Q

What is the difference between vertebrosternal, vertebrochondral and floating ribs?

A

true ribs are bound to the sternum with costal cartilage at the costochondral joint

the costal cartilage of false ribs flows into costal margins that form the infrasternal (subcostal) angle. They do not articulate with the sternum

floating ribs have no costal cartilage and are only posteriorly attached to the vertbrae

Q

When the pleural space is broken, air flows _1_ the chest wound instead of through the _2_. Why does this happen?

A
  1. into
  2. lungs

This happenes because of the negative and positive pressures generated in the ventilatory cycle

Q

How do external intercostal muscles attach to ribs? What is their main action?

A

They originate from the inferior border of a rib and insert on the superior border of the next rib. The point diagonally towards the center of the thorax/abdomen.

The action is to elevate ribs during forced inspiration

Q

How does the diaphragm contract? What is the result

A

Its domes are pulled inferiorly. As a result, the domes are flattened and abdominal viscera are pushed inferiorly therefore increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and allowing more air into the lungs.

*also, blood in the IVC is pushed to the heart when the diaphragm contracts

Q

describe the mvmts of ribs during forced inspiration and force expiration.

A

Q

How do you diagnose a paralyzed diaphragm?

A

Radiographically or fluoroscopically.

During inspiration, the paralyzed dome will ascend as it is pushed up by the abdominal viscera (that are being compressed by the active dome).

During expiration, instead of ascending, the paralyzed dome withh descend due to the positive pressure of the lungs,

A

higher

72
Q

A
  • a pneumothorax sounds hollow like a drum (tympany)
  • a hemothorax sounds dull
73
Q

what vital sign change happens as a result of a flail chest fracture?

what happens when they expire?

A

decreased tidal volume
on expiration, air pooches out to exhibit a paradoxical chest motion

Q

what is the biggest concern with a flail chest fracture

A

pulmonary contusion and bleeding into the lung

75
Q

What is located in the root of the lung (include location in hilum)?

bronchus (feel cartilaginous)- located posteriorly

pulmonary artery- located anteriorly and superiorly

pulmonary vein- located anteriorly and inferiorly

lymph

76
Q

what nerve is located between the trachea and the arch of the aorta?

A

the left recurrent laryngeal nerve

77
Q

what structures run parallel as they traverse the superior thoracic aperture?

Trachea, Esophagus, Left Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve, Thoracic

78
Q

what does aberrant mean?

A

79
Q

what is hemoptysis?

A

coughing up blood

(hem- blood + Greek *ptysis *act of spitting)

80
Q

what is the carina? What reflex is it associated with?

A

the cartilaginous projection of the last tracheal ring that sits between the orifices of the right and left main bronchi.

associated with the cough reflex

81
Q

how many segmental bronchi does the right lung have?

A

TEN!

82
Q

How many segmental bronchi are in the left lobe?

A

eight

83
Q

what is a pulmonary embolism?

A

Obstruction of a pulmonary artery by a blood clot (embolus)

84
Q

what is a thrombus?

what is an embolus?

A

a blood clot

any intravascular mass (gas, solid, liquid) detached and in circulation

85
Q

what happens as a result of pulmonary embolism?

A

the patient suffers from acute respiratory distress

86
Q

why does pulmonary embolism cause acute respiratory distress?

A
  • because blood flow is blocked in the lungs, there is a decrease in oxygenated blood, increase in CO2 (therefore increase in acidity) in blood. The lungs try to compensate with tachypnea but if they cannot expel the CO2, the heart and brain start to fail (arrythmias/unconsiousness then death)
  • also a rise in pulmonary pressure can lead to failure of the right ventricle
  • pulmonary infarct is produces (an area of necrotic (dead) lung tissue)
87
Q

lymph from the bronchomediastinal lymph nodes drain to the inferior _1_ (carinal) nodes and then to the _2_ (hilar) nodes

What is pleurisy? What effect does it have on the lungs?

A

Pleuritis: inflammation fo the lung. Makes the lungs rough.

89
Q

is the lung tissue (visceral pleura) sensitive to pain? Is the parietal pleura? why or why not?

A

no, it is not innervated, therefore not sensitive to pain

yes! very sensitive. It is innervated by nerves deried from the intercostal and phrenic nerves.

the phrenic nerve is sourced by which parts of the cervical nerve?

A

“C3, 4, and 5 keep the diaphragm alive.”

96

The heart has an increased workload
