A

oblique fissure

18
Q

A

horizontal & oblique fissure

19
Q

what are the lobes in the left lung?

A

superior & inferior

20
Q

what are the lobes in the right lung?

A

superior, middle & inferior

21
Q

what are the 3 surfaces of the lungs?

A

costal, mediastinal & diaphragmatic

22
Q

what are the 3 borders of the lungs?

A

anterior, inferior & posterior

23
Q

where do the left arteries branch from?

A

descending aorta

24
Q

where do the right arteries branch from?

A

intercostal arteries

25
Q

where do bronchial veins terminate?

A

in the azygos system of veins

26
Q

where does the innervation of the lungs come from?

A

the autonomic nervous system (ANS)

27
Q

where is the innervation of the sympathetic nervous system & what happens to bronchial musculature & pulmonary vasculature?

A
  • sympathetic trunk
  • bronchial musculature: dilates
  • pulmonary vasculature: constricts
28
Q

where is the innervation of the parasympathetic nervous system & what happens to bronchial musculature & pulmonary vasculature?

A
  • from vagus
  • bronchial musculature: constricts
  • pulmonary vasculature: dilates
29
Q

what is the order of the respiratory tree?

A

trachea –> primary (main) bronchi –> secondary (lobar) bronchi –> tertiary (segmental) bronchi –> bronchioles (termninal/respiratory) –> alveorlar sacs –> alveoli

30
Q

where does the trachea run from & to?

A

C6 to T4/5

31
Q

what is the name of the cartilage that separates the 2 main bronchi when they bifurcate?

A

the carina

32
Q

where does the trachea bifurcate?

A

the sternal angle

33
Q

what lines the trachea?

A

mucous membrane & cilia

34
Q

where do the primary bronchi pass into the lungs?

A

the hilum/root of the lung

35
Q

what is the difference between the left & right bronchus?

A

main right bronchus is wider, shorter & runs more vertically

36
Q

how many secondary bronchi are in each lung?

A

3 in right lung & 2 in left

37
Q

what does each tertiary bronchi supply?

A

a bronchopulmonary segment

38
Q

how many bronchopulmonary segments are there in the left & right lung?

A

10 in right lung & 8-10 in left lung

39
Q

what are the 2 cell types in alveoli?

A
  • type 1 pneumocytes (95%)

- type 2 pneumocytes (5%)

40
Q

what do type 2 pneumocytes do?

A

secrete pulmonary surfactant

41
Q

where is the visceral pleura found?

A

lines the lungs
