Respiratory Flashcards
anatomic dead space
any part of the RT that does not exchange gases
cartilage and goblet cells extend to
end of bronchi
ciliae and smooth muscle extend to
end of terminal bronchii
histology of respiratory broncholes
cuboidal, then simple sqaumaous to alveoli
purpose of alveloar macrophages
clear depris and participate in immune response
line most of alveolar surfaces
type 1 pneumocytes
extrete pulmonary surfacant
type II pneumocytes
cells that proliferate in lung damage
type II pneumocytes
collapsaing pressure calculation
P= 2xsurface tension/radius
most important protein in pulmonary surfacant
dipalmitolphosphaatodylcholine
beginning of surfacant production in utero
week 26 (fully mature at 35)
indicates fetal lung maturity
lectin to sphingmelin ratio of > 2.0
lung with 3 lobes
right (what would be the middle lobe in the left has the heart instead)
lung with lingula
left
where a peanut is going to go
lower portion of right
where the IVC passes diaphram
T8
where the eosophagus passes diaphram
