Respiratory Lecture 2

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Medial surface of the lungs   (hilum) region where pulmonary vessels and bronchi pass into lung tissue  
🗑
Costal surface of lungs   in contact with ribs, anterior surface  
🗑
Apex of lungs   superior most, extends above the clavicle  
🗑
Base of lungs   inferior most, fits over convex dome of the diaphragm  
🗑
Pleura   double walled sac which encloses and protects the lungs. composed of a serous membrane which secretes pleural fluid  
🗑
Viseral pleura   adheres directly to the surface of the lung  
🗑
Parietal pleura   lines the walls of the thoracic cavity  
🗑
Pleural cavity   the space between the visceral and parietal pleural membranes which contains pleural fluid for lubrication  
🗑
Pleurisy   infection of the pleural membranes  
🗑
Midclavicular line: where does the lung end? where does the pleura end? where can you remove pleural fluid from?   Lung: rib 6, Pleura: rib 8, remove from: rib 7  
🗑
Midaxillary line: where does the lung end? where does the pleura end? where can you remove pleural fluid from?   Lung: rib 8, Pleura: rib 10, remove from: rib 9  
🗑
Midscapular line: where does the lung end? where does the pleura end? where can you remove pleural fluid from?   Lung: rib 10, Pleura: rib 12, remove from: rib 11  
🗑
What happens if you aim too low while trying to remove pleural fluid on the left side?   you'll hit the spleen  
🗑
How many lobes are on the right side?   3: superior, middle, inferior  
🗑
How many lobes are on the left side?   2: superior, inferior  
🗑
Bronchoplumonary segments   smaller divisions of the lobes of lung tissue  
🗑
What supplies each bronchopulmonary segment?   tertiary bronchus, pulmonary arteriole and pulmonary venule  
🗑
How many alveoli/lung are there?   approximately 350 million per lung  
🗑
Structure of alveoli   -small grape-like clusters of sacs where gas exchange occurs -composed of type I and type II cells  
🗑
Type I cells   located in alveoli-simple squamous cells  
🗑
Type II cells   located in alveoli- cells that produce a "detergent-like" substance called surfactant which prevents alveolar walls from sticking together and collapsing  
🗑
Surfactant   prevents alveolar walls from sticking together and collapsing  
🗑
Main muscle of respiration   diaphragm  
🗑
What innervates th diaphragm?   phrenic nerve (originates from C3, C4, C5)  
🗑
Diaphragm   -thin dome shaped sheet of skeletal muscle -seperates thoracic and abdominal cavities  
🗑
Hiatus   openings in the diaphragm that allow for the passage of the aorta, the inferior vena cava and the esophagus from the thoracic cavity to the abdominal cavity  
🗑
Where is the respiratory center located?   hypothalmus  
🗑
What controls contraction of the diaphragm and intercoastal muscles?   CNS and PNS motor neurons  
🗑
Where are the motor neurons?   upper motor neuron from CNS (frontal lobe) and lower motor neuron in ventral gray horn of spinal cord  
🗑
What do baroreceptors respond to?   pressure changes, stretch, temperature changes  
🗑
How does the hypothalmus affect the rate of breathing besides being the respiratory center?   other things controlled by hypothalmus may also affect rate of breathing; emotions, stress, pain, etc.  
🗑
Peripheral chemoreceptors   -coracoid body (near bifurcation) and aortic bodies (near aortic arch) respond to changes in pH (due to CO2) levels -CN IX and X transmit messae to brain stem  
🗑
How does CO2 affect the rate of respiration?   CO2 levels increase, pH decreases, respiration rate increases *rate of respiration is affected by the amount of CO2 in the body, NOT by the amount of oxygen you need  
🗑
Pneumothorax   introduction of air into the plueral cavity due to stabbing, rib fracture, attempt to insert a tube into subclavian vein, etc. causes the lung to collapse  
🗑
Inspiraion   (movement of air into lungs) acheived through contraction of the diaphragm (flatten/lower dome) and contraction of the intercoastal muscles (ribs move up and out-elevtion of ribs)  
🗑
Expiration   (movement of air out of lungs) acheived through passive recoil (muscles relax) and forced expiration (contraction of specific muscles)  
🗑
Passive elastic recoil   -expiration by relaxation of muscles -relaxation of skeletal muscle of the diaphragm (it rises) -relaxation of intercoastals (ribs move down and inward) -result: decreases vertical dimension of the thoracic cavity, increases pressure, air moves out  
🗑
Forced expiration   -contraction of specific muscles -abdominal muscles contract and push organs upward, further decreases size of the thoracic cavity to force more air out.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
