Final Exam - Last Schmidt Lecture Flashcards
(66 cards)
List the brief patho of emphysematous lungs:
- Loss of trypsin inhbition leads to loss of alveoli and thinned walls
- Loss of alveoli also means loss of alveolar capillaries (departitioning)
- Air becomes trapped in large stretched out alveoli
What is the specific enzyme that is a part of the trypsin protease family that destroys elastic recoli tissue?
Neutrophil Elastase
RV is greatly elarged in ephysema, how does this affect the other lung volumes?
- TLC enlarges
- All other lungs volumes are “squeezed” by the enlarging RV
- Eventually the IC may only be comprised of Vt (cannot inspire deeply)
- Vt is larger than normal due to alveolar deadspace (need more volume to overcome deadspace)
What happens to the lung volumes in restrictive lung disease?
All volumes are decreased
What does increasing RV in emphysema tell you about disease severity?
The larger RV gets, the worse the disease
Where can large particles be caught after inhaling them?
They get stuck in the back of the nasopharynx and probably digested in the stomach
Why can’t we filter out smoke through the nose?
They have a small mass and therefore a low inertia, so they don’t get slammed into the muscous membranes or hairpin turn at the back of the nose
What causes us to sneeze?
Activation of the maxillary division (V2) of the trigeminal nerve containing irritant receptors transmits signals to the brain to sneeze
How can we cause lateral inhibition to stop a sneeze?
Manipulate the nearby sensors
1. Drink water
2. Pinching the upper lip
Label the image
- Vagus Nerve (X)
- Left inferior laryngeal nerve
- Left recurrent laryngeal nerve
- Right inferior laryngeal nerve
- Right recurrent laryngeal nerve
Which nerves innervates the laryngeal muscles?
Inferior laryngeal nerve - 5/6 muscles
External branch of superior laryngeal nerve - cricothyroid muscle
The superior laryngeal nerve is a branch of what?
The vagus nerve
What nerve provides sensory coverage of the larynx?
Internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve
Label the image
- Cricothyroid muscle
- Left Inferior laryngeal nerve
- External branch of superior laryngeal nerve
- Internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve
What may be difficult if the cricothyroid muscle is contracted?
Intubation
Label the image
What is its function?
Galen’s anastomosis - where inferior and superior laryngeal nerve meet
No signals are sent between the 2 nerves
What provides sensory innervation to the trachea?
Inferior laryngeal nerve (branch of vagus nerve)
Label the image
- Thyrohyoid membrane
- Foramen for internal superior laryngeal nerve
Label the image and their function
- Superior pharyngeal muscles (4)
- Middle pharyngeal muscles (2)
- Inferior pharyngeal muscles (2)
Squeeze the upper airway
List the suprahyoid muscles:
- Diagastric muscle; Anterior and posterior bellies
- Stylohyoid muscle
- Mylohyoid muscle
- Geniohyoid muscle
Label the image and what they attach to
1a: Diagastric muscle; anterior belly - attaches hyoid to mandible
1b: Diagastric muscle; posterior belly - attaches hyoid to mastoid process
2: Stylohyoid - connects styloid to hyoid
3: Mylohyoid - inside of mandible to hyoid
4: Geniohyoid - nside of mandible to hyoid
How many tendons does the diagastric muscle have?
How does it attach to the hyoid bone?
- 3 tendons
- Fastened to connective tissue sling that is over intermediate tendon
How can you tell if a human skull is real in an anatomy lab?
Real skulls have broken styloid processes almost always

- Geniohyoid
- Mylohyoid
