Question | Answer |
---|---|
Vallecula | Depression at the back of the tongue. It is an anatomical landmark for intubation. |
Glottis | Space between the vocal cords. This is the narrowest point where air goes through in adults. |
Epiglottis | Flap of skin that protects the trachea from aspiration. |
Carina | Bottom of trachea where the mainstems split into left and right. The tip of the ET tube should be 2" above to avoid irritation. |
Divisions of the Pharynx | Nasopharynx (Nose straight back,contains adenoids and eustachian tubes), Oropharynx (Mouth straight back, contains tonsils and vallecula), Laryngopharynx (Bottom of throat, contains voicebox, epiglottis, esophagus) |
Main functions of the nose | Filter, Humidify, and Warm inspired air |
Differentiate the Right Bronchi from the Left Bronchi... | Right Bronchi is Wider, Shorter by 5cm, and more vertical with a 25 degree angle. Left Bronchi is narrower, Longer by 5 cm, and more horizontal with a 40-60 degree angle |
Turbinates | Are located in the nose, there are 3 layers (superior, middle, and inferior) they play a major role in humidification and warming of inspired air. |
Cell types in the Alveoli | Type 1 ( thin/broad, 95% of cells, Diffusion of gases) Type 2 (cuboidal, 5% of cells, Make and Store pulmonary surfactant) Type 3 (Alveolar macrophages, protect and serve the alveolus) |
How many Lobes and Segmental Bronchi do the Right and Left lung contain? | Right Lung (3 Lobes, 10 Segmental Bronchi) Left Lung (2 Lobes, 8 Segmental Bronchi) |
The adult Trachea is how long and how wide? | 11-13 cm Long and 1.5-2.5 cm Wide |
Where is Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium found? | In the tracheobronchial tree starting with the trachea going down to the respiratory bronchioles (excludes the Alveolar ducts and sacs) |
Parts of the tracheobronchial tree | Trachea, Right and Left Mainstem, Lobar Bronchi, Sengmental Bronchi, Subsegmental Bronchi, Bronchioles, Terminal Bronchioles, Respiratory Bronchioles, Alveolar Ducts, Alveolar Sacs. |
Parts in the conducting zone of the tracheobronchial tree | Trachea,Right and Left Mainstems, Lobar Bronchi, Segmental Bronchi, Subsegmental Bronchi, Bronchioles, Terminal Bronchioles. |
Parts in the Respiratory Zone of the tracheobronchial tree | Respiratory Bronchioles, Alveolar Ducts, Alveolar Sacs |
Cartilagenous Airways (In conducting zone) | Hold open airways- trachea, Right and Left Mainstems, Lobar Bronchi, Segmental Bronchi, Subsegmental Bronchi. |
Noncartilagenous Airways (In conducting zone) | Bronchioles, Terminal Bronchioles. |
Parts in Respiratory Zone responsible for gas exchange) | Respiratory Bronchioles, Alveolar Ducts, Alveolar Sacs. |
Functions of the upper airway | act as a conductor of air, humidify and warm the inspired air, Prevent foreign materials from entering tracheobronchial tree, Serve as an important area involved in speech and smell. |
Pulmonry Lymphatics (Function, Location, and Density) | Function- remove excess fluid that leaks out of pulmonary capillaries. |
