Q

Q

The thoracic inlet is also called what?

A

operculum

32
Q

Cervical pleura is also called what

A

cupola

33
Q

What are suprapleural membranes

A

the endothoracic fascia extending across the thoracic inlet above the cervical pleura forms these membranes

34
Q

When you inspire, your diaphragm moves in what direction?

A

more inferiorly

35
Q

When you expire, your diaphragm moves in what direction?

A

more superiorly

36
Q

How do visceral and parietal layers stayed attached to one another?

A

through capillary action; negative pressure keeps the lung stuck but slippery to the back of the thoracic wall

37
Q

What happens when the thoracic muscles cause the rib cage to elevate?

A

thoracic diameter is expanded when you inhale and it sucks the lung with it; thoracic diameter is reduced when you exhale which squeezes air out of the lungs

38
Q

What is a pneumothorax?

A

allowing air into the pleural cavity, separating the two layers of pleura and resulting in a collapsed lung
-can caused by a knife wound

39
Q

How does a pneumothorax occur?

A

visceral or parietal pleura is punctured (either by a stab wound or spontaneous rupture by emphysema in the visceral pleura), the elastic recoil of the tracheobronchial trees sucks air into the pleural cavity (sac), he two pleural surfaces separate and the lung “collapses”

-The tear/puncture must be closed to re-establish
negative pressure

40
Q

How many lobes of the right lung?

A

3

41
Q

How many lobes of the left lung?

A

2

42
Q

What are the lobes of the right lung

A

superior, middle, inferior

43
Q

What are the lobes of the left lung

A

superior and inferior lobes

44
Q

Horizontal fissure of the right lung is located where?

A

Between the superior and middle lobes

45
Q

Oblique fissure of the right lung is located where

A

Between the middle and inferior lobes

46
Q

Oblique fissure of the left lung is located where

A

Between the superior and inferior lobes

47
Q

What is the apex of lungs?

A

located at the top of the superior lobes

48
Q

Where is the cardiac notch located?

A

in the superior lobe of the left lung, place where it associates with the heart

49
Q

Where is the lingula located?

A

bottom portion of the superior lobe of the left lung, below the cardiac notch

50
Q

During inspiration, what direction do the lungs move?

A

they move in medially towards one another and also inferiorly because they expand during inspiration

51
Q

What is the hilum of the lung?

A

the root of the lung; what connects your lungs to their supporting structures and where pulmonary vessels enter and exit your lungs

52
Q

The right lung has what impressions on its medial surface?

A
  • impression of right subclavian a.

- esophageal impression

53
Q

The left lung has what impressions on its medial surface?

A
  • aortic impression

- cardiac impression

54
Q

The pleural recesses accept what?

A

the sharp inferior and anterior borders of the lungs during inspiration; Fluid may also accumulate in these spaces and knowledge of their extent is important for its aspiration

55
Q

What structures are found in the hilum?

A

Pulmonary vv., pulmonary aa., bronchi, and broncho-

pulmonary lymph nodes

56
Q

Bronchial aa. supply what

A

oxygen-laden blood to the lung tissue, as branches directly off the aorta

57
Q

Bronchial vv. drain what?

A

carbon dioxide-laden blood from the lung tissue into the azygous system

58
Q

Pulmonary aa. are located where?

A

above the bronchi except for the secondary bronchus to the right upper lobe

59
Q

Pulmonary aa. follow what?

A

follow the bronchi all the way to the level of their termination as alveoli

60
Q

The alveoli are drained by what?

A

intersegmental pulmonary vv. which diverge from the bronchi

61
Q

Pathway of the pulmonary vv.

A

extend through the intersegmental connective tissue septa. They eventually coalesce and rejoin the tracheo-bronchial tree at the level of the tertiary
bronchi.

62
Q

The pulmonary vv. are often used as guidelines for what?

A

surgical resection of the broncho-pulmonary segment

63
Q

What vertebral level does the trachea bifurcate?

A

at the sternal angle, T4/T5- bifurcates into two main bronchi

64
Q

The right primary bronchus is ____, which is the primary reason that most inhaled objects end up in this bronchus

A

short

65
Q

The left main bronchus is ____ than the right and more ____, leaving the trachea at a distinct angle

A

longer; horizontal

66
Q

What is a BPS?

A

Bronchopulmonary segment

67
Q

a BPS is what

A

smallest resectable portion of the lung and is supplied by a tertiary bronchus

68
Q

Each lung has how many BPS’s?

A

10

69
Q

Why is the location of the BPS’s important?

A

important with reference to positioning the body for draining regions of the lung by percussion (postural drainage)

70
Q

Lung cancer incidence places importance on ____ ____

A

lymphatic drainage

71
Q

A superficial lymphatic plexus lies where?

A

just under the visceral pleura

72
Q

A deep lymphatic plexus lies where?

A

It follows the bronchial tree

73
Q

Where do the two lymphatic plexuses meet?

A

meet at the hilum of the lung where they drain into the bronchopulmonary group of nodes at the root of the lung

74
Q

Where does the lymph go after going through the root of the lung?

A

passes through the tracheobronchial and paratracheal nodes and eventually into the venous system via the thoracic or right lymphatic ducts that enter the
subclavian vv

75
Q

What is the carina?

A

cartilaginous septum at the bifurcation of the trachea
