The portion of \n\nthat membrane covering the lungs is called the __ pleura
visceral
covering the inside of the adult thorax is the ___ pleura.
parietal
B. The space between the parietal and visceral layers of pleura is the
pleural cavity. \n
the surface tension of the ___ maintians the close association between lungs and thoracic wall
pleural fluid
surface tension of pleural fluid maintians
lung inflation
between the costal pleura and the diaphramgatic pleura is the
costiodiaphragmatic recess
Knowledge of the lines of ____, which delineate the entire extent of \n\nthe pleural cavity, is critical when evaluating a patient with a penetrating wound \n\nto the thorax. T
pleural reflection
The parietal pleura receives most of its innervation from branches of somatic \n\nsensory fibers contained within
intercostal nerves
types of fibers from the intercostal nerves that innervate the parietal pleura
somatic sensory
the phrenic nerve comes from
somatic snesory somatic motor sympathetic motor from c3 c4 c5
a lot of of the diaphramatic pleura receives soamtic snesory fibers from the
phrenic nerve
costal pleural is located
pleaura facing the thoracic wall
superior pleura
cervical pleura
pleura near the heart
medistinal pleura
____ inflammation of parietal pleura
pluersy
localized pain of throacoabdominal wall caused by
pleursy, inflammation of somatic sensory neurons in parietal pleura
two components of bronchial tree
conducting and respiratory portion
The conducting portion of the bronchial tree is solely for the \n
conduction of air
The respiratory portion of the bronchioles is specialized for \n
gas exchange
The Trachea \n\nContinuous with the
larynx
the trachea is a tube comprised of
hyaline \n\ncartilage and smooth muscle;
trachea bifurcates at the level of the ____\n\ninto right and left principal bronchi
sternal angle
division begtween the right and left principal bronchi after the trachea
carina
The right principal bronchus is ___ ___ and ____\n\nthan the left.
wider shorter more vertical
For this reason, foreign objects tend to be inhaled \n\ninto the ___ bronchus.
right
The left principal bronchus is longer and narrower than the right; \n\nit passes
in front of the descending \n\naorta and the esophagus.
The ____ bronchi are distributed to the lobes of the lungs.
secondary
right side secondary bronchi names
superior, middle, inferior
secondary bronchi on the left side
superior and inferior
The tertiary bronchi are features of the ___ bronchopulmonary \n\nsegments to which they are distributed.
10
The terminal bronchiole is the most distal \n\nbranch of the bronchial tree that is used solely for
conduction of \n\nair
the ____ bromnchiole is the beginning of the terminal ventilatory unit.
terminal
A ____ bronchiole is peripheral and distal to a terminal bronchiole
respiratory
A respiratory bronchiole is peripheral to a terminal bronchiole. It is \n\ncharacterized by the presence of
alveoli
____ the functional units of respiratory \n\nexchange
alveoli
there are approximately ____ alveoli in the normal lung
300 million
Alveolar ducts branch from _____; they consist of a \n\nseries of alveoli.
respiratory bronchioles
avelar sacs are a large circle of ____ forming a pocket of air
aveoli
type 1 avelolar epithelial cells are specialized for
gas exchange
type 2 avelolar epithelial cells produce
surficant
suficant produced by type II epithelial cells acts to
reduce surface tension at the blood air interface
___ rami are shorter when you are talking about intercostal nerve but the funcitonal components are the same
dorsal
from hilum of lungs, pulmonary arteries.. at secondary bronchi lobular arteries_ by tertiary bromnchi become segmental arteries which follow
tertiary bronchi into the susbtance of the lungs
Once at the levels of the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and \n\nalveolar saccules, the minute vessels participate in the formation of ____ that surround each alveolus.
capillary \n\nplexi
At the level of the alveoli, half of the capillary plexus surrounding each alveolus \n\ncontains
oxygenated blood.
