65
Q

Pneumonia

  1. Sympathetics
  2. Parasympathetics
  3. Motor
A
  1. sympathetics = T2-7; increase tone will thicken secretions & dilate bronchiole dilation
  2. parasympathetics = OA, AA, C2 ; increase tone will thin secretions and constrict bronchioles
  3. Motor = c3-5 = phrenic nerve to diaphram
    1. irriation is due to decreased excurion and overuse
66

    2. Posterior
      1. Space in between TP of T3/4
      2. between the SP and tip of TP
  2. Lower lung
    1. Anterior = 4/5 ICS at sternocostal junction
    2. Posterior
      1. space in between TP of T4/5
      2. Between SP and tip of TP
