Lung Pathology I Flashcards
aspiration
down right lung - straight bronchus
lying down
aspiration to left upper lobe
conducting vs. respiratory
respiratory - where alveoli gas exchange occurs
size of particles
less than 10 microns - alveolar damage
less than 5 microns - real bad damage to alveoli
bronchus
cartilage
AND submucosal glands
bronchiole
no cartilage
clara cells
in bronchioles
dome shaped cells with short microvilli
surfactant
type II pneumocytes
pores of kohn
intraalveolar macrophages
lobule
cluster of terminal bronchioles and all attached acini
acinus
resp bronchiole and all attached alveolar ducts and alveolar sacs
canals of lambert
openings between bronchi and alveoli
pulmonary hypoplasia
lungs don’t develop fully
-oligohydramnios - uterus squeeze fetus
TE fistula
most common - blind pouch
bloated belly - trachea connect to esophagus
blind pouch - can cause oligohydramnios during pregnancy
respiratory epithelium midline cyst in mediastinum or hilar location
bronchogenic congenital foregut cyst
