articulate only w vertebral column

55
Q

how is cervical spine surgery important to SLPs

A

may have a patient w this surgery - surgery from the back is risky because the spinal cord is in the way - less risky to come from the side, but that means that the need to move the larynx out of the way… and they leave behind some hardware in the spine which ends up being next to he pharynx, can cause changes to the space available for swallowing

56
Q

how can abnormalities in spine curvature affect us?

A
  • too much convexity - kyphosis
  • too much concave in lumbar region during pregnancy leads to shortness of breath (lordosis)
  • scoliosis is asymmetry, means one side cant expand properly
57
Q

what are the 2 zones of the visceral thorax

A

conducting zone, respiratory zone

58
Q

the conducting zone is

A
  • passageways that carry air to respiratory zone
  • includes structures in the upper respiratory tract and lower respiratory tract
59
Q

lower respiratory tract includes

A

larynx (below vocal folds), trachea, bronchi, bronchioles

60
Q

upper respiratory tract includes

A

nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx (above vocal folds)

61
Q

the respiratory zone is

A
  • distal end of the lower respiratory tract - location of gas exchange

62
Q

what are the main 2 features of the trachea

A
  • strong flexible tube
  • tracheal wall
63
Q

what are the 3 layers of the tracheal wall (superficial to deep)

A

mucous membrane, submucosa, adventitia

64
Q

the mucous membrane of the trachea has what features

A
  • beating cilia propel mucous superiorly
  • elastin allows trachea to stretch during inhalation and recoil during exhalation
  • mucosa is sensitive to irritants (sensory stimulation evokes cough reflex)
65
Q

the submucosa membrane of the trachea does what

A

houses glands that produce mucous

66
Q

the adventitia layer of the trachea does what

A

CT outer layer that contains the cartilaginous rings (which are more like C shapes)

67
Q

how is the trachea supported by cartilage

A

-16 to 20 C shaped rings of hyaline cartilage
- rings are open posteriorly - trachealis muscle sits in this space, contraction shortens and dec diameter of the trachea (ex. coughing or sneezing)

68
Q

the trachea divides into

A

2 mainstem or primary bronchi … point of bifurcation is called the carina

69
Q

the carina is

A

the point where the trachea separates into the 2 primary bronchi - last place foreign material can be stopped before lungs

70
Q

what is the order of the bronchi

A

mainstem or primary bronchi
lobar or secondary bronchi
segmental or tertiary bronchi
bronchioles

71
Q

describe mainstem/primary bronchi

A
  • each mainstem brochus enters lung thru medial depression called the hilum
  • right mainstem bronchus is more vertical, wider and shorter (aspiration will go to right lung sooner)
72
Q

describe the lobar or secondary bronchi

A
  • 3 on right, 2 on left
  • to each lobe of the lung
73
Q

describe segmental/tertiary bronchi

A
  • 10 on right, 8 on left
  • to each segment of each lobe
74
Q

describe the bronchioles

A
  • <1mm diameter
  • repeated divisions results in gradually smaller passageways
  • conducting zone ends w terminal bronchioles (<0.5mm)
75
Q

what changes anatomically as the bronchi gets smaller?

A

-cartilaginous rings become smaller irregular plates or cartilage, eventually disappear
- cilia and mucous-producing cells disappear

76
Q

what are the 3 components of the respiratory zone

A
  • respiratory bronchioles
  • alveolar ducts
  • alveoli, arranged in clusters or sacs
77
Q

describe alveoli

A
  • region of gas exchange in the lungs (300 mill)
  • thin outer membrane permeable to O2 and CO2 covered w extensive dense capillary bed
78
Q

what does the membrane of the alveoli consist of?

A
  • type 1 cells for gas exchange
  • type 2 cells that produce surfactant (dec surface tension, prevent collapse of alveoli during respiration)
79
Q

what does the extensive capillary bed of an alveoli allow for?

A

small blood volume to be spread over very large alveolar surface area for gas exchange

80
Q

how are the lungs organized

A
  • right = 3 lobes
  • left = 2 lobes and cardiac notch
  • each lobe is divided into a number of bronchopulmonary segments (10 on R, 8 on L)
81
Q

what is the pleurae of the lungs?

A
  • a double layered membrane that encloses the lungs
  • outer layer and inner layer
  • each layer is one continuous sheet of serous membrane, folds back on itself at the hilum
82
Q

Outer layer of the pleurae of the lungs lines…

A

internal surface of thoracic cavity, superior surface of diaphragm, and lateral surface of the mediastinum (parietal pleura)

83
Q

Inner layer of the pleurae of the lungs adheres to…

A

the external surface of the lung (visceral pleura)

84
Q

what is the pleural cavity?

A

potential space bw parietal and visceral pleurae filled w serous pleural fluid, allows layers to glide upon each other for friction free interaction bw ribcage and lungs

85
Q

what are the 2 functions of the pleural fluid?

A
  • holds parietal and visceral pleura together, lungs cling to thoracic wall and move with it
  • lubricates allowing the lungs to slide across the thoracic wall
86
Q

describe the notochord in axial skeleton dev

A
  • develops into the notochordal canal, which is eventually the vertebral canal
  • signals the tissue around the neural tube to begin ossifying to form vertebrae
87
Q

when do the vertebrae of the axial skeleton begin ossifying? when does it end?

A

7th week of dev
continues into adulthood

88
Q

what type of tissue is the ribcage in dev?

A

begins as cartilage and ossifies in fetal period - not fully ossified due to chondral ends

89
Q

when does the respiratory system begin to dev?

A

4th week of embryonic period

90
Q

The ____ tube develops in the endoderm. The tube elongates into ____ buds, which will develop into lungs. This tube will also develop into the _____ and ____.

  • respiration isnt possible
94
Q

describe the canalicular stage of lung dev

A
  • weeks 16 to 25
  • bronchioles enlarge
  • lung tissue becomes vascularized
  • at 25 weeks, infant reaches area of viability (alveoli in place)
95
Q

describe the terminal saccular stage of lung dev

A
  • weeks 24/25 to late fetal
  • terminal saccules dev (will become alveoli)
  • saccules are lined with surfactant (keeps alveoli inflated)
96
Q

describe the alveolar stage of lung dev

A
  • late fetal to 8 years
  • at birth 25 mill alveoli, only 5% mature/functional
  • alveoli mature thru 3 years

97
Q

what is a tracheotomy

A

surgical incision at 2nd or 3rd tracheal rings

98
Q

what is a tracheostomy? what is it used for?

A
