Lower respiratory tract consists of…(6)
trachea R and L main bronchi lobar bronchi segmental bronchi bronchioles alveoli
Which parts of the LRT are located in the lungs?
lobar bronchi –> alveoli
What happens at the level of C6 vertebrae?
larynx becomes trachea
pharynx becomes oesophagus
The trachea can be palpated at the _______ notch of the ________

2 -4
What are the functions of the chest walls? (3)
protect the heart and lungs
make the movements of breathing
breast tissue - lactation
Layers of the chest wall (5)
skin fascia skeletal muscle bones/joints parietal pleura
The chest cavity consists of the mediastinum and the R and L pleural cavities - true or false?
true
During development the lung bud penetrates the pleural cavity - true or false?
false
the lung bud pushes against but never enters the pleural cavity
Where does the lung bud originate from?
the mediastinum
Development of the lung bud into the pleural area causes the development of a ______ and _______ pleura
visceral, parietal
The parietal pleura is the part which attaches to the….
chest wall
The visceral pleura is the part which attaches to the…
lung
The pleural fluid does two things, these are?
act as a lubricant
create surface tension
What does the pleural surface tension ensure?
the lungs move with the pleural fluid and thus inflate
number of bronchopulmonary segments in each lung

Each bronchopulmonary segment has its own nerve and blood supply - true or false?
true
Name the lobes and fissures of the lungs
R - superior lobe, inferior lobe, middle lobe
horizontal and oblique fissure
L - superior and inferior lobe
oblique fissure
