Exam 1 Flashcards
(154 cards)
Caval opening
T8
Inferior vena cava and phrenic nerve
Esophageal hiatus
T10
Esophagus
Aortic hiatus
T12
Thoracic duct
Azygous/hemiazygous veins
Aorta
Diaphragm is innervated by
Phrenic nerve (C3, C4, C5 keeps the diaphragm alive)
The paralyzed portion of the hemidiaphragm _ during inspiration
Ascends
Visceral pleura
Covers lungs and adherent to all surfaces
Parietal pleura
Lines the pulmonary cavity
**Costodiaphragmatic recess
“Gutters”
Space where fluid can be pulled
The right primary bronchus is
Shorter, wider, and more vertical
The left primary bronchus is
Longer, thinner, and more horizontal
Bronchopulmonary segments
Discrete anatomical and functional unit
Can be surgically removed without affecting the function of other segments
What provides the nutrition for structures making the root of lung, supporting tissues, and the visceral pleura?
The bronchial arteries
Parasympathetics of the lungs and pleura
Vagus nerve (motor to smooth muscle, bronchoconstrictor, vasodialator, and secretomotor)
Path of the lymphatics in the lungs
superficial: Subpleural lymphatic plexus, bronchopulmonary nodes
Deep: deep bronchopulmonary lymph plexus, intrinsic pulmonary lymph nodes, bronchopulmonary nodes, inferior tracheobronchial nodes, superior tracheobronchial nodes, bronchomediastinal trunk
Lymphatics from the inferior lobe of the left lung drain into
The right superior tracheobronchial nodes
Lung development beings as
Median outgrowth known as laryngotracheal groove
Endoderm gives rise to
Epithelium
Mesoderm gives rise to
Cartilage, smooth muscle, connective tissue
The laryngotracheal groove evaginates to form the
Laryngotracheal diverticulum
The distal portion of the laryngotracheal diverticulum swells to become
The respiratory bud
The respiratory bud divides into right and left bulbs which form
The primary bronchial buds
From weeks 5-28
Primary bronchial bunds split into secondary and tertiary continuing to divide to form the bronchial tree
Bronchopulmonary segments are
Functional divisions of the lung (segmental bronchus and pulmonary artery)
Forms in weeks 7/8
Visceral pleura develops from
Splanchnic mesoderm
