Module 2 Flashcards
Pectoral Girdle
Clavicles and Scapluae (Shoulder Blades)
Pelvic Girdle
Coxal (hip) bones and Vertebrae (Sacral and coccygeal)
12 ribs
- Most connect to ribs via cartilage
- Lowest two “float”
Scapulae
Should Blades
Vertebrae list
- 7 cervical (neck)
- 12 thoracic (chest)
- 5 lumbar
- 5 sacral
- 5 coccygeal
Respiratory System Components
Pulmonary Apparatus and Chest Wall
Pulmonary System Components
Lungs and (lower) airways
Chest Wall Components
- Rib Cage Wall
- Abdominal Wall
- Diaphragm
- Abdominal Content
Lower Airways
-Trachea
-Main stem bronchi
-Lobar Bronchi (to each lobe of the five lobes, 20+ generations of divisions)
-Alveoli (Where gas exchange occurs)
Describe Pleural Linkage
-Lungs covered by visceral pleura
-Inner chest wall connected by parietal pleura
-“Pleural Linkage” connects lungs to chest wall via a fluid
Rib Cage Wall
-Forms most of the thorax
-Surrounds the lungs (except at the bottom)
-Consists of thoracic vertebrae, ribs, costal cartilages, sternum, and pectoral girdle
Diaphragm
-Forms the floor of the thorax
-Means “fence between” (thorax and abdomen)
Abdominal Wall
-Consists of 15 vertebrae (lumbar, sacral, coccygeal), pelvic girdle, muscles, and connective tissue (abdominal aponeurosis and lumbodorsal fascia)
Abdominal Content
-Includes stomach, intestines, etc.
-Essentially the density of water
-Suspended from undersurface of diaphragm by suction force
Passive Force
-Natural recoil of muscles, cartilages, ligaments, and lung tissue
-Surface tension of the alveoli
-Pull of gravity
Active Force
-Rib cage wall muscles
-Diaphragm muscle
-Abdominal wall muscles
