Veterinary respiratory system II Flashcards
Cavity of the larynx
cavum laryngis
translate vestibule of the larynx and describe location
vestibulum laryngis is between the entrance and the vocal folds
Difference between cavum laryngis and vestibulum laryngis?
The cavity of the larynx extends from the laryngeal entrance to the lower border of the cricoid cartilage.
The laryngeal vestibule is the part of the laryngeal cavity lying between the laryngeal inlet and vocal folds.
translate laryngeal inlet and describe boundaries
aditus laryngis is bound by the epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds, and corniculate tubercles
What can be found caudal to the epiglottis in su and eq?
median laryngeal recess (recessus laryngis medianus)
What symmetrical structures extend between the thyroid and arytenoid cartilages in car and eq?
paired vestibular folds
sg. plica vestibularis
(not in su)
purpose of the vestibular folds?
protect vocal folds from damage through strain and swallowing
What can be found between vestibular and vocal folds and in which species are they absent?
sg. ventriculus laryngis
laryngeal ventricles
found in eq and canines; in su two parts of the vocal fold
absent in Ru, fe
translate vocal apparatus and what structures does it consist of?
vocal apparatus = glottis
and consists of vocal folds, arytenoid cartilages and cleft of the glottis
translate cleft of the glottis
rima glottidis
translate (paired) vocal fold
plica vocalis
Where do the plica vocalis run?
from thyroid cartilages parallel to the vestibular fold caudodorsally to the arytenoid cartilages, covers the vocal ligaments
What is unique to the pig vocal folds?
splits into two portions (vertically)
What do the vocal folds/plica vocalis contain?
each fold contains a vocal ligament, vocal muscle and fat tissue
vocal ligament
ligamentum vocale
vocal muscle
musculus vocalis
How’re the contents of the vocal folds positioned?
the ligament positioned medially and the vocal muscle laterally
infraglottic cavity
cavum infraglotticum
Where is the infraglottic cavity?
its caudal to the glottis and leads smoothly to the trachea
What does the laryngeal mucous membrane contain?
mucous glands and lymphoid aggregations
translate laryngeal prominence and which cartilage does it belong to?
prominentia laryngea of the thyroid cartilage
What type of cartilage make up the tracheal rings?
hyaline
What structures is the trachea attached to at its ends?
The cricoid cartilage rostrally and the primary pulmonary bronchi caudally.
Where is the location of the tracheal bifurcation?
at the level of the 4th- 6th intercostal space
Name the two regionally descriptive parts of the trachea.
pars cervicalis et thoracica
How does the thoracic part of the trachea deviate from its median position?
pars thoracica is deflected slightly to the right where it crosses the aortic arch
tracheal cartilages
cartilagines tracheales
tracheal cartilages are connected to each other by?
annular ligaments / ligg. anularia
dorsal free ends of the tracheal cartilages are bridged by?
the membranous wall
lymphoid tissue
the smooth trachealis muscle
Where does the tracheal muscle attach?
dorsally to the tracheal rings and attaches internally or externally (e.g. in Ca)
the membranous wall
paries membranaceus
trachealis muscle
m. trachealis
What is the wall of the trachea composed of (not the cart. type)?
inner ciliated respiratory mucosa submucosa with glands, a fibrocartilaginous middle layer an adventitial (in the neck) or serosal (in the thorax) outer layer
Shape of equine tracheal rings?
transversely flattened oval tracheal rings
overlap dorsally from right to left in cervical region
incomplete dorsally in thoracic region
Shape of ruminant tracheal rings?
ends of the vertically oval tracheal rings form a dorsal ridge in the thoracic region.
In the cervical, they are incomplete dorsally
Shape of goat tracheal rings?
U-shaped
Shape of sheep tracheal rings?
round
Shape of porcine tracheal rings?
are round and overlap dorsally both in the thorax and neck
Shape of canine tracheal rings?
are slender and C-shaped. The ends of the rings do not meet dorsally so that the trachea has a membranous dorsal wall.
Shape of feline tracheal rings?
elliptical shape; the free ends at same level
tracheal bifurcation
bifurcatio tracheae
What are bronchi?
bronchi are branches of the trachea and their subdivisions
translate bronchial tree
arbor bronchalis
What are the cartilaginous rings replaced by on the smaller bronchi?
irregular plaques
What are the extrapulmonar primary bronchi called in latin?
bronchus principalis: dexter et sinister
tracheal bronchus
bronchus trachealis
In what species is the tracheal bronchus found?
in Ru and su
