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
Q

R. primary bronchi

A

Vertical, shorter, wider

26
Q

L. primary bronchi

A

Horizontal, longer, thinner

27
Q

Secondary bronchi

A

Supply the lobes of the lungs
Also lobar

28
Q

How many secondary bronchi for each lung

A

R= 3
L= 2

29
Q

Tertiary bronchi

A

Supplies bronchopulmonary segments

30
Q

Bronchopulmonary segments

A

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
Q

Hilum of the lung

A

Where vasculature goes in and out, medial to each lung, where the primary bronchus starts

32
Q

Types of blood supply to the lungs

A

Pulm. arteries and veins for gas exchange
Bronchial arteries and veins to supply airways with blood, where ventilation occurs

33
Q

Sympathetic innervation to the lungs

A

Bronchodilation
T1-T4
Cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves

34
Q

Cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves

A

Symp. innervation to the heart

35
Q

Parasympathetic innervation to the lungs

A

Bronchoconstriction and gland secretion
Medulla and vagus nerve

36
Q

Volume and pressure relationship

A

Increase in volume = decrease pressure
Decrease volume = increase pressure

37
Q

Inspiration - diaphragm

A

Contracts and is pulled taught and downward to increase volume and decrease pressure

38
Q

Negative pressure

A

When volume increases, decreases P relative to outside. This pressure change sucks air in

39
Q

Expiration - diaphragm

A

Relaxes and parachutes upward to decrease volume and increase pressure, pushes air out

40
Q

Alveoi

A

Where gas exchange occurs

41
Q

Cartilage in lungs

A

Keeps open so don’t collapse

42
Q

Elastic tissue in lungs

A

The collapsing force to help expel air

43
Q

Anatomic dead space

A

No respiration occurring, anything above the alveoli sacs

44
Q

Functional unit of respiratory system

A

Alveoli sacs

45
Q

Phrenic muscle type

A

Voluntary smooth muscle

46
Q

Lung pain

A

Parietal pleura on mediastinal and diaphragm has phrenic innervation to pain and sensation
