Patho Respiratory-S3 Flashcards
Movement of air into and out of the lungs?
Ventilation
Movement of gases between air spaces in the lungs and the bloodstream?
Diffusion
Movement of blood into and out of the capillary beds of the lungs to body organs and tissues?
Perfusion
Pulmonary system does what two things?
Ventilation and Diffusion
Cardiovascular system does what?
Perfusion
What separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities?
Diaphragm
Epiglottic, thyroid, cricoid cartilages?
Unpaired
Artyenoids, corniculates, cuneiform cartilages?
Paired
What type nerves supply the larynx?
Superior and inferior(recurrent) laryngeal nerves
Which nerve divides into external and internal branches?
Superior
Which nerve divides into left and right?
Inferior(recurrent)
Which nerve segment does inferior constrictor muscles of the pharynx and cricothyroid muscles. Lengthens or increases tension and damage leads to hoarseness?
External segment
Which nerve enters the larynx and provides sensation to epiglottis down to vocal cords. Damage leads to difficulty phonating and full paralysis?
Internal segment
This nerve descends with the vagus nerve and loops around the arch of the aorta?
Left nerve
This nerve travels with the vagus to subclavian artery and loops back up to the neck?
Right nerve
Blood supply to the larynx is from what?
Superior and inferior thyroid artery
This bronchus takes off at 25 degrees from trachea
Divides into 3 lobar bronchi
2-2.5 cm from the carina.
Right Bronchus
Most common
This bronchus takes at 45 degrees from trachea
Divides into 2 lobar bronchi
mainstem is 4cm
Left Bronchus
This is the space between the lungs, containing the heart, great vessels and esophagus?
Mediastinum
The conducting airways which move air in and out contain?
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Larynx
Trachea
Bronchi
Terminal bronchioles
What connects the larynx to the bronchi?
Trachea
This is the ridge where the trachea divides into the right left bronchi?
Carina
This is where the right and left bronchi enter the lungs, along with blood and lymph vessels?
Hila
These cells produce mucus?
Goblet cells,
1L produced daily
These hairlike structures help propel foreign material upwards?
Cilia
The first generation of the lung lobes is called?
Mainstem
The third generation of the lung is the?
Segmental bronchi
These are the last structure perfused by the bronchial circulation and the end of the conducting airways?
Terminal bronchioles
16
Terminal bronchioles lead to ____ that are perfused by pulmonary circulation?
Respiratory bronchioles
First site of gas exchange begins where?
Respiratory bronchioles
What comes after the respiratory bronchioles?
Alveolar ducts
Alveolar sacs
The gas exchange airways are?
Respiratory bronchioles
Alveolar Ducts
Alveoli (Acinus)
Primary gas exchange units are?
Alveoli (acinus)
These are the mean of collateral ventilation, equalize pressure and prevent lung collapse?
Pores of Kohn
Type I alveolar cells
Structure
Type II alveolar cells
Surfactant production, prevent lung collapse, contain macrophages
2 primary functions of respiratory airways and alveolar membrane?
- Transport of respiratory gases
- Production of a wide variety of local and humoral substances.
Conducting zone contains what?
The nose to the terminal bronchioles
If your patient cannot exceed dead space you are ventilating but not__?
Respirating
Gases in non-respiratory airways?
Anatomic deadspace
Non-perfused alveoli is what deadspace?
Approx: 2 mL/kg
Alveolar deadspace
The respiratory zone is comprised of ?
Respiratory bronchioles
Alveolar ducts
Sacs
Alveoli
