16
Q

Bifurcation of trachea at what level?

A

Sternal angle

17
Q

What are the structures between the tracheal rings called on the trachea?

A

Annular ligaments

18
Q

Surfactant secreted by cells in alveolar walls, what is the purpose of this?

A

Reduces surface tension and keeps alveolars from collapsing

19
Q

What are differences between right and left bronchi?

A

Right is wider, shorter and runs more vertically

20
Q

What is the Innervation of the trachealis muscle?

A

Vagus nerve

21
Q

What nerves regulate cough reflex?

A

Vagal afferent nerves

22
Q

What is Arnold’s reflex?

A

Cough when clean your ears. Afferent nerves carried by auricular branch of vagus nerve innervates external acoustic meatus

23
Q

Bronchial arteries branch from descending aorta and run along the branching bronchi to supply blood to all the lung tissue except ?

A

Alveoli

24
Q

Pulmonary arteries supply what kind of blood from the heart to lungs?

A

Deoxygenated

25
Q

Right bronchial veins flow into?

A

Azygos vein

26
Q

Left bronchial veins flows into?

A

accessory hemiazygos or left superior intercostal veins

27
Q

Sternal angle at what level

A
