22
Q

What is the purpose of the c-rings in the trachea?

A

Protection and to prevent collapse

23
Q

What muscle is found in the posterior aspect of the trachea?

A

Trachealis muscle

24
Q

What’s the difference between a pneumothorax and atelectasis?

A

Pneumothorax occurs when there is air in the pleural cavity and the chest cavity fills with air
Atelectasis occurs when part or the whole lung collapses

25
Q

Each lung is surrounded my a ______ membrane

A

Pleural

26
Q

Place the following in order of largest to smallest on the bronchial tree
Respiratory bronchiole, secondary bronchi, terminal bronchi, alveolar duct, primary bronchi, tertiary bronchi

A

Primary b., secondary b., tertiary b., respiratory bronchiole, terminal bronchiole, alveolar duct

27
Q

Why does the left lung only have 2 lobes while the right lung has 3? And what are the lobes on each lung?

A

The left lung has to make room for the heart to sit. The left has a superior and inferior lobe while the right has a superior, middle, and inferior lobe

28
