A

Their Eustachian tube is open, not allowing their ear to control the pressure inside them. Their ears cannot pop and depressurize, therefore in instances of high pressure change (like taking off or descending on a plan) they are very uncomfortable due to the pressure located in their ears.

105
Q

Essay Q: How does Anaphalaxis cause Circulatory Shock?

A

During a severe allergic reaction, every precapillary sphincter in the body becomes dialated all at once. There is not enough blood in the body to fill all 20,000 miles of capillaries at once. So this mass dialation of precapillary sphincters causes the blood pressure in the body to drop dramatically. If not fixed nearly immediately, death ensues. This dramatic lowering of BP is known as Circulatory Shock.

106
Q

108
Q

Which duct accepts drainage from the Right leg?

Lymphocytes

112
Q

State the Full Pathway of Air through the upper tract.

A

External Naris - Nasal Vestibule - Nasal cavity (three meatuses) - Posterior nasal aperture - nasopharynx - oropharynx - laryngopharynx - Glottis of Larynx - Trachea - R+L Primary Bronchi - Secondary Bronchi - Tertiary Bronchi - 4th through 23th order bronchi - terminal bronchioles - Respitory Bronchioles - alveolar ducts - alveolar sacs made of alveoli.

113
Q

Upper/Vestibular Folds of the Larynx

114
Q

118
Q

What prevents the trachea from collapsing between breaths?

A

Rings of Hyaline cartilage

119
Q

Why do the cartiligious rings of the trachea not go completely arround the structure?

A

The Eusophagus is located behind the trachea, and it needs room to expand forward while processing food and the spine is stopping it from expanding backwards.

120
Q

About how many Bronchopulmonary segments does the Right lung have?

A

10 Segments

121
Q

About how many Bronchopulmonary segments does the Left Lung have?

A

8 or 9 ordinarily.

122
Q

What is the distincting factor of Bronchopulmonary segments?

They are each individualized due to the fact that they have their own Bronchus, Artery, and Veins.

123
Q

If one Bronchopulmonary segment has a disease or sickness, why is it not likely to spread to another segment?

A

Since they each have their own veins, arteries, and bronchi, it is highly unlikely for sickness to spread to another segment since it would need to trace it’s way all the way back to the primary bronchi and then back down into a segment.

124
