55
Q

How do you lift epiglottis during laryngoscopy?

A

Pressure on hyoepiglottic ligament

56
Q

What happens during swallowing

A
  • Epiglottis covers glottis to protect airway
  • Larynx raised upward via muscle contraction
  • Epiglottis pressed downward by base of tongue
57
Q

False Vocal Cords

A

Upper folds that close during swallow

58
Q

True Vocal Cords

A

Mobile elastic fibers that make sound and has vocal ligament within.

59
Q

Direct Laryngoscopy (DL) Grades of VIew

A

Grade 2: Partial view of vocal cords, arytenoid and corniculate cartilages
Grade 3: Only epiglottis
Grade 4: Only soft palate

60
Q

How is sound produced?

A

Air forced b/t closed cords and causes vibration. Vibration formed into words by pharynx/oral cavity, tongue, lips

61
Q

How is vocal pitch modified?

A

Vocal cord tension. More tension = higher pitch. Less tension = lower pitch.

62
Q

How is vocal volumed controlled?

A

Force of air passing b/t vocal cords. Stronger blast cause VC to vibrate more –> louder sounds

63

A

Complete signet-shaped cartilage ring below larynx and thyroid cartilage (Adam’s apple) and b/t Cricothyroid Membrane and Trachea. Narrowest part of airway in children < 8yrs., cone-shaped narrowing inferiorly

64
Q

Sellick Maneuver

A

Pressure on cricoid applied posteriorly closes to Esophagus

65
Q

Why is Sellick’s Maneuver used?

A

Prevent gastric regurg, aligns glottic opening during intubation and prevents pushing air into stomach

66
Q

Trachea

A

Flexible cylinder supported by 20-25 C-shaped cartilages that extends from C6-T5.

72
Q

What filters air and moves particles upward to pharynx on mucous carpet?

73
Q

Functions of Bronchial Tree

A

distributes air to alveoli, warm/humidify air, filter and move particles from lungs

74
Q

Bronchial Divisions

A

Primary, secondary, lobar, segmental bronchi branching to bronchopulmonary segments

75
Q

What do small bronchopulmonary segments divide into?

A

Bronchial lobules and separate into terminal bronchioles

77
Q

What is an acinus

A

Site of gas exchange that its structures include respiratory bronchiole, alveolar ducts/sacs, and alveoli

78
Q

How does gas exchange b/t airspace and pulmonary capillaries happen?

A

Simple diffusion

79
Q

Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium (PS-CC) - Location and Function

A

Found from Larynx to Bronchi. Moves mucous blanket upward, removing trapped particles with cilia beating 1000-1500 cycles/min

80
Q

What disables the PS-CC

81
Q

Function of Goblet Cells

A

Makes mucous blanket to trap particles, prevent airway drying and moistens air. Increases with injury/infection

82
Q

Clara Cells

A

located in smaller bronchiole where there are no goblet cells. Makes watery, protein material that combines with surfactant and mucus to help clean small airways and reduces bronchiole surface tension

83
Q

Types of Cells of Alveolar Wall

A
  • Type I Pneumocyte
  • Type II Pneumocyte
  • Endothelial Capillaries
  • Macophages - help clean
  • Septal Cells (fibroblasts) - maintains connective lung tissue
  • Mast Cells - histamines
84
Q

Type I Pneumocyte

A

Squamous epithelial cell, covering 95% of alveolar wall and increases surface area. Very thin (<0.2 µm) for gas exchange. Can be injured; can’t heal.

85
Q

What cell controls fluid movement b/t interstitium and air space

A

PC I - Type I Pneumocyte

86
Q

Type II Pneumocyte

A

Cuboidal, mitotic, repairs and regenerates PC I, and secretes Surfactant.

87
Q

How long does it take for PC II to mature

A

24 Weeks gestation

88
Q

What is surfactant?

A

Mix of proteins, phospholipids and ions. Mixes with water to decrease surface tension to reduce force needed to inflate alveoli. Prevents alveolar collapse during expiration.

89
Q

Where does gas exchange first occur?

A

Respiratory bronchiole
