Lower Airway
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what are the two types of lower airways | conducting zone and respiratory zone |
| what are the structures of the lower airway (10) | Trachea, Main stem bronchi, lobar bronchi, segmental bronchi, subsegmental, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs |
| What structures have cartilage | Trachea, main stem bronchi, lobar bronchi, segmental bronchi, and subsegmental bronchi |
| What structures are non-cartilage | Bronchioles and terminal bronchioles |
| What structures are the site of gas exchange | Respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveolar sacs |
| What make up the lamina propria | Gel layer, Sole Layer, Surface goblet cell, Cilia, Smooth muscle, submucosal glands, and parasympathetic nerves |
| What are the angles of the right mainstem bronchus | Right main stem bronchus is 20-30 degrees |
| What are the angles of the left mainstem bronchus | Left main stem bronchus is 45-55 degrees |
| What is significant about the angle of the right mainstem bronchus | since the angle is 20- 30 degrees its a straight shot we can get an ET Tube right in the main stem for intubation or people can very easily aspirate |
| What are the names of the lobes in the right lung. | Upper, Middle, and lower |
| What are the names of the lobes in the left lung | Upper and lower |
| What are the subdivision segments of the right upper lung lobe | Apical, Posterior, and Anterior |
| What are the subdivision segments of the right middle lung lobe | Lateral and Medial |
| What are the subdivision segments of the right lower lung lobe | Superior, Medial basal, Anterior basal, Lateral basal, and Posterior basal |
| What are the subdivision segments of the Left upper lung lobe | Upper division- Apical, Posterior, Anterior Lower Division- (Lingular)- Superior Lingula, Inferior Ligula |
| What are the subdivision segments of the left lower lung lobe | Superior, Anterior medial basal, Lateral basal, Posterior basal |
| What are the names of the right lung fissures | Horizontal Fissure and oblique fissure |
| Where in the right lung is the Horizontal fissure located | The Horizontal Fissure is located between the upper and middle lobe of the right lung |
| Where in the right lung is the Oblique fissure located | The oblique fissure is located between the middle and lower lobe of the right lung |
| What are the names of the left lung fissures | The left lung only has the Oblique fissure |
| Where in the left lung is the Oblique fissure located | The oblique fissure in the left lung is between the upper and lower lobe |
