36
Q

What do the posterior and anterior intercostals arteries supply?

A

intercostal muscles and overlying skin, parietal pleura

37
Q

What does the internal thoracic artery supply?

A

By way of anterior intercostal arteries to intercostal spaces 1-6 and musculophrenic arteries to intercostal spaces 7-9

38
Q

What does the subcostal artery supply?

A

muscles of anterolateral abdominal wall and overlying skin

39
Q

How many lobes does the right lung have?

A

3

40
Q

How many lobes does the left lung have?

A

2

41
Q

While both right and left lungs have oblique fissures, the right lung also has the ___ fissure.

A

horizontal

42
Q

Is the thoracic duct located in the right or left lung?

A

superior lobe of the left lung

43
Q

What are the two nerves that innervate the lungs?

A

vagus and phrenic nerves

44
Q

In regards to blood supply to the lungs, where do the left bronchial arteries come from?

A

aorta

45
Q

In regards to blood supply to the lungs, where do the right bronchial arteries come from?

A

intercostal arteries, aorta, or left bronchial arteries

46
Q

What are the two veins in the lungs?

A

bronchial veins, pulmonary veins

47
Q

Where do the bronchial veins drain into?

A

azygos system

right: azygos vein
left: accessory hemiazygos vein or intercostal vein

48
Q

In regards to innervation of the lungs, what are the two sources of sympathetics?

A

postganglionic sympathetic pathway via the right and left pulmonary plexuses

49
Q

In regards to innervation of the lungs, what is the source of parasympathetics?

A

vagus nerve

50
Q

Describe what happens when an individual has a collapsed lung

A

Air infiltrating the pleural cavity (pneumothorax) can break surface tension between the visceral and parietal pleura. When this happens, the elastic lung tissue will recoil (collapse) leaving air filled space within the pleural cavity that prevents expansion of lung during inspiration

51
Q

Describe what happens when an individual has a hemothorax, hydrothorax, and chylothorax

A

Other substances such as blood (hemothorax) from a penetrating wound, serous fluid (hydrothorax), or lymph (chylothorax) that infiltrated the pleural cavity may also cause lung to collapse.

52
Q

What is pleuritis (pleurisy)?

A

inflammation of the pleura, may cause “scraping sounds” during auscultation, and can cause sharp stabbing pain

53
Q

What is a pulmonary embolism?

A

obstruction of pulmonary artery by blood clot, fat globule, or air bubble; passes from vein into right side of heart via vena cava and then travels through heart and into pulmonary artery, obstructing blood flow

54
Q

What is a common cause of PE?

A

Deep vein thrombosis

55
Q

What is bronchogenic carcinoma?

A

common type of lung cancer arising from bronchial epithelium, smoking is a major cause, highly metastatic due to association of lymphatics in bronchial tissue, typically metastasizes to brain and cranium

56
Q

What is malignant mesothelioma?

A

rarer type of lung cancer affecting pleura caused by exposure to asbestos; can affect other internal organs

57
Q

What is pulmonary tuberculosis (TB)?

A

bacterial infection of the lungs; can spread to other organs; contagion spread through the air through droplets from an infected individual coughing, sneezing, or talking; 1/3 of the world’s population is currently infected but only 5-10% become sick or infectious
