| pulmonary capilary networks | fed off of the pulmonary arteries; surrond the alveoli |
| pulmonary veins | conveys freshly oxygenated blood from the respiratory zones of the lungs to the heart |
| bronchial arteries | provide systemic blood to the lung tissues, arise from the aorta & enter the lungs at the hilus |
| pulmonary plexus | the transport vehicle for nerve fibers to enter each lung; located on the lung root & run along the bronchial tubes & blood vessels within the lungs |
| pleurae | forma thin, double-layered serosa |
| parietal pleura | covers the thoracic wall & superior face of the diaphragm; continues aroung the heart & between the lungs, forming the lateral walls of the mediasinal enclosure & snugly enclosing the root of the lung |
| visceral/pulmonary pleura | an extension of the pleura that covers the external lung surface, dipping into & lining its fissures |
| pleurisy | inflammati of the pleurae; often results fm pneumonia; pleural surfaces become dry & rough or over fluidized |
| name the two phases of pulmonary ventilation | inspiration & expiration |
| inspiration | period when air flows into the lungs |
| expiration | period when gases exit the lungs |
| intrapulmonary pressure | (Palv) pressure within the alveoli of the lungs (rises & falls with the phases of breathing) |
| intrapleural pressure | (Pip) pressure within the pleural cavity; always about 4 mm Hg less than the pressure in the alveoli |
| fluids move from | high to low pressure |
| transpulmonary pressure | the difference between teh intrapulmonary & intrapleural pressures (Palv - Pip); keeps the airspaces of the lungs open/keeps lungs from collapsing |
| atelectasis | lung collase, occurs when air enters the pleural cavity through a chest wounds, or a rupture of the visceral pleura which allows air to enter the pleural cavity from th rspiratory trat |
