Q

how does boyle’s law relate to the lungs?

A
  • an increase in lung volume = a decrease in lung pressure = air moves in

Q

When the skeletal muscle is relaxed, the pharynx is ___, and when the skeletal muscle contracts, this assists with ____.

A

open
swallowing

27
Q

which part of the pharyngeal cavity exchanges small amounts of air with the auditory tube to equalize air pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere?

A

nasopharynx

28
Q

T or F: like the oropharynx, the laryngopharynx is a respiratory and digestive pathway.

A

true

29
Q

when is the epiglottis open vs closed?

A
  • open: during respiration
  • closed: during eating and drinking
30
Q

the larynx, also known as the voice box, connects the ____ with the ____.

A

laryngopharynx
trachea

31
Q

how long is the trachea? how many cartilaginous C’s does the trachea contain? where do they open?

A
  • 11cm
  • 16-20
  • open at posterior
32
Q

where does the trachea bifurcate? what does it become?

A
  • carina
  • right and left bronchi
33
Q

what does the trachealis muscle do? what is it lined with?

A
  • generally constricted but relaxes/expands trachea for greater oxygen intake
  • lined with submucosal glands to clean trachea
34
Q

why must the trachea have a rigid component?

A

to resist positive and negative changes in air pressure

35
Q

define gastroesophageal reflux

A

when stomach acid/contents go up the esophagus and may enter the upper respiratory passage

36
Q

define aspiration

A

entry of liquid or solid material into the lungs (lower respiratory system)

37
Q

what do the bronchi divide into? (5)

A
  • mainstem (primary) bronchi
  • secondary (lobar) bronchi
  • tertiary (segmental) bronchi
  • bronchioles
  • terminal (respiratory) bronchioles
38
Q

is there a difference in the angles and shapes of the two main bronchi? what kind of implications does this have?

A
  • right: vertical, shorter, wider (~20 degrees)
  • left: ~45 degrees
  • implications: right lung is more susceptible to aspiration
39
Q

T or F: the main bronchi contain complete rings of cartilage.

A

false – incomplete

40
Q

which structure marks the switch from conducting zone to respiratory zone?

A

terminal bronchioles

41
Q

what are the lungs separated from each other by? what is the benefit of them being separated?

A
  • mediastinum
  • benefit: trauma to one lung? other one will be safe
42
Q

which lungs is smaller and why? which lung is shorter and why?

A
  • left = smaller to allow space for heart
  • right = shorter to accommodate liver
43
Q

how many segments are in the right and left lungs? what are segments separated by?

A
  • right: 10
  • left: 8-9
  • separated by connective tissue
44
Q

what is the hilum?

A
  • depression on medial surface of each lung
  • where blood vessels, nerves etc enter/exit lungs
45
Q

how many lobes does each lung have? what are they separated by?

A
  • right: 3 lobes (upper, middle, lower) and separated by oblique and horizontal fissure
  • left: 2 lobes (upper, lower) and separated by oblique fissure
46
Q

what are alveolar sacs and alveoli surrounded by? what do they do?

A
  • surrounded by capillary beds
  • take in oxygen + give up CO2
47
Q

T or F: lungs contain skeletal muscle

A

false – changes in shape are passive (the result of linkage to and movements in other structures e.g., rib muscles, diaphragm muscle)

48
Q

what is the name of the outer membrane of the lungs? inner membrane? space between filled with pleural fluid?

A
  • parietal
  • visceral
  • pleural cavity
49
Q

what is the function of pleural fluid? (2)

A
  • keeps pleural layers together (surface tension)
  • lubrication to protect against constant friction
50
Q

what is emphysema characterized by? (2)

A
  1. absence of cilia = poor cleaning
  2. recombining of alveoli = poor oxygen exchange
51
Q

what is a tracheostomy?

A

articicial airway which keeps food separate from airway

52
Q

parts of sternum? (3)

A
  1. manubrium
  2. body
  3. xiphoid process
53
Q

what extends from the manubrium of the sternum?

A

clavicles

54
Q

diff bw true vs false vs floating ribs? how many of each?

A
  • 1-7 true: attached to costal cartilage in front + vertebrae in back
  • 8-10 false: attached to rib above in front + vertebrae in back
  • 11-12 floating: only attached vertebrae in back
55
Q

how many segments are in the vertebral column? what are they called?

A
  • ~33
  • C1-7
  • T1-12
  • L1-5
  • ~5 sacral
  • ~ 4 coccygeal
56
Q

what is the first cervical vertebra called? second?

A
  • atlas
  • axis
57
Q

how many facets do cervical vertebrae contain?

A

2 (superior articular facet)

58
Q

how many facets do thoracic vertebrae contain?

A
  • 2 superior costal
  • 2 inferior costal
  • 2 transverse costal
  • 2 superior articular
  • 2 inferior articular
59
Q

which vertebrae contain larger spinous processes, cervical or thoracic?

A

thoracic

60
Q

why is the vertebral foramen large in cervical vertebrae?

A

to make room for where the brain stem meets the spinal cord

61
Q

why do thoracic vertebrae have a large transverse process?

A

because they articulate with the ribs.

62
Q

the spinal cord travels thru the ___ foramen.

major arteries travel thru the ___ foramen.

A

vertebral
transverse

63
Q

which facets of the thoracic vertebrae do the ribs articulate with? (3)

A
  • superior portion of rib touches inferior costal
  • inferior portion of rib touches superior costal
