Lungs Flashcards
lobes in right lung and left lung
3 and 2
region where the lung is connected to the trachea and the heart
root of the lung
region of the lung where bronchi and pulmonary vessels enter
hilum of the lung
what does the right main bronchus seperate into
superior lobar bronchus
middle lobar bronchus and
inferior lobar broncus
right vs left main bronchus
right : shorter wider and more vertical
left: narrower, longer and more horizontal
what doe shte left main bronchus seperate into
superior and infoerior lobar bonchus
lobes of the lungs and the fissures that seperate them
the right lung has 3 lobes:
the superior and middle lobe are seperated by the horizontal fissure and the middle and inferior lobe are speerated by the oblique fissure
the left lung has 2 lobes
superior and inferior seperated by the oblique fissure
what bronchi ar the lobes of the lungs supplied with
lobar (secondary) bronchi
what bronchi are the bronchopulmonary segments supplied with
segmental tertiary bronchi
what does each bronchopulmoanry segment have:
-surrounded by connective tissue
- branch of the pulomnary artery accompanying the segmental bonchus
- veins that join into the pulmonary vein in the connective tissue
- lymphatic vessels and innveration
bronchioles
Less than 1mm diameter
Have no cartilage lining
Lined with a columnar ciliated epithelium
Possesses smooth muscle fibers
from trachea to alveoli
trachea
left and right main bronchi
lobar bronchi to 3R and 2L lobes
segmental bronchi to the bronchopulmonary segments
bronchioles
terminal bronchioles
respiratory bronchioles
alveolar ducts
alveolar sacs
alveoli
eptihelium of aleavoli
simple squamous
types of alveolar cells
type 1 pneumocytes
type 2 pneumocytes
macrophage sor dust cells
type 1 pneumocytes
squamous epithelial cells, form lining of 90% alveolar surface
