9/15 Anatomy of Lungs Flashcards
the outside membrane surrounding the lungs
the Parietal pleura
the inside sereous membrane surrounding the lungs
the Visceral pleura.
what unique property of the pleura help maintain the inflation of the lungs?
the vacuum seal between the parietal pleura and th visceral pleura
what is between teh parietal and visceral pleura?
the pleural space.
the section of the parietal pleura that lines the ribs and the lungs on the anterior to posterior
the costal parietal pleura
the sectio of the parietal pleura that lines the bottom of the lungs
Diaphragmatic parietal pleura
the part of the covering of the lung that is towards the heart.
the nediastinal parietal pleura
the part of the membrane surrounding the lungs that covers the most supperior section of the lungs
cervical parietal pleura
The space between the bottom and the lungs and the muscular structure bellow
the costal diaphagmatic recess
how does the costal diaphragmatic recess change whith resperation?
the recess will fill up during inhalation
wwhat nerves convey sensory informaiton from the daphragmatic and costal parietal pleura?
C3,C4, C5 phrenic nerve provides inervation to the daphragmatic and the costal parietal pleura.
What provides innervation to the parietal pleura.
the intercostal nerves (somatic sensory of pain, temp, touch)
what provides innervation to the mediastinal parietal pleura?
The phrenic nerve from C3,C4,C5,
What type of nerve provides innervation to the Visceral pleura?
visceral sensory neurons.
what spinal levels provide visceral sensory innervation to the visceral pleura?
The Medula (parasympathetic tracks), and the T1-T4 spinal chord level (sympathetic nerve tracks)
what happens to result in pneumothorax?
Pheumothorax is a deflated lung. for this to happen, we lose the “water” between the parietal and visceral pleura and lose the hydrostatic pressure to keep the lung inflated.
what fissures seperat the lobes of the right lung
Latteral fissure seperates the RUl/RML and the oblique fissure seperates the RML/RLL
what fissures seperate the lobes of the left lung.
Oblique fissure sepperates the LUL/LLL
what are the lobes of the lungs?
RUL;RML;RLL;;LUL;LLL
what structure is a “middle lobe” for the left lung
Lingula
What is another name for the primary bronchus?
right/left main bronchi
contrast the left and right primary bronchi
right is larger verticle and shorter;; left is horizontal/thinner and longer.
what do primary bronchi supply?
the secondary or the lobular bronchi
what is another name for the secondary bronchus?
the lobular bronchus.
what do the secondary bronchi supply?
The different lobes of the lung
how many secondary bronchi are there
there are 3 on the right and two on the left
what is another name for the tertiary bronchus?
the Segmental bronchi
what do the tertiary bronchi supply in the lungs?
the different segments of the lungs
