Q

Tension Pneumothorax

A
  • hole in thorax allows extra air to get into lung during inhalation but not out during exhalation
  • can overfill and compress/damage other lung too

Q

Bronchopulmonary Segments

A
  • Arteries are intrasegmental (inside branches)
  • Veins are intersegmental (between segments)
  • Diseases are often localized in segments

Q

Sympathetic vs Parasympathetic Stimulation of Lungs

A

Sympathetic - bronchodilation & inhibition of bronchial secretions

Parasympathetic - bronchoconstriction & increases bronchial secretion

Q

Lower Respiratory System

A
  • Develops from cranial foregut
  • Contains larynx, trachea, bronchi, & lungs
  • Cartilaginous, muscular, and connective tissue of trachea and lungs are dervived from splanchnic mesoderm

Q

Blind Ending In Proximal Esophagus In Infant

A
  • Results in esophageal atresia & polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid)
  • Infant can’t swallow enough amniotic fluid to get in out of the amniotic cavity
  • Clinical signs include gagging after swallowing a liquid
