35
Kinetic theory of gases
gasses are composed of large numbers of individual molecules that engage in unceasing motion. When the molecules are placed in a vessel, they move about randomly and at high speeds, colliding with one another and with the walls of the vessel.

56
What is the trachea composed of
16 to 20 horse shoe shaped rings of hyaline cartilage that is separated by a small space that is occupied by a fibroelastic membrane. The wring is incomplete in the back where the trachea has direct contact with the esophagus. The intervening space between the ends of the tracheal rights is occupied by fibrous tissue and smooth muscle.
57
What is the trachea connected to
The first tracheal cartilage is slightly larger than the rest and it is connected with the inferior border of the cricoid cartilage of the larynx by means of cricotracheal ligaments.
The last tracheal cartilage bifurcates, giving rise to the main stem bronchi.
58

The fibrous membrane consists of two layers.
One passes over the inner surface and one passes over the outer surface of the cartilaginous rings.
59
Trachea

Few mammary vessels and lymph nodes
84
Middle mediastinum contains....

86
Lung tissue is passive and....
Can not exert any force except that provided by the elastic properties of the lung, part of which can be accounted for by tissue elasticity
87
Properties of the alveoli
| The pulmonary alveolar epithelium....
Lines the alveoli is a thin tissue and the nuclei of the cells protrude into the air spaces.
88
Alveoli
| Surface tension
A supportive property on the surface of a liquid. An apparent tension in an actually nonexistent surface film due to attractive properties of the liquid molecules
89
How does the surface tension behaves like....
Stretched elastic, constantly trying to shorten and to resist further stretching.
90
Surface tension accounts for two opposing paradoxical properties....
Tendency of the alveoli to collapse
Tendency to collapse is responsible for about two thirds of the elasticity of lung tissue.
91
How does surface tension decrease
Type II alveolar cells produce a detergent like substance called pulmonary surfactant which intersperses with the liquid molecules on the alveolar surface.
Proper balance between alveolar fluid surface tension and surfactant is essential for normal respiratory function.
92
Right lung...
Larger than the left and is shorter and broader due to the liver which occupies the right abdominal cavity which forces the dome of the diaphragm higher on that side and accounts for the shorter lung
93

108
Intrapleural space
The fluid filled space between the visceral and parietal pleurae, which is actually nonexistent but potential space between the pleurae.
109
The lungs have a tendency to collapse and pull away from the thoracic walls and can be accounted for by two factors....
First the inherent elasticity of lung tissue resists expansion during inhalation which accounts for about one fourth to one third of the elasticity of the lungs.
Second the surface tension in the fluid that lines the alveoli produces a tendency for the alveoli (and the lungs) to collapse.
110
How are the lungs linked
To the thoracic walls by way of the pleural membranes
111
What is pleural linkage
Movements of the thoracic walls are transmitted indirectly by the intrapleural fluids to the lungs
112
Throughout every breath cycle the lung surfaces are held tightly incontact with what...
The inner surface of the thoracic walls
113
What happens in the potential intrapleural spaces
The membranes and vascular tissues that constitute the pleurae constantly absorb gases and fluids that enter the potential intrapleural spaces which generates a sub atmospheric pressure that binds the visceral and parietal pleural membranes together
114
Intrapleural fluid pressure
Negative pressure of the intrapleural fluid has a value of about -10 to -12 mm Hg that acts as the linking force between the pleurae and is the force that links the lungs to the thoracic walls.
115
What happens in the visceral pleurae
The continuous absorption of in trapleural fluids and gases takes place during the action of inhalation and exhalation because the capillary pressure of the pulmonary system is about 7mm Hg less than the capillary pressure of the thoracic system.
116
The sub atmospheric intrapleural fluid pressure is
The force that acts to bind the pleural membrane tightly to one another

It is a complex structure receiving muscular contributions from both sides of the body.
183
Intercostal muscles
Located between the ribs.
Divided into the external intercostal and the internal intercostal
184
External intercostals
Are a more dominant and stronger group of muscles that the internal intercostals.
11 paired
Occupy the space between the ribs
Course downward and lateral on either side of the vertebral column.
As they approach the central thoracic wall, they become less muscular and more aponeurotic.
185
Internal intercostals
Lie deep to the external intercostals
11
Occupy an area extending from the anterior limits of the intercostal spaces to the angle of the rib posteriorly where they are continued with the vertebral column as thin aponeuroses.
The area just lateral to the vertebral column is devoid of internal intercostal muscles, while the area immediately lateral to the sternum contains muscle fibers of just the internal intercostal muscles.

Inferior originates by means of aponeuroses fro the spinous process of thoracic vertebrae eleven and twelve and from lumbar vertebrae one, two and three. Insert into the inferior borders of ribs eight through twelve.
190
Action of the diaphragm
Contraction pulls the central tendon downward and forward, the lungs are stretched producing a negative alveolar pressure. Decrease in volume and increase in pressure with in the abdominal cavity.
The descending diaphragm acts like a piston, compressing the abdominal viscera and causing them to be displaced downward and forward against the abdominal wall. As a result the abdominal wall may be distended during inhalation
191
During inhalation the muscle portion of the diaphragm ...
Shortens and the diaphragm descends but without any substantial change in its curvature
