Lower Respi Flashcards
commencement of trachea
cricoid cartilage at level of C6
termination of trachea
carina
carina divides into right and left principal bronchus at what level
sternal angle (T3-4)
how many U shaped cartilaginous rings in trachea
15-20
cartilages in trachea are of what kinds
hyaline
the trachea is a _______ tube
firboelastic
the posterior free ends of the trachea is connected by
trachealis muscles
where can the trachea be palpated
root of neck, midline in suprasternal notch
length of the trachea
4.5 inch (11.25cm)
diameter of trachea
1 in (2.5cm)
located anterior to the trachea
skin fascia isthmus (2nd to 4th ring) inferior thyroid vein jugular arch thyroidea ima artery sternothyroid sternohyoid muscles
located posterior to the trachea
right and left recurrent laryngeal nerves
esophagus
located lateral to trachea
lobes of thyroid
carotid sheath and contents
anterior to the superior mediastinum of the thorax
sternum thymus left brachiocephalic vein origins of the brachipcephalic and left common carotid arteries arch of aorta
posterior the superior mediastinum of the thorax
esophagus
left recurrent laryngeal nerve
to right side of superior mediastinum
azygos vein
right vagus nerve
pleura
to the left side of the superior mediastinum
arch of the aorta
left common carotid
left subclav art
pleura
nerve supply of the trachea
sensory (vagus, reccurent)
sympathetic nerves
blood supply of trachea
inferior thyroid art (upper 2/3) bronchial artery (lower 1/3)
lymph drainage of trachea
pretracheal and paratracheal lymph nodes
deep cervical nodes
2 parts of th pleura
parietal
visceral
2 layers of the pleura become continuous with one via
cuff of pleura
surrounds strucutres entering and leaving the lung at the hilum
cuff of pleura
separates visceral and parietal pleura, for minimum friction
pleural cavity
parietal pleura according to region
cervical
costal
diaphragmatic (lower 8 10 12)
mediastinal
suprapleural membrane aka
Sibson’s fascia
cervical pleura reaches until
1-1.5 inches above medial third of clavicle
lines the under surface of the suprapleural membrane
cervical pleura
lines inner surface of the ribs, costal cartialges, ICS, back fos ternum and sides of vertebral body
costal pleura
cover the thoracic surface of the doaphragm
diaphragmatic pleura
itsura ng costal at diaohragmatic pleura during quiet respi
side by side
itsura ng costal at diaphragmatic pleura during deep inspi
separate
covers and forms the lateral boudnary of mediastinum
mediastinal pleura
the mediastinal plerua is reflected as a cuff aroudn the vessels and bronchi where
lung hilum
pleura sensitive to temp, pain, touch, pressure
parietal
pleura sensitive to stretch
visceral
nerve supply of the visceral pleura
autonomic supplt from pulmonary plexus
nerve supply to costal pleura
intercostal nerves
nerve supply to mediastinal pleura
phrenic
nerve supply to diaphragmatic pleura
phrenic enrve - domes
lower 6 intercostal -periphery
