Q

What are the types of pleura involved with the lung? Explain location and give any subsectional names too.

A

Visceral pleura- directly attached to lung

Parietal pleura- forms from coelomic membrane. has subsections of mediastinal, cervical, costal, and diaphragmatic pleura depending on location. Is just deep to the endothoracic fascia. Other side is the pleural cavity.

Q

What do you look for to determine a pneumothorax?

A

Lung tissue markings. NOT scapula

25
Q

What is a closed pneumothorax?

A

air –> pleural cavity from LUNG

26
Q

What is a open pneumothorax?

A

air –> pleural cavity from hole in Thoracic Wall

ex) knife stab

27
Q
Describe the following:
Hemothorax
Pyothorax
Chylothorax
Hydrothorax
*Pleurisy*
A

Hemothorax- blood in pc

Pyothorax- pus in pc

Chylothorax- lymph/milky fluid from intestine (tear of thoracic duct) in pc

Hydrothorax- excessive serous fluid in pc

Pleurisy- inflammation of pleura. Visceral and Parietal RUB together. Walking on SNOW.

pc= pleural cavity

28
Q

What innervates the mediastinal pleura and medial diaphragmatic pleura?

A

Phrenic Nerve

** 3/4/5 keeps the diaphragm alive**

29
Q

What innervates costal pleura and lateral diaphragmatic pleura?

A

Intercostal nerves

30
Q

Explain why pleura pain is typically referred pain.

A

The innervation stems from the phrenic nerve originating in 3/4/5, so the pain is reffered to those dermatomes. For example, mediastinal pain may present in the shoulder

31
Q

What is the visceral pleura of the lung formed from embryologically

A

splanchnic mesoderm

32
Q

What is esophageal Atresia? What does it cause? What usually occurs with this

A

You have absence of normal lumen regarding the Esophagus. This will cause polyhydraminosis, where amniotic fluid cannot go to intestines in the fetus.

A Tracheoesophegeal Fistula (TEF) usually occurs where the esophagus attaces to the trachea. An inserted catheter will ball in the top portion and an Xray can show air pockets in the intestines from the fistula.

33
Q

Explain the lobes of the lungs.

A
Right lung has:
Sup lobe
Horizontal Fissure
Middle lobe
Oblique fissure
Inferior lobe

Left lung has:
Sup lobe
Oblique fissure
Inf lobe

34
Q

Where do the horizontal and oblique fissures meet?

A

MAL around 4th intercostal space

35
Q

Explain hilum vs root.

A

Hilum is the doorway while the root is the actual collection of structres that go in the lung via the hilum

36
Q

What is at the end of the cardiac notch? Where does it enter during respiration?

A

Lingula

Costomediastinal recess

37
Q

Bronchopulmonary segment contains? Which component can cause issues during surgery and why?

A
segmental bronchus, 
branch of pulmonary artery, 
branch of bronchial artery,
Pulmonary Vein
Lymphatic Vessel

You can remove a full segment (usually 10 segments per lung total) but the pulmonary vein risks being cut as it is in the border area between segments.

38
Q

Blood supply bronchial arteries

A

Left lung- 2 from aorta

Right lung- 1 posterior intercostal artery from 3rd intercostal space

39
Q

How do bronchial veins drain?

A

Left- hemiazygous and accessory hemiazygous

Right- Azygous

The azygous goes to the Sup. Vena Cava

40
Q

How do nerves get to the lungs? What are the types and their actions?

A

Pulmonary plexus that rides bronchi to lungs

Parasymp:
constrict respiratory pathway
Dilate blood vessels
Increase mucous

Symp:
Dilate respiratory path
Constrict blood vessels
decrease mucous

41
Q

Where does superficial lymph drain to in lungs?

A

bronchopulmonary nodes

42
Q

Where does deep lymph drain to in lungs?

A

pulmonary nodes–> bronchopulmonary nodes

43
Q

Intercostal arteries in the 8th intercostal space allow anastomoses between?

A

Aorta and musculophrenic arteries

44
Q

What does the phrenic nerve provide?

A

Motor innervation to diaphragm

sensory to mediastinal pleura, fibrous pericardium, central diaphragmatic pleura

45
Q

How does the phrenic nerve descend from the brachial plexus?

A

Ant to scalenus anterior

between mediastinal pleura and fibrous pericardium anterior to the root of lung

46
Q

What is fluid build up in the heart called?

What is the term for the pressure this fluid puts on the heart?

How is this resolved?

A

Pericardial Effusion

Cardiac Tamponade

Needle insertion into subxiphoid area or parasternal approach (5th intercostal space)

47
Q

Borders of fibrous pericardium

A

Right-

  • 2nd costal cartilage **ONLY one different from heart
  • 6th costal cartilage

Left-

  • 2nd intercostal space
  • 5th intercostal space
48
Q

What does the transverse pericardial sinus do?

A

Separates vein from arteries.

In the front are the pulmonary trunk and aorta

The back is the Sup Vena Cava

49
Q

Which membrane contains the phrenic nerve during development?

A

pleuropericardial membrane

50
Q

What makes up the diaphragm?

A

1) Septum transversum- Central tendon

2)Pleuroperitoneal membranes- fuse w/ septum
transversum and dorsal mesentary

3) Dorsal mesentary of esophagus- crura of diaphragm to
spine

4)Myoblasts somatic mesoderm- muscles

51
Q

What is the Foramen of Bochdalek?

what causes it?

A

abdominal organs go into pleural cavity through diaphragm

Pleuroperitoneal membrane doesn’t fuse (90% left side)

52
Q

Esophageal Hiatus hernia is?

A

herniation of stomach through esophageal hiatus of diaphragm

53
Q

What is a Foramen of Morgagni?

A
