Q

Function of pleural scpace

A

Lubricates and decreases friction
Maintains fluid surface tension that keeps the lungs open
Hydrostatic pressure pulls the membranes together (glass + water analogy)

Q

Function of the parietal pressure

A

Keeps the lungs inflated
Negative pressure inside the lungs sucks air in from the higher pressure outside

Q

Trachea

A

Airway, contains cartilage to keep rigid and open

21
Q

Trachealis muscle

A

Dilate/constrict airways

22
Q

What keeps the trachea open

A

C-shaped cartilage rings

23
Q

Levels of bronchi

A

Primary, secondary, tertiary

24
Q

Primary bronchi

A

Main branch off the trachea to R and L lung

25
R. primary bronchi
Vertical, shorter, wider
26
L. primary bronchi
Horizontal, longer, thinner
27
Secondary bronchi
Supply the lobes of the lungs Also lobar
28
How many secondary bronchi for each lung
R= 3 L= 2
29
Tertiary bronchi
Supplies bronchopulmonary segments
30
Bronchopulmonary segments
Subdivisions of each lobe that is surrounded by its own connective tissue and gets its own bronchi and pulm. artery Can be completely resected
31
Hilum of the lung
Where vasculature goes in and out, medial to each lung, where the primary bronchus starts
32
Types of blood supply to the lungs
Pulm. arteries and veins for gas exchange Bronchial arteries and veins to supply airways with blood, where ventilation occurs
33
Sympathetic innervation to the lungs
Bronchodilation T1-T4 Cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves
34
Cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves
Symp. innervation to the heart
35
Parasympathetic innervation to the lungs
Bronchoconstriction and gland secretion Medulla and vagus nerve
36
Volume and pressure relationship
Increase in volume = decrease pressure Decrease volume = increase pressure
37
Inspiration - diaphragm
Contracts and is pulled taught and downward to increase volume and decrease pressure
38
Negative pressure
When volume increases, decreases P relative to outside. This pressure change sucks air in
39
Expiration - diaphragm
Relaxes and parachutes upward to decrease volume and increase pressure, pushes air out
40
Alveoi
Where gas exchange occurs
41
Cartilage in lungs
Keeps open so don't collapse
42
Elastic tissue in lungs
The collapsing force to help expel air
43
Anatomic dead space
No respiration occurring, anything above the alveoli sacs
44
Functional unit of respiratory system
Alveoli sacs
45
Phrenic muscle type
Voluntary smooth muscle
46
Lung pain
Parietal pleura on mediastinal and diaphragm has phrenic innervation to pain and sensation
