Opening
Trachea
Bifurcation of the trachea
Immediately following the bifurcation is the bronchial tree
start of the lower respiratory system
Bronchial Tree
Left and right primary bronchi Secondary bronchi Bronchioles Alveolar ducts Alveolar sacs Alveoli
Alveoli
Terminal structure of the respiratory system
Lungs
6 lobes
2 on the left
4 on the right
Left lung lobes
Left cranial
Left cauda
Right
Right cranial
Right middle
Right caudal
Accessory
Hilum of the lungs
The opening into the lungs where the blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, bronchi travel through
Pleural cavity: Pleura
Serous membranes of the lungs
2 membranes that form the pleural cavity
1. Visceral pleura
2. Parietal pleura
Visceral pleura
in contact with the lungs
Parietal pleura
on opposite external side of the visceral pleura
Muscles
3 muscles of respiration
Diaphragm
External intercostals
Internal intercostals
Diaphragm
normally sealed provides an air-tight environment 3 openings that let 3 tubes through 1. Aorta 2. Vena Cava 3. Esophagus
