25
Q

What are the 4 impressions on the medial side of the left lung?

A

Aorta, esophagus, subclavian artery, and the cardiac notch

26
Q

Discuss the relationship of the bronchus, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary veins at the hilum of the lungs:

A

The pulmonary artery is superior to both the bronchus and the pulmonary veins; the bronchus then, is posterior to the pulmonary veins.

27
Q

What are the four impressions on the medial side of the right lung?

A

Azygous vein, SVC, subclavian, artery, and cardiac

28
Q

Which structures form impressions on the mediastinal surfaces of BOTH lungs?

A

Subclavian artery and heart

29
Q

What type of bronchus supplies a bronchopulmonary segment? What is the relationship of pulmonary veins to these segments?

A

Tertiary bronchi supply them; pulmonary veins run between bronchopulmonary segments

30
Q

What is the significance of bronchopulmonary segments? Which other organ in the body has an analogous arrangement?

A

They allow for individual resection of bits of lung; the liver

31
Q

What 3 structures form the blood-air barrier?

A

Capillary endothelium, type I pneumocyte, and the fusion of their basement membranes

32
Q

What autonomic afferents relay information about lung stretch? Which for acute pain?

A

Parasympathetic afferents via vagus, pain is sympathetics T1-6

33
Q

What is the effect of bronchial glandular activity from both arms of the ANS?

A

Sympathetic decreases glandular activity, parasympathetic increases glandular activity

34
Q

What is the cupula? What does it overlie? What overlies it? Name the 2 pleural recesses:

A

Cupula is the bit of pleura that overlies the apex of the lung, Sibson’s fascia overlies the cupula? Costomediastinal recess and costodiaphragmatic recess

35
Q

Where are 2 areas that the pleura is in danger that is technically outside of the thoracic cage?

A

Below rib 12 posteriorly, and above rib 1 superiorly

36
Q

What arteries supply the parietal and visceral plurae?

A

Parietal from intercostal arteries, Visceral from bronchial arteries

37
Q

Which areas of parietal pleura are innervated by intercostal and phrenic nerves?

A

Intercostal nerves: costal and peripheral diaphragmatic? Phrenic: mediastinal and central diaphragmatic

38
Q

From what side may a “shunt” of lymphatic drainage occur in the lungs?

A

Lower left may drain to right

39
Q

Discuss what allows the thoracic cavity to expand in the following dimensions: 1. AP 2. lateral and 3.vertical

A

Lateral: bucket handle ribs 6-10? AP: pump handles 2-5 and vertical: the diaphragm

40
Q

Where does the mediastinum shift in pneumothorax vs. tension pneumothorax

A

Tension pnuemo shifts to healthy side regular pneumo shifts to diseased in expiration and healthy in inspiration

41
Q

How is mediastinal shifting different in bronchial narrowing vs pneumothorax?

A

Pneumo: shifts to diseased in inspiration and healthy in expiration; narrowing: shifts to healthy in inspiration and diseased in expiration

42
Q

Where is laryngeal epithelium from? What about laryngeal cartilages?

A

The laryngeal epithelium comes from endoderm but the cartilages are from neural crest

43
Q

If a baby were born with only laryngeal muscle, which aortic arch failed to develop? Explain.

A

Arch 6 because the cricothyroid muscle is from arch 4, all others are from arch 6

44
Q

What is the innervation of the laryngeal muscles arising from pharyngeal arch 6?

A

Recurrent laryngeal nerve

45
Q

What is the innervation of the laryngeal muscles arising from pharyngeal arch 4?

A

Superior larygneal nerve

46
Q

Which cranial nerves innervate the laryngeal muscles derived from arches 4 and 6?

A

ALL are from CN X just different braches

47
Q

Where does tracheal/bronchial epithelium and smooth muscle come from?

A

Epithelium is from endoderm and smooth muscle (and cartilage) is from splanchnic mesoderm

48
Q

What is a laryngeal ventricle? Which pharyngeal arches is the epiglottis associated with?

A

Laryngeal ventricle separates true/false vocal cords? Epiglottis arises in relations to the 3rd/4th pharyngeal arches.

49
Q

Name the 5 stages of lung development in order

A

Embryonic, pseudoglandular, canalicular, terminal sac, and alveolar stages

50
Q

In which stage is surfactant present for the first time?

A

Terminal sac stage

51
Q

In which stage is the first appearance of primary, secondary, and tertiary bronchi present?

A

Embryonic stage

52
Q

In which stage is gas exchange first possible?

A

Later weeks of the canalicular stage? but no surfactant yet

53
Q

In which stage are the bronchioles first present but unprepared for gas exchange?

A

Pseudoglandular stage

54
Q

What is the time interval of the alveolar stage of lung development? What’s going on?

A

From birth to age 8. Here the alveoli are maturing and increasing in size and number.

55
Q

What is the gas exchange status in the canilicular stage of lung development?

A

Gas exchange is first possible in the later weeks of this stage, but there is no surfactant

56
Q

If a baby is to be born premature, then with respect to the respiratory system, in which stage of lung development would they have the best prognosis? Why?

A

The terminal sac stage because not only is gas exchange possible but their type II cells produce surfactant

57
Q

Why would an esophageal atresia lead to a uterus disproportionately large for gestational age?

A

Because of polyhydramnios. Since the embryo cannot drink the amniotic fluid it enlarges the uterus.

58
Q

How is a laryngotrachesophageal cleft distinguished from a fistula?

A

They will be aphonic with a cleft

59
Q

Where does the skeletal muscle of the larynx come from? The smooth muscle of the trachea/bronchi?

A

SKM comes from paraxial mesoderm and smooth comes from splanchnic mesoderm which is a derivative of lateral plate mesoderm

60

A

Esophagotracheal septum

61
Q

What is VACTERL deformity associated with? What other deformities are likely present with hypoplasia of lung?
