Q

skeleton of thorax
ribs (2)
sternum (3)
components and sternal angle

A

ribs:
1. designed for mobility- go from lesser -> greater mobility as you move down ribs
2. 1 -7 true ribs,
8-12 are false ribs with greater potential for mobility 11&12 don’t insert on sternum
sternum:
3. mobility driven
4. 3 components are maubrium. body, and xyphoid
5. sternal angle = level of 2nd rib = level of carina

basics (2) costotransverse joints (1)

A
  1. stability driven, vertebral column stacking is for mechanical alignment and support
  2. ligamentous support, 3 articulations = very stable
  3. difference in upper and lower ribs costo-transverse joints:
    ribs 1-7 rotate in ant/ sup direction

Q

diaphragm (4)
innervation
how much of TV effort and volume does it provide?
primary movement is dependent on…

A
  1. innervation- phrenic nerve C3-C5 (C3,4,5 keeps the diaphragm alive)
  2. major muscle of passive ventilation, provides 2/3-3/4 of TV effort and volume
  3. primary movement: dependent on intercostals and abdominal muscles to help generate adequate pressure changes btwn thoracic and abdominal cavities during inhalation.
  4. uses positive pressure of abdominal cavity to help stabilize central tendon of movement of ribs in lateral and superior direction

  2. provides superior expansion of upper chest
  3. least energy efficient muscle
18
Q 
upper airways (2) 
 4 components and functions
A
  1. components: nose, mouth, pharynx and larynx

2. function- cleanse, heat and humidify air and resonance for phonation

19
Q

lower airways (4)
3 portions
2 layers
what protects opening of lower airways?

A
  1. components of conducting airways: trachea, and right and left mainstem bronchi
  2. components of repspiratory airway: alveoli, cilia (sol = 90% and gel layer = sticky layer)
    1. cilia start around the 12th generation and hydration is key for bronchial hygiene and minimizing risk of bacterial infection
  3. vocal folds protect opening of lower airways
20
Q

a note on lung lobes
where is lingula and cardiac notch?
which lung is most commonly aspirated? why?

A
  1. left lobe has lingula (instead of middle lobe) and cardiac notch
  2. right lower lung is most common to aspirate because angle of bronchi
21
Q

lung physiology; control of breathing
3 respiratory centers in brain stem
2 chemoreceptors
2 reflexes

A 
respiratory centers in brainstem
 1. respiratory center in medulla
 2. apnueustic center in pons
 3. pneumotaxic center in pons
chemoreceptors (CO2 sensitive)
 4. central- medulla- very sensitive and efficient at monitoring CO2
 5. peripheral- carotid bodies, less sensitive
reflexes
 6. cough/gag
 7. muscle spinde
22
Q

compliance- a mechanical factor in respiration
what is it?
what happens if you have too much/ too little?
chest wall fractures…

A
  1. compliance = ease at which lungs expand
    not enough => can’t get in enough air
    too much => can’t expirate all the air
  2. chest wall fractures = too much compliance
23
Q 
lung volumes (4)
 TV
 IRV
 ERV
 RV
A
  1. tidal volume = amount of air moved in and out of lungs during quiet respiration
  2. inspiratory reserve volume= amt of air moved into lungs above normal tidal inhaltion
  3. expiratory reserve volume = amt of air moved out of lungs above normal tidal exhalation
  4. residual volume = amt of air that remains in lungs after forced exhalation
24
Q 
lung capacities (5)
 IC
 FRC
 VC
 TLC
 MV
A
  1. inspiratory capacity= TV +IRV
  2. functional reserve capacity = ERV + RV
  3. vital capacity= ERV + IRV + TV
  4. total lung capacity = IRV + ERV + RV + VC
  5. minute volume = TV * # breaths/ min
25
Q

innervation of lungs (2)

A
  1. visceral- no somatosensory inn so no pain

2. parietal- innervated = can feel pain

26
Q

where is ventilation best? (rule)
standing
side ly
supine

A

where gravity is pulling blood,
standing: its in the lower lobes of lungs
side ly: is on the bottom lung
supine: posterior aspect of lungs

