Pulmonary Anatomy PPT I Flashcards
First PPT of Pulmonary Anatomy
In which bronchial level does gas exchange occur?
Level 17
What percentage of the adult complement of alveoli does a newborn’s lung have?
6-15%
At what age is full complement of alveoli is develop?
about 2 years after birth
Complement alveoli microvascular development continues between what age?
2-5 years after birth
The nasal cavity lateral wall have projections called?
Conchae
Conchae Functions
- Increase surface area
- Increase turbulance within the nasal cavity
The nasal cavity is separated from the oral cavity by:
The palate
Palate is further divide to:
- Anterior hard palate (bone)
- Posterior soft palate (muscle)
The Pharynx?
Muscular passage from the nasal cavity to the larynx
Three regions of the Pharynx:
- Nasopharynx (superior region behind the nasal cavity)
- Oropharynx ( middle region behind mouth)
- Laryngopharynx ( inferior region attached to larynx)
The oropharynx and Laryngopharynx are comomon passage for:
Air and Food
Tonsils of the Pharynx
- Pharyngeal tonsil (adenoids) in the nasopharynx
- Palatine tonsils in the oropharynx
- Lingual tonsils at the base of the tongue
The lungs:
- Occupy most the thoracic cavity
- Apex is near the clavicle (superior portion)
- Each lung is divided into lobes by fissures
How many lobes are in the Right and Left lung?
- Right lung 3 lobes
- Left lung 2 lobes
Covering of the Lungs:
- Pulmonary (visceral) pleura covers the lung surface
- Parietal pleura lines the walls of the thoracic cavity
- Pleural fluid fills the area between layers of pleura to allow gliding
Respiratory Tree Divisions:
- Primary bronchi
- Secondary bronchi
- Tertiary bronchi
- Bronchioli
- Terminal bronchioli
How many division are in the Airway?
24 divisions
How many bronchioles division are in the Airway?
1-23 divisions
Muscles involved in Inspiration:
- Diaphragm
- External intercostals
- Sternocleidomastoid
- Scalenes
- Pectoralis minor
- Serratus posterior superior
- Erector spinae
Muscles involved in Quiet breathing?
- Diaphragm
- External Intercostals
Muscles involved in Forced Inspiration:
- Sternoclediomastoid
- Scalenes
- Pectoralis minor
- Serratus posterior superior
- Erector spinae
Muscles involved in Forced Expiration:
- Internal Intercostals
- Abdominal muscles
- Transversuss thoracis
- Serratus posterior inferior
During Inspiration:
- Diaphragm and Intercostal muscle contract
- Thoracic cavity increases
- External air is pulled into the lungs
During full Inspiration the diaphragm moves:
inferiorly during contraction
During Expiration the diapragm moves:
Superiorly as it relaxes
Explain Expiration cycle:
- Passive process dependent up on natural lung elasticity
- Air is pushed out the lungs
- Forced expiration occur
Normal pressure within the pleural space is always:
Negative ( intrapleural pressure)
Differences in lung and pleural space pressures keep lungs from:
Collapsing
What is the relationship between the pleural sac and the lung?
Respiratory system
Dalton’s Law
- The total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressure of the individual gases
Gases, singly or in a mixture, move from areas of:
Higher pressure to areas of lower concentration
Boyle’s Law
If the volume of a container of gas changes, the pressure of the gas will change in an inverse manner
Partial pressure gas formula
Pgas = Patm x % of gas in atmosphere
Nitrogen % in Air
78%
Oxygen % in Air
21%
CO2 % in Air
0.033%
Nitrogen Pgas in dry 25 deg C at 760 mmHg
593 mmHg
Oxygen Pgas in dry 25 deg C at 760 mmHg
160 mmHg
CO2 Pgas in dry 25 deg C at 760 mmHg
0.25 mmHg
Water vapor Pgas in dry 25 deg C at 760 mmHg
0 mmHg
Mention the four lung volumes:
- Tidal volume (TV)
- Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
- Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
- Residual volume (RV)
Lung capacities components:
- FRC
- Vital capacity
- Total lung capacity
- Inspiratory capacity
FRC is composed of:
ERV + RV
Vital capacity is composed of:
IRV + TV + ERV
Total lung capacity is made of:
TV + IRV + ERV + RV
