40
Q

Scapula

A

Attachment point of several muscles, and clavicle

41
Q

Clavicle

A

Provides anterior support for shoulder, and attaches to the sternum and anterior portion of scapula.

42
Q

4 components of the Ribs

A

Head, neck, shaft, and angle.

43
Q

Head

A

Provides the articulating surface with the spinal column

44
Q

Neck

A

Portion right below the head of the rib

45
Q

Shaft

A

The body of the rib

46
Q

Angle

A

The point at which the rib begins to curve forward

47
Q

True ribs

A

Ribs 1-7, direct attachment to the sternum via a cartilaginous union

48
Q

False ribs

A

Ribs 8-10 attached to the sternum via cartilage which runs superiorly

49
Q

Floating rib

A

Ribs 11-12 articulate with the vertebral column.

50
Q

Sternum

A

Attaches to the clavicle and articulates with ribs by means of costal cartilage

51
Q

3 components of sternum

A

Manubrium sterni, corpus, xiphoid.

52
Q

Manubrium

A

Uppermost segment of sternum, contains jugular notch, and articulates with the clavicle and first rib.

53
Q

Body

A

Articulates with 6 ribs, forms the junction of the manubrium and body of the sternum.

54
Q

Xiphoid process

A

Provides attachment to the linea alba (midline of abdomen)

55
Q

Respiratory passageway

A

Provides communication between the lungs and external environment

56
Q

4 components of RP

A

Oral and nasal cavities, larynx, trachea, and bronchi.

57
Q

Trachea

A

Flexible tube, ~11 cm in length, composed of 16-20 hyaline cartilage rings on the anterior portion of the trachea, posterior wall has tracheal is muscle to fill in gap between c-rings.

58
Q

Carina trachea

A

Point at which the trachea divides into bronchi

59
Q

Bronchial tree

A

Begins at the level of the carina, gets smaller as it progresses in to lungs.

60
Q

Mainstem bronchi

A

Right bronchus is larger in diameter and straighter than the left because it is connected to the larger lung, but the left is twice as long.

61
Q

Secondary bronchi

A

Right lung has 3, they extend into the lobes of the lungs

62
Q

Tertiary bronchi

A

Smaller passageways extending into the bronchioles

63

A

Site of gas exchange

67
Q

A

Alveolar ducts, and alveolar sacs.

68
Q

Asthma

A

The swelling that occurs in the bronchioles causing a decrease in diameter or the bronchial branches.

69
Q

Emphysema

A

The breakdown of the lung in which the alveoli that promote oxygen exchange between the air sac and the blood stream are destroyed.

70
Q

Lungs

A

Composed of tissue having a light, porous, and spongy texture, highly elastic, and dependent on musculature and air pressure to pump air in and out of the lungs.

71
Q

Apex of the lung

A

They point upward and fits into a space bounded by upper ribs, sternum and vertebrae

72
Q

Right lung

A

Has a transverse fissure and they both have oblique fissures

73
Q

Mediastinum

A

The space that separates the lungs, this is where the heart resides.

74
Q

Pericardium

A

Surrounds the heart and is a closed membranous sac

75
Q

Mediastinal surface

A

Surface of each lung facing the mediastinum

76
Q

Costal surface

A

Convex surface of lung next to ribs

77
Q

Pleurae

A

Covering for the lung and internal organs, allows for enlargement of the thorax for inspiration.

78
Q

Visceral pleural

A

Adheres to cover the lungs and pericardium

79
Q

Parietal pleurae

A

Adheres firmly to the thorax, and includes mediastinal and diaphramatic pleurae

80
Q

3 parts of pleurae’s interaction

A

Reduces surface tension, provides slippery interface between lungs and the thoracic wall, and the presence of surfactant keeps the sheets from clinging together.

81
Q

Pleurisy

A

A condition in which there is an increase of fluid in the plural cavity that causes inflammation and causes extreme pain during breathing.

82
Q

Pneumothorax

A

Is the puncture of the lungs pleural lining which results in a collapse of the lung, and means if one collapses the other may stay the same.

83
Q

Atelectasis

A

Is the collapse of a lung or part of it.
