aortic arch thoracic aorta esophagus in midline heart impression lingula
Visceral Pleura
inner lining on lung, smooth slippery surface to freely move on the parietal pleura
Parietal Pleura
outer layer, adjacent to thoracic wall cervical part costal part diaphragmatic part mediastinal
Lung Recesses
site of fluid accumulation
costodiaphragmatic
costomediastinal
Lung Root
pulmonary arteries pulmonary veins bronchi hilum pleura covering
hilum
passageway of doorway
includes: pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, primary bronchus
Pulmonary Ligament
extension of pleura covering, allows for expansion and keeps everything together
Right Lung Root
pulmonary artery are anterior to primary bronchu
Left Lung Root
pulmonary artery are superior
Trachea
rings
carina– internal feature, at point of main bifurcation
bronchi
right primary (larger) –more vertical
left primary
secondary bronchi– each will serve a respective lobe
tertiary
bronchopulmonary segments, 10 different segments
