small animal thorax and diaphragm Flashcards
the trachea extends from the _______ of the larynx to the _______ in the thorax
cricoid cartilage
bifurcation
the tracheal ______ lies at the crest of the bifurcation
carnia
the open part of the C shaped hylanine cartilage is bridged by ______ muscle
trachealis
the cartilage rings of the trachea are united by ________
annular ligaments
what type of cartilage makes up the bronchi
hyaline
where does the bronchial tree begin
at the bifurcation of the trachea
the bronchial tree starts with the R+L principal bronchi and then each bronchus divides into _______ bronchi that then divisde into _______ bronchi
lobar
segmental
what makes bronchioles distinct from the bronchi
they lack hylaine cartilage
respiratory bronchioles give rise to alveolar _____ and ______ and pulmonary ______
ducts, sacs, pulmonary alveoli
what breeds are predisposed to tracheal collapse
middle aged toy breeds, yorkies, poms
Grade I, II and III tracheal collapse
Grade I:
lumen size reduced by 25%
Grade II: by 50%
Grade III: by 75%
medical management for grade I and II tracheal collapse
- weight loss
- harness not collars
- avoid respiratory irritants
- steroids, antiussives (cough suppressants), bronchiodilators, sedatives
the opening into the cranial part of the thoracic cavity
thoracic inlet
central compartment of the thoracic cavity
mediastinum
where is the cardiac notch
right lung
explain alveolar pattern
air within alveoli is replaced with a denser material which increases opacity
Lobar sign- sharp margin created when a lobe with increased opacity abuts a normally aerated lobe that has less opacity
airbronchograms
explain bronchial pattern
bronchial wall thickness is increased by cellular or fluid infiltration
Ring shadows
tram lines
interstitial patterns of the lung can be ______ or _______
structured - nodular or mass lesions in lung
unstructured - excess fluid, cellular ingrowth, or infiltration into supporting interstitial framework of lung
tracheal collapse
alveolar pattern
air bronchograms
bronchial pattern
ring shadows
tram lines
structured interstitial pattern
pulomary module superimposed on heart
lung pattern characterized by an increased background opacity of the lung
unstructured interstitial
what artery on the heart seperates the L atrium from the L ventricle
Left coronary grrove
heart sac, fibroserous envelope of the heart
pericardium
what are the 2 parts of the pericardium
fibrous - tough outer sac that contains the serous pericardium and a small amount of fluid
Serous (parietal and visceral)
Parietal - covers inner surface of fibrous pericardium
visceral - epicardium, attaches to the heart muscle
what heart muscles prevent inversion or prolapse of the valves
papillary
papillary muscles attach to valves via ______
chordae tendinae
what valve separates left atrium and left ventricle
mitral (aka bicuspid)
what valve separates R atrium and R ventricle
tricuspid
systole
heart contracts and pumps blood from chambers into arteries
Diastole
heart relaxes and allows chambers to fill with blood
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
failure of ductus arteriosus to close after birth
results in cough, labored breathing, left sided congestive heart failure
