RTE 1503 Chp 3
RTE 1503 Chp 3 Chest review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Radiographic anatomy of the chest is divided into three sections: | Bony thorax, respiratory system proper, and the mediastinum |
| Anteriorly, the bony thorax consists of | Sternum |
| Sternum has three divisions | Superior(manubrium) center(body) and inferior (Xiphoid process) |
| Superiorly, the bony thorax consists of | two clavicles connect the sternum to the two scapulae, twelve pairs of ribs that circle the thorax, and the twelve thoracic vertebrae posteriorly |
| For chest positioning, two landmarks are | vertebra prominens and jugular notch |
| Four general divisions of the respiratory system | pharynx, trachea, bronchi,and lungs |
| Each of the diaphragm is called | Hemidiaphragm |
| Posterior area between the noise and mouth above and the larynx and esophagus below. | Pharynx |
| Three divisions of the pharynx | nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx |
| Makes up the roof of the oral cavity | Hard palate and soft palate |
| the posterior aspect of the soft palate is called the | Uvula |
| Part of the digestive system that connects the pharynx with the stomach | Esophagus |
| Xiphoid process corresponds to the level of ___ or ____ of the thoracic spine | T9 or T10 |
| Placement of the midthorax at the level of ____ of the thoracic vertebra. | T7 |
| Passage way for both food and fluids, as well as for air. | Pharynx |
| Lies above and posterior to the larynx and extends from the upper border of the epiglottis | Laryngopharynx |
| Part of the digestive system that connects the pharynx with the stomach and posterior to the larynx and trachea | Esophagus |
| Laryngeal prominence of the thyroid cartilage located at approximately the level of ____ | C5 |
| Flips down and covers the trachea during the act of swalloing | Epiglottis |
| which primary bronchus is wider and shorter and allows for foreign objects to enter | Right primary bronchus |
| A specific prominence, or ridge of the lowest tracheal cartilage | Carina |
| At what level is the carina located | T5 |
| Inner layer that covers the surface of the lungs and other organs | Visceral pleura |
| The potential space between the double-walled pleura | Pleural cavity |
| At what level do the apices of the lungs extend up to | T1 |
| The _______ of each lung is the lower concave area of lung that rests on the diaphragm | Base |
| The ______ refers to the extreme outermost lower corner of each lung, where the diaphragm meets the ribs | costophrenic angle |
| Radiographic important structures located in the mediastinum are the | Thymus gland, heart and great vessels, trachea and esophagus |
| Air or gas present in this pleural cavity results in a condition called | pneumothorax |
| PA chest, which must be taken with the IR placed crosswise | Hypersthenic |
| Near average body habitus | Hyposthenic |
| General rule for average adult patients is to show a minimum of ____ ribs on a PA chest radiograph | 10 |
| Three reasons why all chest radiographs should be taken in an erect position | Diaphragm is allowed to move down farther, air & fluid levels may be seen, and engorgement/Hyperemia of pulmonary vessels may be prevented |
