20
Q

Why is pain from the parietal pleura felt over the neck & shoulders?

A

Neck & shoulders are supplied by C3-4 while parietal pleura supplied by phrenic nerve (C3-5)Thus, the pain pathways from both pass very close to each other at the dorsal root.

21
Q

At which level does the trachea extend from?

A

C6-T4/5

22
Q

What lies anterior to the trachea?

A

Left brachiocephalic vein
Brachiocephalic artery
Left common carotid artery
Arch of aorta

23
Q

What lies posterior to the trachea?

A

Oesophagus
Left recurrent laryngeal nerve

24
Q

Trachea > main bronchi > ____ bronchi > ________ bronchi > conducting bronchioles > ________ bronchioles

A

Trachea > main bronchi > lobar bronchi > segmental bronchi > conducting bronchioles > terminal bronchioles

25
Q

Where is the triangle of safety?

A

Lateral edge of pectoralis major
Base of axilla 5th ICS
Lateral edge of latissimus dorsi

26
Q

Chest tube insertion to be done at the ________ border of the rib at the ____ ICS

A

Chest tube insertion to be done at the superior border of the rib at the 5th ICS

27
Q

Which ICS corresponds to the middle lobe of the right lung?

A

4th ICS

28
Q

What epithelium lines the mucosa of the bronchioles?

A

Columnar cilliated epithelium

29
Q

What is the function of the C-shaped cartilage rings of the trachea?

A

Maintains the mechanical stability of the trachea, keeping the trachea open and preventing its collapse under the negative pressures of the respiratory cycle

30
Q

What is the characteristic feature of the trachea?

A

C-shaped hyaline cartilage rings interconnected by fibroelastic tisue

31
Q

How many bronchopulmonary segments are in each lung?

A

10

32
Q

Which nerve provides parasympathetic & visceral afferent innervation to the lungs?

A

Vagus nerve

33
Q

Which nerve provides sympathetic innervation to the lungs?

A

Derived from the sympathetic trunk

34
Q

What is the clinical purpose of the pleural recesse?

A

Provides a potential space for the lungs to expand into during forced inspiration

35
Q

Elevation of ribs by intercostal muscles increases both the ________ & ________ diameter of the thoracic cavity

A

Elevation of ribs by intercostal muscles increases both the transverse/lateral & anteroposterior diameter of the thoracic cavity

36
Q

Pump-handle movement of the ribs during inspiration corresponds to an increase in which diameter?

A

Anteroposterior diameter of the thoracic cavity

37
Q

Bucket-handle movement of the ribs during inspiration corresponds to an increase in which diameter?

A

Transverse/lateral diameter of the thoracic cavity

38
Q

At what level does the trachea bifurcate?

A

T4/5

39
Q

Which part of the aorta are the bronchial arteries derived from?

A

Descending aorta

40
Q

Where does the right bronchial vein drain into?

A

Azygous vein

41
Q

Where does the left bronchial vein drain into?

A

Accessory hemiazygos vein

42
Q

The lungs meet the midaxillary line at the ____ costal cartilage

A

The lungs meet the midaxillary line at the 8th costal cartilage

43
Q

The lungs meet the paravertebral line at the ____ costal cartilage

A

The lungs meet the paravertebral line at the 10th costal cartilage

44
Q

The lungs meet the midclavicular line at the ____ costal cartilage

A

The lungs meet the midclavicular line at the 6th costal cartilage

45
Q

Do the bronchioles contain cartilage?

A

No
Bronchioles have more smooth muscle and no cartilage
