Q

what is the function of the pulmonary ligament?

A

provide dead space into which the :

25
whats the function of pleural recessed?
allow the lungs to expand during deep inspirations
26
where are the pleural recesses found?
costodiaphragmatic recess : between costal and diaphragmatic pleura INFERIOR margin of the pleura --> inferior because diaphragm is inferior Costomediastinal recess : between costal and mediastinal pleura ANTERIOR margin of the pleura ( anterior because mediastinum is anterior )
27
whats the other name of costodipahragmatic recess?
costophrenic angle
28
what happens to the costophrenic angle during pleural effusions?
during pleural effusion hydrothorax --> fluid in the pleural cavity --> the angle gets obliterated because gravity pulls the fluid down to the costophrenic angle
29
what is the level of insertion of the needle in thoracocentesis?
9th intercostal spaces
30
describe the thoracocentesis procedure?
it is inserted in the 9th intercostal spaces in the MID AXILLARY LINE to avoid inferior border of the lung because after 9th theres no lung
31
whats the ending level of the lung in the mid CLAVICULAR line? (anteriorly)
6th intercostal spaces
32
whats the ending level of the lung in the mid Axillary line ( laterally )
8th intercostal space because its 8th when we do thoracocentesis in the mid axillary line we go below 8th to the 9th to avoid the lung
33
whats the ending level of the lung in the back ( posteriorly )
10th intercostal spaces
34
whats the ending level of the pleura in the mid CLAVICULAR line? (anteriorly)
the pleura is little bit lower 8th intercostal spaces
35
whats the ending level of the pleura in the mid AXILLARY line? (laterally )
10th intercostal spaces here we dont avoid the pleura in thoracocentesis because we are trying to inject the needle in it to drain the fluid so the 9th intercostal space is still within the pleura because it ends at 10th costal cartilage
36
whats the ending level of the pleura in the back ( posteriorly )
12th intercostal space
37
describe the costo mediastinal recess
lies along the anterior border of the left lung ( remember mediastinum = anterior ) overlies the heart during full inspiration it becomes occupied by the LINGULA of the left lung
38
where does the costo mediastinum recess lie at?
anterior ends of the left 4th and 5th intercostal spaces
39
whats the normal pressure inside the pleural cavity?
less than atmospheric
40
whats the normal pressure inside the lungs?
same as atmospheric
41
what happens when the air enters pleural cavity?
pressure in the pleural cavity becomes similar to the atmospheric --> lung collapse
42
what could cause lung collapse or pneumothorax?
stab wound puncture of the visceral layer --> ruputre of bullae in emphysema for example
43
whats tension pneumothorax?
air enters and cannot leave so it accumulates inside
44
what does the tension pneumothorax do the mediastinum?
pushes the mediastinum to the other side compressing the opposite lung ( the normal lung ) --> the obstructed lung will inflate and press the other normal lung
45
whats chest tube procedure?
procedure of removing air or excess fluid from pleural cavity
46
where is the incision made?
5th or 6th intercostal spaces in the mid AXILLARY LINE ( MEDIALLY)
47
whats the risk of chest tube?
long thoracic nerve maybe injured resulting in winged scapula
48
whats the site of the lung?
pleural cavity and it is separated by mediastinum from the lung on the opposite side
49
describe the shape of the lung?
conical shaped has apex , base 2 surfaces ( costal and medial --> thick and round ) 3 borders : anterior ( SHARP) , posterior ( THICK) m inferior
50
describe the costal surface of the lung?
it is on the side of the sternum and costal cartilages , ribs ,intercostal muscles and sternocostalis
51
what does the medial surface divide into to?
vertebral part : lies behind the hilum and related to the sides of vertebrale bodies and intervertebral disks, sympathetic trunk, splanchnic nerves mediastinal part : anterior part and it differs between the right and left lungs
52
what are the impressions on the right lung?
Pericardium --> right atrium ( because right atrium forms the right border of the heart ) Inferior vena cava Superior vena cava ( upper part of the hilum ) : continuous with the groove of right brachiocephalic which is coming from above Groove of arch of azygous vein Azygous vein impression Trachea and right vagus nerve esophagus impression (its anterior to the azygous vein impression)
53
what are the impressions on the left lung?
Pericardium impression --> left ventricle and left auricle Pulmonary trunk and thymus gland groove for AORTIC ARCH --> Above hilum which is also related to left vagus and left phrenic and left superior intercostal vein Descending aorta groove left subclavian artery left common carotid Area of relation to ESOPHAGUS ( infront of the descending aorta ) and THORACIC DUCT and LEFT recurrent laryngeal nerve Esophagus --> in front of descending aorta
54
what is lingula?
tongue like projection of the upper lobe at cardiac notch corresponds to the right middle lobe
55
where is the cardiac notch found?
upper lobe of the left lung and its due to the heart
56
how many fissures found on each lung?
left lung --> 1 fissure , oblique fissure dividing it into upper and lower right lung --> 2 fissures , olbique and horizental dividing it into upper and middle and lower
57
where does the oblique fissure begins?
posterior border 2.5 inches below the apex 1 inch from median plane follows the medial border of the scapula when the arm is abducted
58
where does the oblique fissure opposite in relation to the spine?
T3
59
whats the extension of oblique fissure?
downward and forward
60
where does the obliqure fissure cut in relation to ribs?
6th costochondral junction
61
where does the horizontal fissure begin?
anterior border end at oblique fissure in midaxillary lnine
62
at what costal level does it extend and end?
4th costal cartilage and extend to the 4th rib
63
what is the hilum?
site where structures enter or leave the lung
64
what is the root?
structures passing through the hilum connecting mediastinum to the lung
65
what is the most superior structure in the hilum?
pulmonary artery
66
whats the most posterior structure ?
bronchi
67
what is the most anterior and inferior structure?
pulmonary veins
68
how many bronchi are found in the right hilum?
2 bronchi because the right bronchi divides before entering hilum
69
what constitutes the vascular nutritive system of the pulmonary tissue ?
bronchial arteries and veins
70
what do the bronchial arteries and veins interconnect with?
Pulmonary arteries and veins
71
from where does the bronchial arteries originate?
thoracic aorta or one of its branches
72
what bronchial artery normally arises from intercostal artery and which intercostal artery does it arive from?
Single right bronchial artery normally arise from the THIRD intercostal artery though sometimes it originate from the upper left bronchial artery
73
from where does other bronchial arteries arise from?
two left bronchial arteries arise form the ANTERIOR SURFACE OF THE AORTA DIRECTLY
74
describe the bronchopulmonary segments?
-functionally independent unit of lung tissue largest subdivision of a lobe pyramid shaped with the apex at the lung root receives its own segmental bronchus ( tertiary ) has separate arterial supply from the other segments Surrounded by connective tissue containing intersegmental vein which drain the SEGMENTS can be removed surgically without affecting the function of other segments.
74
wheres the apical segment of the lower lobe found?
scapular spine ---> where it also can be heard
75
what is the most dependent part of the lung when lying supine?
lower lobe specifically the apical segment
76
whats segmentectomy?
Affected segment may be removed surgically without disrupting the surrounding lung
77
whats bronchography?
technique used to visualize the outline of the trachea and bronchi performed after introducing a contrast medium into respiratory tract
