Powerpoint Flashcards
Brachiocephalic artery
First major branch of aortic arch , divides into the right common carotid artery and right subclavian artery
Left common carotid artery
Second branch of aortic arch ascends into the neck along the left side of trachea
Left subclavian artery
Third branch of the aortic arch, the left subclavian artery supplies left extremity . The left vertebral artery arises from left subclavian artery
Subclavian vein
Formed by axillary veins, drains the upper extremities
Brachiocephalic vein
Formed by the union of the jugular and subclavian veins
Azygos vein
Drains posterior thoracic wall and drains into the superior vena cava
Superior veins cava
Formed by union of the right and left brachiocephalic veins. Empties into the right atrium of the heart
Mediastinum
Midline region between the two lungs. Structures include the heart, great vessels, trachea, and esophagus
Hilum
Area of passage ways that blood vessels and airways enter and leave the lungs
Blood circulation through the heart
Venous or deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium of the heart by the superior and inferior vena cava.
From right atrium blood is forced down to the right ventricle through the tricuspid or atrioventricular valve
Blood exits the right ventricle through the pulmonary valve to pulmonary arteries then to the lungs
Oxygenated blood returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins to left atrium
From the left atrium, blood is forced into the left ventricle through the mitral valve
From left ventricle, arterial blood exits through the aorta and to the systemic circulation
High resolution of lungs your will see?
Separation of lobes
Lungs
Organs of respiration. Left and right
Right lung
Comprised of three lobes, superior , inferior ,middle
Left lung
Compromised two lobes, superior and inferior
Fissures
Small thin structures that separates lobes of lung
Mainstream bronchi
Arises at level of the carina where trachea divides
Secondary bronchi
Form where mainstem bronchi further divide into each lobe of the lung
Tertiary bronchi
Extensions of secondary bronchi that extend into lobes of the lung
Emphysema
Type of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. Limit gas exchange in the lungs . Traps free air in lungs known as blebs. Looks like bronchile tree is dilated
Pleural effusion
Accumulation of fluid between the layers of membrane that lines the lungs and chest cavity
Atelectasis
Incomplete expansion of lobules( clusters of aveoli) or lung segments may result in partial or complete lung collapse
_______ lesion of lung may be represent early metastatic process or primary lung cancer
Solitary
Which cancers metastasize to lungs usually?
Kidney,colon, breast, pancreas
See if tumor is vascular , what do you inject?
Inject contrast vascular
Lymphoma
Neoplastic malignancy of the lymphatic system characterized by gross enlargement of lymph nodes
Pneumothorax
Collection of air or gas in space surrounding lungs
Caused by trauma or spontaneous event
Pulmonary embolus
Obstruction of pulmonary artery or its branches by an embolus
