Lingular (Superior / Inferior)

Question 16

What is the combined segment in the inferior lobe of the left lung?

Answer 16

Anteromedial basal (Anterior Basal / Medial Basal)

Question 17

What are the main holes in the hilum?

Main bronchi, thickest

pulmonary A. thicker

pulmonary v. thinnest

Question 18

What main thing should we see in the right lung surface?

Answer 18

cardiac impression

groove for first rib

Question 19

What are the main things you will see in the left lung surface?

Answer 19

cardiac impression, groove for first rib

groove for aortic arch and descending aorta

Question 20

What are the two distinct features of the anterior border of the left lung

Answer 20

cardiac notch

lingula

Question 21

CN: lung cancer

Answer 21

can involve the phrenic n, left vagus n., left recurrent larungeal nerve

treat with pneumectomy, lobectomy, segmentectomy via lung resection

Question 22

What are the four types of parietal pleura?

Answer 22

costal

mediastinal

diaphragmatic

cervical

Question 23

CN: Pleuritis

Answer 23

inflammation of the pleura producing a roughness on the lungs, making breathing difficult

Question 24

CN: pulmonary collapse

Answer 24

occurs when enough air enters the pleural cavity to break the surface tension between the two layers of pleura

the elasticity of the lungs causes them to collapse

Question 25

CN: Pneumothorax

Answer 25

entry of air inot the pleural cavity form a penetrating wound to the thoracic wall or rupture of a pulmonary lesion into the pleural cavity, which results in a collapse of the lung

Question 26

CN: hydrothorax

Answer 26

accumulation of excess fluid in the pleural cavity, usually the result of fluid escape into the pleural cavity or pleural effusion

Question 27

CN: hemothorax:

Answer 27

accumulation of blood in the pleural cavity, usually the result of a chest wound, lacerating the intercostal vessel or internal thoracic vessel rather than the lung itself

Question 28

What is the flow of air through the airway?

Answer 28

trachea main bronchus superior lobar bronchus segmental bronchi conducting bronchiole terminal bronchiole respiratory bronchiole alveolar duct alveolus

Question 29

bronchial asthma

Answer 29

widespread narrowing of the airways produced by contraction of smooth muscle, edema of the mucosa, and mucus in the lumen of the bronchi and bronhioles
