Chapter 2: Thorax (continued) Flashcards
What are pleural reflections?
lines along which individual regions of parietal pleura merge
What are pleural recesses?
potential spaces not occupied by lung tissue except during deep inspiration
Costodiaphragmatic recesses?
spaces below the inferior borders of the lungs where costal and diaphragmatic pleura are in contact
Costomediastinal recess?
a space where the left costal and mediastinal parietal pleura meet, leaving a space caused by the notch of the left lung
What structures pass through the hilum of the lung?
pulmonary vessels, primary bronchi, nerves, and lymphatics
Each lung has how many surfaces? Name them.
3 surfaces
- costal surface
- mediastinal surface
- diaphragmatic surface
A tumor at what part of the lung may result in thoracic outlet syndrome? Also what is the name of this type of tumor?
apex of neck
Pancoast tumor
What are the 3 lobes of the right lung?
superior, middle, inferior
What are the fissures that separate the right lung?
2 fissures the horizontal and oblique
Label the image.
The horizontal fissure of the right lung separates what lobes?
the superior from the middle lobe
The oblique fissure of the lung separates what lobes in the right lung?
middle from the inferior lobe
The left lung is divided into how many lobes? What are their names?
2 lobes
superior
inferior
What fissure separates the superior and inferior lobes of the left lung?
oblique fissure
What is the lingula of the lung?
the tip or tongue-like projection of the upper lobe of the left lung
The oblique fissure of both lungs projects anteriorly at approximately what ICS in midclavicular line?
5th
Where does the horizontal fissure of the rt lung run in relation to the ICS?
runs horizontally from the oblique fissure in the rt 5th ICS to the rt 4th costal cartilage
The superior lobe of the right lung projects anteriorly on the chest wall above which rib?
4th rib
A small portion of the inferior lobe of both lungs projects below which rib anteriorly?
6th rib anteriorly but primarily to the posterior chest wall
How do we listen to breath sounds of the superior lobes?
for rt and lft lungs, stethoscope is placed on the superior area of the anterior chest wall (above the 4th rib for rt lung)
How do we listen to breath sound from the middle lobe of the right lung?
stethoschope placed on the anterior chest wall inferior to the 4th rib and medially toward sternum
How do we listen to breath sounds for the inferior lobes of both lungs?
primarily heard on the posterior chest wall
Aspiration of a foreign body will most often enter which bronchus?
right primary bronchus; which is shorter, wider, and more vertical than the left primary bronchus
Which lobe, when a person is vertical will a foreign body most likely be aspirated into?
foreign body usually falls into the posterior basal segment of rt inferior lobe
What are the 2 main ways that lymph flow will return to the blood?
right lymphatic duct
thoracic duct
Where do the right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct drain into?
the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins on their respective sides
The thoracic duct carries all lymphatic drainage from the body from where in the body?
from the body below the diaphragm and on the left side of the trunk and head above the diaphragm
