true

90

what are the 2 divisions of pleural membrane in lungs

A

parietal

visceral pleura

91
Q

the lugns extend from where to where

and where do they lie

A

Extend from the diaphragm to just above the
clavicle
• Lie against the ribs anteriorly and posteriorl

92
Q

surface against the ribs

94
Q

what is the mediastinal surface

psoterior and medial

against the heart

95

mediastinal sruface

96
Q

pulm veins
pulm arteries

98
Q

which lobe has 2 fissures

A

right lung

99
Q

is the visceral pleura the outer or inner later

A

inner

100
Q

which pleura extentts past the lungs

A

pleiral

101
Q

why does the partietal pleura extend pass the lungs

A

to allow the lungs to expannd

102
Q

which lung is smaller and why

A

the left lung is 10% smaller than the right because the heart takes up stapce

103
Q

why is the right lung thicker, broader and shorter

A

to accomodate the liver which lies inferior to it

104
Q

what is the pleural cavity

A

Small space between visceral and parietal pleura which
contains a small amount of lubricating fluid secreted
by the membranes:

105
Q

what is the functionn of the pleural cavity

A

reduced friction between membranes

allows them to slide over one another

106
Q

the pleural cavity extends where

A

Extends below the base of the lung- from 6th costal cartilage
to 12th rib

107
Q

ttrue or false: there are not seperate cavities (plural cavity) for the right and elft lungs

A

false, there are seperate cavities

108
Q

why can there be inflammation of the pleura (pleuritis)

A

may cause pain due to friction between layers and if inflammation persists – excess fluid accumulates in pleural space

109
Q

true or false: the pleural cavity extrends further than the lungs

A

true

110
Q

each lung divides into different lobes by what

A

by fissures

111
Q

true or false: only the righht lung has an oblique fissure

A

false, both do

112
Q

in the left lung what does the oblique fissure seperate

A

seperates superior from inferior lobe

113
Q

in the right lung, whatt does the oblique fissure seperate

A

serperates the superior form linferior/inferior from middle

114
Q

what lung also has a horizontal fissure

A

right

115
Q

what does the horiztal fissure seperate

A

subdives the superior lobe froming the middle lobe

116
Q

each lobe receives its own BLANK

A

secondary bronchus

117
Q

R. primary bronchus gives rise to BLANK

A

3 secondary bronchi

118
Q

• L. primary bronchus gives rise to BLANK

A

2 secondary bronchi

119
Q

the secondary bronchi subdivide into blank

A

teriary bronchi

120
Q

what does each teriatry bronchi supply

A

a segment of lung tissue called a bronchopulmonary segment

121
Q

what does each bronchopulmonary segment contain

A

has small compartments called lubules

122
Q

lobules are wrapped in what

A

elastic connecttve tissue

123
Q

where does the respitpry system begin

A

lobules

124
Q

what do lobules cotnain

A

Contains a lymphatic vessel, an arteriole, a venule, and a branch from a terminal bronchiole

125
Q

what do terminal bronchioles subdivide into

A

microscopic branches called respiraoty bronchioles

126
Q

true or false: gas exhange begins in the tertiatry bronchus

A

false, in the respiratory bornnchioles

127
Q

bronchioles subdivide into several BLANKS

A

alveolar ducts

128
Q

from the trachae, the respiratory passages brach how many times

A

apprx 25

129
Q

what is around the alveolar ducts

A

numerous alveri and alveoli sacs

130
Q

what is an alveolar sac

A

2 or more alveoli that share a common opening

131
Q

what are the 2 alveolar epithelial cells found in the walls of the alveroli

A

type 1 and 2 alveoli cells

132
Q

what is the function of the type 1 alveoli cells

A

main site of gas exchange

133
Q

what is the function of type 2 alveoli cells

A

secrete alveolar fluid, keep surface between cells and air moist

134
Q

what is an alverolar macrophage

A

Wandering phagocytes that remove fine dust particles and other debris in
the alveolar spaces

135
Q

how does exhange of o2 and co2 happen

A

occurs by diffusion across alveolar and capilary walls (thru respiraoty membeane)

136
Q

A

very thin memebrane which allows rapid diffusion

137
Q

when you hear surfactant, what cell do you think of

A

type 2 alveolar cell

139
Q

bronchial arteries (branch off thoracic aortic) deliver what type of blood and where

A

141
Q

true or false : ALL blood returns to the heart through pulm veins

142
Q

what are the 3 basic stemps of bteathing

expiration

183
Q

medullary rhymeicty area consists of what neurons

184
Q

basic rhytm of breathing is dettermined by nerve impulses generated in what area

A

innspiratory area

185
Q

explain basic breathing rhym

A

􀀁 Inactive at the beginning of expiration

􀀁 Automatically activated 3 seconds after due to

190
Q

what is the major function of the pneumotaxic area

Major function is to help turn off inspiratory area before

lungs become too full of air

191
Q

impulses from the pneumotaxic area limit the duration of what

Nerve impulses from the hypothalamus and limbic system also

stimulate BLANK and what does that allow

A

respiration control \allowing emotional stimuli to alter

respiration

202
Q

explain chemical regulation of respiration

certain cehmical stim modulate how quickly and deeply we breathe

203

A

blood elvels of co2 and o2 and provide input to the respiratory center

204
Q

where are central chemorecepts located and what do they respond tto

in CSF

205

208

211
Q

what are baroraecpeors

A

stretch sensory receptos

212
Q

explain barorecpeors

A

Become stretched during over-inflation of the lungs and send nerve
impulses along the vagus nerve (CN X) to inspiration and apneustic areas

• Expiration begins and stretch receptors are no
longer stimulated

213
Q

what is the effect of execrise on the respiratory system

A
  • Increased rate of blood flow through the lungs
  • Increased pick-up of O2
  • Rate at which O2 diffuses from the alveolar air to the blood is increased

• Blood flows through a greater percentage of pulmonary capillaries providing a greater S.A. for diffusion of O2 into
the blood

• O2 consumption, CO2 production and ventilation increases
dramatically
