Question | Answer |
Lungs are smaller than the pleura to allow for | Inflation |
Aspirations almost always go down which side of the split? | Right |
Lobes are defined by | Visceral pleura separation, a lobar bronchus, its own artery |
Bronchipulmonary segments are identified by having its | own bronchus and its own artery |
Each costal cartilage has a joint with the sternum. What type of joint? | Synovial |
Central tendon in the diaphragm is | Not contractile |
Three major things going through diaphragm | IVC, esophagus and aorta |
Muscles of inspiration | External intercostal, Chondral internal intercostal, Scalenes, SCM |
Muscles of expiration | Costal part of internal intercostal, Rectus abdominas |
Muscles of expiration are only used in | Vigorous exercise and breathing problems |
What do the muscles of expiration always do? | Keep the intercostal spaces rigid |
Expiration is normally due to | Gravity |
Lower ribs move in what way in ventilation | Bucket handle |
Upper move in what way in ventilationhttp | Pump handle |
Elastic in the lungs refers to | Resisting deformation |
Most important muscle of inspiration | Diaphragm |
During quiet breathing, expiration only requires | Relaxation of inspiratory muscles |
Why do the lungs expand with the chest wall? | Cohesion between the outside of the lung and the inside of the chest wall. |
Volume in lungs where negative pressures inside the chest are equal and opposite | Functional residual capacity. This is the position that the lungs and chest wall would come to if you relaxed all respiratory muscles. |
In a pneumothorax, when the chest moves outwards, the lungs move | Inwards (collapse)because air seperates pleural cohesion |
As the volume in the lungs increases, the pressure in the lungs | Decreases |
At the end of inspiration, alveolar and atmospheric pressure are | Equal |
Increased compliance does what to recoil? | Decreases it |
Three factors that effect compliance | Surface tension, elastic tissue, ease of rib movement |
Functional residual capacity is (increased/decreased) in smokers | Increased |
Removal of surface tension makes inflating the lungs | Easier |
What produces surfactant? | Type II alveolar cells |
Three benefits of surfactant | Increases compliance, stabilizes alveoli, keeps alveoli dry |
Surfactant is most useful at | Low long volumes |
If the compliance is increased, Functional residual capacity will | Increase |
