export_respiratory system Flashcards
What innate defense to foreign particles or MOs is present in the trachea?
Mucociliary escalator
What is the manubrium?
The Cranial part of the sternum
Where is the xyphoid process?
Base of the sternum
Describe the diaphragm’s location
- between the thorax and abdomen
- T12;
- hypaxial muscle composed of skeletal muscle tissue
- crural, costal and sternal
Holes of Diaphragm
1) Aorta Hiatus
2) Oesophageal Hiatus
3) Caval foramen
What is ciliary dyskinesia
Cilia not coordinated, congen. Animals will be prone to ear and resp infections.
Lobar bronchus becomes many tertiary bronchi which supplies..
Bronchopulmonary segments
What divides the lungs into lobules?
Peribronchiole CT
Luncg tumors can only be removed if…
within the same bronchopulmonary segment
What is monopodial division?
Equal sized daughters, stemming from below the growing point.
After 6 monopodial divisions, what happens?
Parent stem divides to produse many much smaller daughter bronci. Inc Xsectional Area
What does the trachealis muscle do?
It sits behind trachea inbetween trachea and esophagus. It relaxes during swallowing and contracts during coughing to narrow lumen
Semicircular tracheal rings in dogs allows….
tracheal expansion, effect of gravity.
Define a bronchiole
*
Define the order of bronchiole divisions
Bronchioles –> terminal –> resp zone –> resp b –> alveola sacs –> alveoli
Respiratory bronchioles have
- clara cells
- cuboidal epi, no cilia
- no goblet cells
What are clara cells
Cells in resp bronchioles and alveoli
Secrete surfactant
non-ciliated
Describe alveoli
ALVEOLI
- Round to cup-shaped
- Simp Sq epi surrounded by Capill.
What are type 1 alveocytes
epi cells, thinly ‘spread’
What are type 2 alveocytes
Clara cells. surfactant producing, very few
What is a Bronchovascular bundle?
- bronchi
- artery
- vein
- lymphatic vessel
What property of the capillary network means that secondary neoplasia is common?
There are no arteriovenous anastomoses so all blood must run through lung cap bed.
Describe the blood supply to the lungs
- Brochial a from aorta –> bronchi
- Follow and divide with bronchioles
- At resp bronchioles –> drain away
- drain = CR VC, Azygous, Pulm v –> LA
Nervous supply of lungs…
- pulmonary plexus
- parasymp from vagus
- symp from trunk T2-T5
Trachea forms from….
F-gut outpouching
