Test 4 Lecture 2 Flashcards
Resting Respiratory Rate
12-20 breaths a minute
Inhalation is a/an _____ process
ACTIVE- you have to contract muscles so that you can expand lungs so air can come in
Inhalation requires which muscles to contract?
Diaphragm, External Intercostals
exhalation is a/an _____ process in the resting state
PASSIVE
- requires muscle relaxation as lungs rebound off the chest wall and diaphragm
- Surface tension in the airways causes to partial collapse (surface in airways stick and come together to help you push the air out to complete exhalation)
what does the diaphragm do during inhalation?
it moves down to the 6 intercostal space on right side, 7th rib on left side. It flattens out allowing the lungs to expand vertically
what does the diaphragm do during exhalation?
moves up to about the 4th rib on right side, and 4th interspace on the left side.
what do lungs do during exhalation
they kind of bounce of the diaphragm and the surface tension causes the lungs to get smaller as we force the air out as we exhale
transverse thoracis
Lies on the posterior surface of the anterior thoracic wall
Originates on side of sternum, Inserts on Ribs 2-6
a modified innermost intercostal
-helps with forced exhalation
Levatores Costarum
origin - transverse processes of cervical vertebra 7 and thoracic vertebrae 1-11.
insertion - rib below.
when they contract they lift ribs up, so they help you inhale
Serratus Posterior Superior
-thin as paper
origin - ligamentum nuchae.
insertion - ribs 2-5.
might help with inhalation, pull ribcage up to help us expand lungs to inhale
Seratus Posterior Inferior
-thin as paper
helps us to forcefully exhale because it pulls the rib spaces down
origin - supraspinous ligament of T11-L3.
insertion - ribs 9-12.
Scalenes
can lift ribcage up and help ribs expand
i. anterior
origin - transverse processes of cervical vertebrae 3-6.
insertion - first rib.
ii. middle
origin - transverse processes of cervical vertebrae 2-7.
insertion - first rib.
Sternocleidomastoid
STRONG MUSCLE- ELEVATES YOUR CHEST WALL/ RIBCAGE! and allow you to expand your chest and expand your lungs.
origin - sternal manubrium, sternal end of the clavicle.
insertion - mastoid process.
Subcostales
behind thoracic viscera, modified innermost intercostals.
Might help with forceful exhalation
Ribs 10-12
Abdominal Muscles
Best muscles to help with forceful exhalation. When you contract, it forces the diaphragm upwards.
Best muscles specifically to help with forceful exhalation?
The abdominal muscles. Specifically: Rectus Abdominas External Abdominal Oblique Internal Abdominal Oblique (deep to external) Transverse Abdominas (deep to the internal) -when they contract they compress your abdomen, abdominal wall, so it slams your diaphragm up causing your lungs to contract
Top of the lung is called the
apex
bottom of the lung is called
the broad concave BASE. It sits right onto of the diaphragm
The lung base covers the
Diaphragmatic Surface
tissue that covers the lung is called (deepest layer)?
visceral pleura (very thin)
layer over the visceral pleura is called
the parietal pleura
the space between visceral pleura and the parietal pleura
the pleural space or cavity- a potential space.
-on exams they’ll ask what lies within this space, and the answer is nothing, its a potential space that’s all
Costodiaphragmatic Recess
recess is the extension of the inferior pleural space into the area formed between the posterior body wall and the posterior dome of the diaphragm.
External Oblique O/I
origin - lower borders and outer surfaces of the lower 8 ribs.
insertion - lower 2 ribs, anterior half of the iliac crest, and the external abdominal oblique aponeurosis.
External Oblique O/I
origin - lower borders and outer surfaces of the lower 8 ribs.
insertion - lower 2 ribs, anterior half of the iliac crest, and the external abdominal oblique aponeurosis.
Internal abdominal oblique O/I
origin - posterior layer of the thoracolumbar fascia, anterior 2/3 of the iliac crest, lateral 2/3 of the inguinal ligament, and from the iliacus fascia.
insertion - forms an aponeurosis around the rectus abdominis to insert into the linea alba, lower 3 - 4 ribs and their cartilages, and the pubis.
Transversus abdominis O/I
origin - costal cartilages of the lower six ribs, thoracolumbar fascia, anterior 3/4 of the iliac crest, form the lateral 1/3 of the inguinal ligament, and from the iliacus fascia.
insertion - superior border of the pubis and pectin pubis, aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis to the linea alba.
Visceral pleura
shiny serous layer, which tightly adheres to the lungs
Parietal pleura
fibrous connective tissue layer that is attached to the bony thorax and diaphragm, and lies next to the fibrous layer of the pericardium
The parietal layer of the pleura is
___ applied, and descends about 2 rib spaces below the inferior extent of the lungs
loosely
pleural effusion
Sometimes fluid may accumulate in the Costodiaphragmatic Recess and settle into this pleural space
Parietal Pleura is divided into 4 regional parts:
- Costal Pleura (the largest portion, in contact with chest wall, and ribs)
- Diaphragmatic Pleura (on the base of the lung that’s in contact with the diaphragm)
- Cervical Pleura (tightly covers apex of the lung)
- Mediastinal Pleura (medial surface of lungs)
Lung apex- parietal pleura covers ___
tightly
The space between where the lungs base ends and the space that the pleura goes to is the
costodiapragmatic recess
the parietal pleura dips down about ________ further than the end of the lungs
2 RIB SPACE DIFFERENTIAL
(base of lung at following midclavicular line = 6th rib, base of parietal pleura = 8th rib
-important because it allows your lungs to expand!
midaxillary line-
lungs base goes to
parietal pleural base goes to
lungs base goes to: 8th rib
parietal pleural base goes to: 10th rib
paravertebral line
lungs base goes to
parietal pleural base goes to
lungs base goes to: 10th rib
parietal pleural base goes to: 12th rib
the 2 rib space differential between the parietal pleura and the lung base creates the
diaphragmatic recess
When a person has fluid build up in the diaphragmatic recess what do they do?
they go to the 11th rib area and go over- so they don’t hit the lungs but they don’t hit the intercostal artery and nerve
pleural effusion
inflammation of fluid
pleural effusion can lead to
pneumonia, or even nowadays COVID
A normal lung extends to where
1 inch above the clavicle (technically in posterior triangle!)
in an xray, normal lungs are
radioluctent
Hilum
where the blood vessels come in and deliver blood to the organ, and where blood vessels an organ
Hilum of the lung contains
pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, and an airway as well
At the hilum of the lung, what do the vein and artery do?
the vein carries arterial blood (take bloods from the lungs, back to the heart oxygenated)
the arteries carrie venous blood (take blood into lungs from heart, so not oxygenated yet)
Hilum of the left lung
the airway lies immediately under the pulmonary artery, so we call it hypoarterial
-very consistent, this doesn’t change
Hilum of the right lung
the airway lies above and around the pulmonary artery, so we call it epiarterial
The cardiac notch is found on the
left lung
the cardiac depression is found on the
left lung, caused by the heart
the aortic arch impression can be found on the
left lung
the impression of the azygos vein can be found on the
right lung
the esophageal impression can be found on the
right lung
Lobes:
Subdivisions of the Lungs separated by fissures
Bronchopulmonary Segments:
Subdivisions of the Lobes separated by fibrous septa
