Q

Why are there vertebral enlargements?

A
  1. There are two enlargements, lumbar and cervical.
  2. These areas of the spinal cord have more axons, so we can provide U.L. and L.L. with innervation.
  3. Provide structure support and strength where the limbs branch off.

Why is the posterior side of the trachea’s cartilaginous rings incomplete?

A

This allows space for a bolus of food to go down the esophagus, preventing choking.

84
Q

What is the difference between the left and right primary bronchus?

A

The right primary bronchus is larger and more in line with the trachea, while the left primary is smaller and more angled outward.

85
Q

When inhaling food during choking, the food is most likely to be stuck in the _____________.

A

Right primary bronchus.

86
Q

Order of tubes in the lungs:

A
  1. Trachea.
  2. Primary bronchus.
  3. Secondary bronchus - Lobar (supply whole lobe)
  4. Tertiary bronchus - Segmented.
  5. Alveoli.
87
Q

Serous membranes:

A
  1. Pleura in/around the lungs.
  2. Pericardium in/around the heart.
  3. Peritoneum in/around abdomen
88
Q

What is the function of all serous membranes?

A

To prevent friction and protect the internal organs.

89
Q

________ pericardium is against the surface of the heart.

A

visceral

90
Q

_________ pericardium is the second layer surrounding the heart.

A

Parietal.

91
Q

_________ pericardium anchors the heart anteriorly to the sternum and posteriorly to the diaphragm, and has very little flexibility.

A

Fibrous.

92
Q

________ pleura lays directly on the surface of the lungs.

A

Visceral pleura.

93
Q

_________ pleura is against the thoracic wall.

A

Parietal.

94
Q

True or false: Pericardial and pleural cavities are potential spaces that are filled with serous fluid.

A

FALSE - Pericardial and pleural cavities are REAL spaces that are filled with serous fluid.

95
Q

What would occur is the pleural cavity is punctured?

A

When the diaphragm contracts, air will flow into the pleural cavity instead of the lungs, limiting the amount of air going into the lungs.

96
Q

What are the three directions by which we expand the thoracic cavity in order to create a negative vacuum in the lungs, to allow air in?

A
  1. Transverse, by elevating the ribs.
  2. Anterior to superior, by the ribs.
  3. Superior to inferior, by the respiratory diaphragm contracting.
97
Q

True or false: All muscles that attach to the ribs will play a part in respiration.

A

TRUE.

98
Q

The ________ nerves descend to supply the respiratory diaphragm, comprised of ___ ___ ___ spinal nerves.

A
  1. Phrenic nerves.
  2. C3, C4, C5 spinal nerves

Q

If the volume of the thoracic cavity increases, the pressure in the thoracic cavity will _______

A

decrease.

101
Q

What veins drain the U.L. blood?

A

The foramen ovale becomes the fossa ovalis at the first breath of a newborn baby. This occurs because the pressure in the left atrium will be greater than the right atrium, as the blood returning from the lungs will force the foramen ovale closed.

120
Q

Explain when and how the ductus arteriosus becomes the ligamentum arteriosum?
