32
Q

mast cells

A

key role in inflam

33
Q

apex of lungs

A

top

34
Q

base of lungs

A

bottom

35
Q

hilum

A

where the root enters the lung

36
Q

visceral pleura

A

attached to lung

37
Q

parietal pluera

A

attached to thoracic wall

38
Q

plueral space

A

potential space betweenvisceral and parietal, contains fluid so they can slide smoothly

39
Q

pulmonary arteries

A

carry oxygen-poor (deoxygentated) blood to the lungs

40
Q

pulmonary veins

A

carry oxygen rich (oxygenated) blood to the body

41
Q

RA-> RV-> pulm arteries-> pulm arterioles-> pulm capilarries-> gas exchange-> pulm venules.veins-> LA-> LV-> aorta-> body

A
42
Q

bronchial blood supply

A

from the aorta the bronchial artieries carry oxygenated blood to the airway walls, rest drains into pulm veins- mixing blue blood with red (anatomical shunt)

43
Q

lymphatic system

A

2 sets of lymphatic vessels- superficial vessels drain lung surfaces and pleura, deep vessels drain lung parenchyma (supporting structure)

44
Q

motor innervation

A

skeletal muscles of the chest innervated by inter costal nerves, diaphragm innervated by phrenic nerves

45
Q

sympathetic

A

under stress, thoracolumbar, smooth muscle relaxation

46
Q

sympathetic system stimulation

A

vasoconstriction causes BP to increase and heart rate increases, promotes bronchodilation

47
Q

sympathetic system secretes

A

norepinephrine/noradrenaline

48
Q

parasympathetic system secretes

A

acteylcholine (cholingeric fibers)

48
Q

parasympathetic system innervates

A

smooth airway muscle , mucous glands, and pulm vasculature

49
Q

i-NANC

A

efferent (motor) fibers that cause bronchodilation

50
Q

56
Q

right atrium

A

accepts deoxygenated systemic blood from the vena cava and it goes to the tricuspid valve into right ventricle

57
Q

A

takes deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and pumps in to the pulmonic valave into the pulmonary artery
