Anatomy Review Slides Lec. 23 Flashcards
Where does the Trachea Bifurcate into Primary Bronchi?
STERNAL Angle
Blood supply to the LOBULES
Supplied by the TERTIARY Bronchi
Costo-Diaphragmatic Recesses
- Present in BOTH Lung Cavities
- Spaces where the lungs do NOT expand into
Bronchial Arteries
- INTRA-Segmental
- Supply TISSUES of Lungs
Primary Bronchi
- Supported by cartilaginous rings
Blood Supply to the LOBES
SECONDARY Bronchi
Carina
- Located at the INFERIOR end of the Trachea
- Produces intense COUGH reflex
2 Pulmonary veins from Each Lung is what?
INTER-segmented
Lobes in the Lungs
- 3 on the Right
- 2 on the Left
Aspirated objects are more likely to follow which bronchus?
RIGHT
Right Bronchus
Compared to the Left:
- Shorter
- Straighter
- LARGER Diameter
Trachea
- Supported by ‘C’ shaped Cartilage segments
- In Sup. Mediastinum
- Ant. to Esophagus
- Bifurcates into Primary Bronchi
What Lobule is Distinct to the LEFT Lung?
LINGULAR Lobe
Bronchial Veins
- RIGHT to Azygos Veins
- LEFT to accessory Hemiazygos vein
How many Lobules in the LEFT Lung?
8
What is the first site where Gas exchange occurs
- Respiratory Bronchi
How many Lobules in the RIGHT Lung?
10
Route from Trachea to Alveoli
Trachea -> Primary bronchi —> Secondary bronchi —-> Tertiary bronchi ——> Respiratory bronchi ——-> Alveolar sacs ———>Alveoli
