the sternal angle projects back to
T4-T5
the caval opening in the central tendon of the diaphragm is in line with
T8
the esophageal opening in the diaphragm is in line with
T10
the aortic diatus of the diaphragm is in line with
T12
A. SVC
B. right atrium
C. IVC
D. aortic arch
E. left ventricle
groove for the horizontal fissure lies in
right lung
the lingula lies in the
left lung
keel-like septum at the bifurcation of the trachea
carina
loops around arch of aorta near the ligamentum arteriosum
left recurrent laryngeal nerve
hooks around right subclavian artery
right recurrent laryngeal nerve
drains into the subclavian vein
internal thoracic
the azygous drains into the
superior vena cava
the diaphragm […] during inspiration, and […] during expiration
contracts; relaxes
when the diaphragm contracts, it
flattens
the main role of all the intercostals during all phases of respiration is
maintaining spacing and rigidity
maintain intercostal spaces during inspiration
external intercostals
maintain intercostal spaces during expiration
internal and innermost
the ribs elevate during
inspiration
carries parasympathetic nerve fibers
vagus
- thoracic duct
- esophagus
- descending aorta
- azygous system
are found where?
posterior mediastinum
the thymus is found in the […] mediastinum
anterior
flow of lymph through the bronchopulmonary lymphatic plexus
- pulmonary lymph nodes
- bronchopulmonary lymph nodes
- tracheobronchial lymph nodes
- bronchomediastinal lymph trucks
- right: right lymphatic duct; left: thoracic duct
which bronchus is shorter, wider, and more vertical?
right main
aspirated bodies are most likely to become lodged in the
2
- right main bronchus
- right inferior lobar bronchus
small ridge at inferior end of the trachea that separates the openings of the right and left main bronchi
carina
mucosal covering is highly sensitive, contact by an aspirated object stimulates the cough reflex
carina
bronchus that is longer, more narrow, more horizontal
left main bronchus
turns superiorly from the end of the main bronchus to enter the superior lobe
right superior bronchus
