Q

exhalation is a/an _____ process in the resting state

A

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)

Q

what does the diaphragm do during inhalation?

A

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

Q

what do lungs do during exhalation

A

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

Q

Best muscles specifically to help with forceful exhalation?

A
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

Q

pulmonary hygiene or postural drainage

A

cystic fibrosis- a disease when you produce a lot of mucous in lungs
-if you know where bronchopulmonary segments lie, then you can pound on patients chest and help drain bronchopulmonary segment. It can help them cough the mucous out

67
Q

a wedge resection is

A

someone who has cancer of the lungs, sometimes they can just take out a bronchopulmonary segment, rather than a lobectomy where they take our an entire lobe of a lung, or pneumoectomy where they take out an entire lung

68
Q

Follow the airway progression

71
Q

A

the bronchial veins

72
Q

Bronchial Veins

  • what do they run with?
  • what do they empty into?
A

Variable-run with bronchial arteries. They kind of create a plexus.
Empty into the Superior Vena Cava

73
Q

costalphrenic recess

A

is a potential space in the pleural cavity, at the posterior-most tips of the cavity, located at the junction of the costal pleura and diaphragmatic pleura
-where the diaphragm comes to meet the thoracic wall

74

the left is:
Longer
Smaller Diameter
More Horizontal

82
Q

degree angle between the left and right mainstem bronchus?

A

62 degrees

83
Q

If someone has a pathogen go into lungs, which side mainstem bronchi would they likely go in?

A

the right side because of gravity, its steeper. So that’s why people get pneumonia more on the right side

84
Q

Fiber-optic Flexible Bronchoscopy

A

a broncoscopie is used to view the airways and check for abnormalities in the trachea or in the mainstem bronchi

85
Q

the carina

A

the ridge that divides the trachea and separates it into the left from the right mainstem bronchus
-it’s not the last tracheal ring

86
Q

how do mainstem bronchi divide?

A

they divide into the amount of lobes in that side of the lung (but the left side also has the lingular broncus)

  • Right side= (3 Lobar Bronchi) upper, lower, middle lobar bronchi
  • Left side= (2 Lobar Bronchi+ Lungular ) upper and lower LOBAR bronchi AND Lingual has it’s own called the lingular bronchus
87
Q

How do lobar bronchi then divide?

A

Right: 10 Segmental Bronchi
Left: 8 Segmental Bronchi

88
Q

describe the bronchi from the trachea down?

A

left and right mainstem bronchi divide into lobar bronchi (right side has upper, middle lower, left side has upper, lower and a lingular bronchus), then they divide into segmental bronchi (Right has 10, Left has 8), then they divide into Subsegmental Bronchi (20-25 Generations), which eventually divide into bronchioles

89
Q

A

the subsegmental bronchi, ends at bronchoioles

90
Q

bronchioles

A

HAVE NO CARTILAGE. Just smooth muscular tubes

<1mm in diameter

91
Q

why do we have cartilage around all of our bronchi but the bronchioles?

A

to keep our airway from collapsing and expanding every time we breath out.

92
Q

Where do people with asthma have their difficulties?

A

Down in your little tiny bronchioles, when they swell

93
Q

Where is carbon dioxide and oxygen exchanged with the blood?

94
Q

alveoli (the most distal end)

95
Q

99
Q

Capillaries have both

A

venous blood and arterial blood

100
Q

What is the mediastinum?

A

it’s the space in between lungs

101
Q

Why is the mediastinum space important?

A

it allows “placement” and location of the various internal structures of the Thorax

102

  5. esophagus
110
Q

Termination of the Thoracic (Lymphatic) Duct

A
  • Begins below the diaphragm
  • Thoracic Duct passes through the aortic hiatus
  • Termination is at the junction of the Left Subclavian and Left Internal Jugular Veins which is called the left brachial cephalic vein. The majority of our lymph takes this pathway and is channeled back into bloodstream here
111
Q

discuss the lymphatic system

A

it carries lymph, which is derived from your capillaries, and these lymphatic vessels carry it all over your body until it dumps back into your bloodstream where it gets swished through the capillaries

112
Q

**Where is termination of the thoracic (lymphatic) duct? ***

A

in the superior mediastinum

113
Q

Thoracic duct starts just under the diaphragm at the

A

Cisterna Chyli in the Abdomen

114
Q

Cisterna Chyli gives rise to the

A

thoracic duct (keep in mind this is going superior)

115
Q

the thoracic duct passes through the

A

diaphragm as it ascends the posterior thorax

116
Q

When the thoracic duct gets into the superior mediastinum what happens?

A

it curves where it turns into the left subclavian vein, where it joins the left internal jugular vein, which forms the left brachiocephalic vein

117
Q

termination of the right lymphatic duct occurs in the

A

superior mediastinum (same as left, but to the right side. so it drains into the right subclavian vein and right internal jugular vein into the right brachiocephalic vein_)

118
Q

The thoracic duct drains

A

your left head, left neck, left upper trunk, left arm down to hand and waste down all by the thoracic duct (so like 3/4’s of your body)

119
Q

the right lymphatic duct drains

A

your right head, right neck, right upper arm and thoracic region down to your right fingers. THATS IT (only maybe a quarter of your body

120
