66
Q

Describe the diagnosis of H.somni

A

lobular - segmental - med- sm bronchi

88
Q

T/F cartilage support decreases as you get more divisions of bronchus?

A

89
Q

What happens with blood supply and venous drainages in the lungs?

90
Q

Where is there no catidge of the trachea pathway?

A

The terminal bronchioles

91
Q

What is a bronchgram and what can it help identify?

A

A bronchogram uses a special substance called contrast to make the bronchi (the airways in the lungs) visible on an x-ray or other imaging device. A bronchogram can help diagnose and monitor various lung conditions, such as infections, tumors, or narrowing of the airways.

92
Q
