CABS: 1,000 ft View Pulmonology Flashcards
External canal leads to the
nasopharynx
Turbulence in the nasal cavity helps
keep the air warm
superiorly in the nasal cavity
cribriform plate
inferiorly in the nasal cavity is
hard palate
as air moves through the conchae it becomes
turbulent
hair filters the ____ in the nasal cavity
air
mucosa in the nasal cavity helps
with warmth and humidification
paranasal sinuses help with
humidification of air and contains mucus (traps foreign particles)
Pharynx is lined with ________ cells that continue to make ______ to humidify air
ciliated columnar cells
mucus
Nasopharynx is just for
air
Septum divides the _____
nairs
Oropharynx and laryngopharynx are the passage areas for
food and drink
uvula and soft palate of the oropharynx protect upper passages from backflow of
fluids
laryngopharynx will divide inferiorly into the
esophagus and trachea
Epiglottis will ________ so that food does not go into the _______
separate
trachea
Upper and lower respiratory tract is seperated by
cricoid cartilage
Tracheobronchial tree is _____ shaped cartilage ______ structure
U
ringed
Is U shaped for
movement and swallowing of food
Air enters the lungs at the
hilum
Hilum is
the entry and exit point from the lung parenchyma to attach to other structure
Respiratory tract is lined by
cilia
Cilia in the resp tract help
to push FB and microorganisms out (cough)
Goblet cells are
modified epithelial cells to produce mucin which will lubricate airways, trap molecules and humidify the inhaled air
Things mostly go down the right side of the carina into the right lung because it is
straighter
Bronchioles have 3 tissue layers
epithelial lining (containing goblet cells and cilia)
smooth muscle layer
connective tissue layer
Smooth muscle in the bronchioles are responsible for
bronchoconstriction
bronchodilation
Nasal cavity has
turbinates (to warm and humidify)
cilia
Carina splits ______ in two
trachea into right and left main bronchi
Bronchi keep branching and branching into
alveoli
alveoli are
thin elastic basement membrane to allow for good diffusion
smooth muscle around alveoli controls
airway resistance
Lung lobes
upper
lower
right middle
Search pattern on CXR (ABCDEF)
Airway (trachea, carina, bronchi)
Bones (clavicles, scapula, humeri, ribs, vertebra)
Cardiac and mediastinum
Diaphragm (symmetry, pleura)
Extras (lines, drains, wires, abdomen)
Fields (opacity, density)
CXR fluffy, patchy
alveolus +/- bronchiole
CXR linear
interstitium
CXR Blunted costophrenic angles, meniscus sign
Pleura
