36
What are the 4 impressions found on the right lung?
superior vena cava, brachiocephalic trunk, esophagus, azygous vein
37
What are the 4 impressions found on the left lung?

B: bronchus A: pulmonary artery V: pulmonary vein
39
What is the tracheobronchial tree?
sequential branching of respiratory tract
40
What does the trachea bifurcate into?

secondary and lobular bronchi
42
How many secondary bronchi does the right primary bronchus have?
3
43
How many secondary bronchi does the left primary bronchus have?
2
44
What do secondary bronchi divide into?
2-5 tertiary/segmental bronchi
45
What is found on the trachea?
C-shaped hyaline cartilage rings
46
What are C-shaped hyaline cartilage rings connected by?
annular ligaments

1. esophagus 2. trachealis muscle 3. mucosa 4. cartilage
49
What is the function of the trachealis muscle?
it helps the esophagus push food down
50
What is the right primary bronchus divided into?
superior (3), middle (2) and inferior (5)

superior (5) and inferior (5)
52
Where is aspiration of a foreign body most likely to lodge?
in the right primary bronchus
53
Why do foreign bodies get lodged in the right primary bronchus?
because of the straighter trajectory and larger width
54
Where do very small foreign bodies may become lodged?
in secondary bronchi (especially inferior due to gravity)
