Practical two Flashcards
alveoli
small sacs within the lungs
carina
a cartilaginous ridge separating the left and right main bronchi
cricoid cartilage
the only complete ring of cartilage around the trachea
two parts of the lung
left and right
right lung
3 lobes
-right superior
-right middle
-right inferior
left lung
2 lobes
-left superior
-left inferior
right stem bronchus
main branch off the trachea going to the right
left stem bronchus
main branch off the trachea going to the left
segmental bronchus
secondary, tertiary etc
come off main bronchi
thyroid cartilage
largest of the nine cartilages that make up the laryngeal skeleton
three layers of blood vessel (artery or vein)
tunica adventitia (externa)
tunica media
tunica intima
tunica adventitia
superficial outermost layer, mostly collagen
tunica media
generally smooth muscle, elastin, and collagen
tunica intima
deepest layer lining the lumen can be epithelium or endothelium based upon vessel type
basophil
bilobed nucleus, many darkpurple cytoplasmic granules
eosinophil
bilobes nucleus, dark pink cytoplasmic granules
lymphocyte
large spherical nucleus, thin margin of light blue cytoplasm
monocyte
bean-shaped nucleus, cytoplasm is faint blue
neutrophil
multilobes nucleus, pink and blue cytoplasmic granules
four functions of the lymphatic system
-transports excess interstitial fluid back to the bloodstream
-maintains homeostasis of somatic cells
-route of lipid absorption from the small intestine
-provides immunological defenses
