| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| List four types of cells in the lungs: | Goblet: Mucus production Type I Pneumocyte ==> macrophage (95%) Type II Pneumocyte ==> produce surfactant Clara cell/Dust ==> macrophages; ingest dust particles |
| What is the histology of the trachea? | Top 1/3 => Stratified Squamous epithelium (protects against abrasion) Middle 1/3 => Mixture Lower => Tall columnar Pseudo-stratified ciliate epithelium |
| What are the muscles needed to breathe in? | Innermost intercostals (contralateral chest wall) External intercostals (ipsilateral chest wall) Diaphragm |
| What are the muscles needed to force air in? | Scalene SCM = Sternocleidomastoid Trapezius Pectoralis Major/Minor |
| What are the muscles needed to breathe out? | Passive = recoil |
| What are the muscles needed to force air out? | Internal/External oblique Rectus abdominus Transverse abdominus Quadratus lumborum |
| What is the difference between a carotid body and a carotid sinus? | Carotid body ===> chemoreceptor Carotid sinus ===> baroreceptor |
| What color is air on an x-ray? | Black "radiolucent" |
| What color is fluid/solid on x-ray? | White "radiopaque" |

| What diseases have pulmonary eosinophilia? | Aspergillosis, Strongyloides |
| What drugs cause pulmonary eosinophilia? | Nitrofurantoin, Sulfonamides |
| What are the risk factors for lung cancer? | Smoking, Radon, 2nd hand smoke, pneumoconiosis (except anthracosis) |
| What diseases have hemoptysis? | Bronchiectasis, bronchitis, pneumonia, TB, lung cancer |
| Where is a Bokdalek hernia? | Back of diaphragm |
| Where is the Morgagni hernia? | Middle of diaphragm |
| What diseases have respiratory acidosis? | Obstructive lung disease |
| What diseases have respiratory alkalosis? | Restrictive lung disease (anxiety, pregnancy, gram (-) sepsis, PE) |
| What diseases have metabolic alkalosis? | Low volume State (vomiting, diuretics, GI blood loss) |
| What diseases have metabolic acidosis? | Acid production (MUDPILES, RTA II, diarrhea) |
| What is the obstructive pattern of blood gases? | ↑ pCO2 --> ↓pH, ↑RR --> ↑pO2 |
| What is the restrictive pattern of blood gases? | ↓ pCO2 --> ↑RR --> ↓pCO2 --> ↑pH |
| What does stridor tell you? | Extrathoracic narrowing => narrows when breath in => neck x-ray |
| What does wheezing tell you? | Intrathoracic narrowing => narrows when breathe out => chest x-ray |
| What does rhonchi tell you? | Mucus in airway => obstructive lung disease |
| What does grunting tell you? | Blows collapsed alveoli open => restrictive lung disease |
| What does dull percussion tell you? | Something b/w airspace and chest wall absorbing sound (fluid or solid) |
| What does hyperresonance tell you? | Lungs hyperinflated with air |
| What does tracheal deviation tell you? | Away from pneumothorax OR toward atelectasis "air-phobic" |
| What does fremitus, egophony, and | Consolidation ==> pathognomonic for pneumonia |
| What is Restrictive lung disease? | Small stiff lungs, trouble breathing in |
| What is Obstructive lung disease? | Big mucus-filled lungs, trouble breathing out |
