Q

what exits the lungs through the pulmonary veins?

A

oxygenated blood

19
Q

what supports the primary bronchii?

A

cartilage

20
Q

where are the pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins and primary bronchii in relation to each other in the hilum?

A

arteries lie superiorly, veins inferiorly, bronchi posteriorly

21
Q

what is the hilum of the lung?

A

depression on medial surface where structures forming the root enter the mediastinal surface of the lungs

22
Q

what is the pulmonary ligament?

A

a double layer of pleura inferior to the root

23
Q

what is the pulmonary ligaments function?

A

to accommodate the superior-inferior translation of the lung root during breathing

24
Q

what separates the lobes of the lungs?

A

connective tissue

25
Q

what do bronchial arteries supply?

A

the lung tissue and visceral pleura

26
Q

what supplies the parietal pleura?

A

thoracic wall arteries

27
Q

do the bronchial arteries participate in gas exchange?

A

no

28
Q

what percent of blood in the lungs is in the pulmonary circuit?

A

99%

29
Q

what percent of blood in the lungs is in the bronchial circuit?

A

1%

30
Q

what may the two left bronchial arteries and single right bronchial arteries arise from?

A

the posterior intercostal arteries

31
Q

what do the bronchial veins drain the lungs of?

A

deoxygenated blood

32
Q

where do the bronchial veins drain from?

A

the larger bronchi, visceral pleura and area of the lung near the hilum

33
Q

what does the larynx turn into?

A

primary bronchi

34
Q

what is a carina?

A

cartilage where the trachea separates into the bronchi

35
Q

at what standing level of the spine is the carina?

A

T4/T5

36
Q

how many C-shaped cartilage rings come before the carina?

A

16 - 20

37
Q

what kind of cartilage are the cartilage rings?

A

hyaline

38
Q

what is the purpose of the cartilaginous rings on the trachea?

A

prevents collapse

39
Q

what kind of muscle is the trachealis?

A

smooth

40
Q

what is the trachealis muscles function?

A

decreases diameter

41
Q

what is each 2˚ bronchi associated with?

A

each lobe of the lungs

42
Q

what is each of the 3˚ bronchi associated with?

A

lobe segments

43
Q

what is the brief clinical importance of the bronchopulmonary segments?

A

can prevent spread of disease in lungs if other segments are still functioning and have their own bronchi
