Final Review - Personalized Pt 1 Flashcards
Adult larynx position
3rd - 6th cervical vertebre
larynx position at birth
C3-4
Normal A-O extension
35 degrees
Prognathism
protruding jaw/mandible
Narrowest portion of adult and child airway
adult - glotis
child - cricoid ring
cartilages of larynx
3 paired, 3 unpaired
paired - arytenoid, corniculate, cuniform
unpaired - epiglottis, thyroid, cricoid
Intrinsic Muscles (2 sets)
1 - alters size and shape - aryepliglottic, thyroepiglottic, arytenoid
2 - move true vocal cords
SLN
Internal - sensation causes spasm
External - motor innervation of cricothyroid muscle
cricothyroid muscle
innervated by external SLN
tensor of VC, elongates
Posterior cricoarytenoid
abductor
innervated by RLN
(please come apart)
thyroarytenoid
relaxor of VC
RLN
innervated all of larynx except cricothyroid muscle
-sensory information for below cords
Tracheal anatomy
20-25 c shaped cartilages
C6-T5, divides at T5-7 (~25 cm from teeth)
R mainstem
straighter, larger
Conducting Airways
anatomical deadspace, ventilation but no perfusion
-last site at terminal bronchiole which has gas no exchange
goblet cells
mucous producers, increase with injury
clara cells
in small bronchioles that do not have goblet cells, produce watery substance
Type 1 pneumocyte
increase surface area
cannot heal quickly
95% of wall
Type 2 pneumocyte
secrete surfactant
repairs epithelium
can regenerate to Type 1
usually mature at 24 weeks gestation
surfactant
decrease surface tension
prevent alveolar collapse/promotes stability
prevents transudation of fluid into alveoli
-DPPC, hydrophobic and hydrophillic opposing ends
Lung weight
1.5% of body weight
1 kg in 70 kg pt
Alveolar surface area
70 meters squared internal surface area
40 x external body surface area
short diffusion pathway
Inspiration
active phase
phrenic nerve (C3, 4, 5) innervates diaphragm
*negative pressure ventilation
Intercostal Nerves
T1-11, send signals to external intercostal muscles
Diaphragm
responsible for 75% of inspiratory effort
contraction - downward and forward movement
ribs lifted and moved outward
*down 1 cm during normal, can but up to 10 cm forced
-denervated = paradoxical chest movement
External Intercostals
- responsible for 25% respiration
- originate from ventral rami of T1-11
- contraction - ribs up and forward
- denervated causes feeling of dyspnea
Accessory Muscels
-assist forced inspiration
scalene muscles - elevated first 2 ribs
sternocleidomastoid - raise sternum
Expiration
passive
muscles - abdominal and internal intercostals
Transpulmonary pressures
pressure different between intrapulmonary and intrapleural
Recoil Pressure
elastic forces
Lung Pleura
visceral - thin, serosal that envelopes lungs
parietal - lines inner surface of chest wall
Pleura Pressure
-5 cm H20 at rest,
during inspiration -7.5
FRC
2.5 L
ERV + RV
What can spirometry not measure?
RV, so FRC and TLC cannot be determined this way. must use helium dilution or nitrogen washout
