A

common carotid arteries

48
Q

The nerve lying immediately lateral to the trachea on both sides is the

A

vagus nerve

49
Q

what provides motor and sensory inervation to larynx

recurrent laryngeal nerves (branches of vagus)

50
Q

At what vertebral level does the trachea divide into the two main bronchi?

A

t4-5

51
Q

bronchi that most often aspirates

A

right

While the left main bronchus enters the lung before giving off its branches,

the right main bronchus gives off a superior branch just before entering the right lung.
This branch is known as the eparterial or superior lobar bronchus (the inferiorly placed main bronchus then being called the hyparterial bronchus).

52
Q

bronchiole structure

A

NO cartilage or glands

increased smooth muscle and elastic fibres

53
Q

Hilum

A

the area on the medial surface of the lung through which structures enter or leave the lung

54
Q

root

A

The structures which enter and leave the lung at the hilum are known collectively as the root of the
lung

55
Q

right lung only features

A

 middle lobe (wholly anteriorly situated between the transverse and oblique fissures)

 transverse fissure

 superior lobar (eparterial) bronchus. (The inferior bronchus is then called the hyparterial bronchus)

56
Q

left lung only features

A

cardiac impression
aortic impression
cardiac notch
lingula

57
Q

lymphatic drainage of lungs

A

drain into the bronchopulmonary lymph nodes

From here, lymphatics pass to the tracheobronchial nodes

which drain eventually into the thoracic duct (left) and right lymphatic duct
