parts of the respiratory zone
- Respiratory bronchiole
- Alveolar duct
- Alveolar sac
- Alveoli
which parts of the respiratory system has no cartilage
terminal bronchiole, respiratory bronchiole
where in the respiratory system is serous mucous glands present
trachea and bronchus
what does the alveolo-capillary membrane consist of
surfactant, alveolar epithelium, capillary endothelium, tissue in the interalveolar septum
what is the thin portion of respiratory membrane
basement membranes of the epithelial and endothelial cells fuse
thick portion
basement membrane separated by interstitial tissues
Bronchial arteries
arise from the aorta, 1 on right 2 on left
where do bronchial veins drain into
azygos and posterior intercostal veins
where is the oblique fissure
extends from the spine TV2 to 6th costal cartilage anteriorly
where is the horizontal fissure
extends from oblique fissure along the 4th rib and costal cartilage anteriorly
lobes in left and right lung
3 right, 2 left
what is the pleura
a serous membrane that surrounds the lung
visceral pleura
adherent to lung
parietal pleura
adheres to surface of thoracic wall
pleural cavity
potential space between visceral and parietal pleura
pleural recess
potential space where 2 adjacent parietal pleura are in contact
costodiaphragmatic and costomediastinal
is the visceral pleura sensitive to pain and touch
no
