Q

Describe the function of the papillary mm and chorda tendineae

A

The papillary mm contract right before venticular systole. This places tension on the chorda tendineae. This tension keeps the valves closed and blood from regurgitating back into the atria.

39

Sym: bronchial relaxation, pulmonary arterial smooth mm constriction, decreased glandular secretion

40
Q

Describe the pulmonary pleura

A

Consists of visceral and parietal membranes with serous fluid between whose purpose is to keep the membranes close together and to reduce friction and sound

41
Q

A

Hilum

42
Q

Structure: extra reflexion of pleural membranes onto each other, inferior to the hilar region that provides a small of amount of stability

A

Pulmonary ligament (NOT a TRUE ligament)

43
Q

A

R = 3 lobes (upper, middle, lower); oblique fissure and horizontal fissure (divides upper lobe)

L = 2 lobes (upper, lower); oblique fissure

44
Q

Describe Mitral Valve Prolapse

A

When the mitral valve everts [or fails to close] during ventricular systole

Can produce chest pain, SOB, arrhythmia

45
Q

Structure: Open into the R/L aortic sinuses or spaces above the cusps of the aortic valve

A

R and L coronary arteries

46
Q

Describe Pericardial (Friction) Rub

A

If the serous layers of the pericardium becomes rough [typically due to infection] then friction and vibrations may occur

*Side note: pleural friction rubs sound very similar

47
Q

Describe the blood flow to the coronary arteries

A

Blood flow is greatest during diastole

With systole the pressure is too high and the arteries are covered the aortic valve cusps

During diastole, the blood that didn’t make it over the aortic arch falls back down, pooling in the cusps and draining into the coronary arteries

48

Secondary: pair of anterior cardiac veins

51

Each lung as 10 segments (maybe 8 on the left)

57
Q

Describe the bronchial arteries

A

bronchi are suppled by small arterties that bring oxygenated blood to the bronchial tree

2 on the left come off the descending aorta

1 on the right comes off the 3rd posterior intercostal artery

58
Q

Describe how the elastic lungs are balanced to remain inflated

A

The lungs tend to collapse due to their elastic fibers

The chest wall structure, the muscles of the thoracic cage, and the negative pressure in the pleural space keep the lungs inflated