27
Q

airway resistance (2)

A
  1. excessively high airway resistance - air cannot move in unidirectional flow
  2. excessively low airway resistance- small airway collapse at end of inspiration
28
Q

ventilation/ perfusion (V/Q) matching
what they are dependent on
mismatches -shunt vs. dead space and where they occur

A
  1. perfusion is position (gravity) dependent
  2. ventilation follows path of least resistance
  3. (V< Q) = dead space - lower lung
  4. (V>Q) = shunt - upper lung
29
Q

2 things that affect diffusion

A
  1. ability of O2 to be transported

2. pulmonary- capillary membrane wall thickness

30
Q

2 things that transport O2

A
  1. plasma

2. Hb

31
Q

oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve- shifts to the R under these 4 conditions

A

shifts to R = unloading O2 to tissues

  1. increase temperature
  2. increase PCO2
  3. increase 2,3 DPG
  4. decrease [H]
32
Q

three major influences of chest wall development

A
  1. gravity
  2. muscle strength
  3. muscle tone
33
Q 
normal chest wall development- newborn (5)
 size and shape
 musculoskeletal developemnt
 development
 breathing pattern
 RR
A
  1. size and shape- triangluar in frontal plane and circular in horizontal; occupies 1/3 trunk
  2. musculoskeletal development- functions similarly to pelvis for stability
  3. parallel gross motor development- holding head up?
  4. breathing patterns- obligatory diaphragm breathers
  5. RR- 40-60
34
Q 
normal chest wall development - 3-6 months
 size and shape
 musculoskeletal developemnt
 development
 breathing pattern (2)
 RR
A
  1. size and shape- more rectulangar not elongated
  2. musculoskeletal development- upper thorax still functioning similar to pelvis; no axial rotation in T/S
  3. parallel gross motor development- leg rolling
  4. breathing pattern- upper and anterior chest expansion is possible
    still primary diaphragmatic breathers, anterior
  5. RR - decreasing
35
Q

normal chest wall development- 6-12 months
* this is the most significant stage of normal chest wall development
size and shape- how does this compare to size at birth?
musculoskeletal developemnt
development
breathing pattern

A
  1. size and shape- more rectangular, now elongating and ribs being to rotate downwards; lung size increased 4x since birth
  2. musculoskeletal development- once ribs have rotated downward, elongation and rotation is possible
  3. parallel gross motor developemt- transition from creeping to walking = greater O2 demands
  4. breathing pattern- all patterns are available
36
Q

normal chest wall development over 12 months

A
  1. trends continue but less dramatic, flaring ribs beecome less apparent as abdominals and intercostals become strongers
37
Q

trends in aging (3)

A
  1. increased lung complaince, because of decreased elastic recoil of lung tissue
  2. decreased chest wall complainc
  3. decreased lung volumes and expiratory flow rates, except residual volume which increases
38
Q 
paradoxical breathing (2)
 paralyzed intercostals or abs
A
  1. upper chest collapses during inspiration

2. belly rises excessively, diaphragm does not encounter any resistance as central tendon descends

39
Q 
paralyzed breathing (2)
 paralyzed diaphragm
A
  1. lower chest and abdomen collapses during inspiration

2. upper chest rises excessively

40
Q

7 other examples of paradoxical breathing

  1. diaphragm and upper accessory muscles only
  2. isolated diaphragm
  3. upper accessory muscles only
  4. lateral breathers
  5. asymmetric breathers
  6. shallow breathers
  7. altered speech support patterns
A
  1. diaphragm and upper accessory muscles only- paralyzed intercostals
  2. isolated diaphragm- SCI
  3. upper accessory muscles only- high SCI
  4. lateral breathers- weakness, not paralysis of trunk muscles
  5. asymmetric breathers- hemiplegia, post surgical
  6. shallow breathers- high tone patients
  7. altered speech support patterns- poor breath support or eccentric control
41
Q 
pulmonary circulation (2)
 normal and high Pressures, and why you have high P
A
  1. normal = 25/10, high= 50/30
  2. hypertension in lung comes from trying to shunt blood to where there is 02 is which is accomplished by vasoconstriction
