Q

Accessory respiratory muscles

A

Intercostal muscles
Scalene muscles
Sternocleidomastoid
Serratus anterior

24
Q

Expiration

A

Breathe out
Diaphragm relaxes
Thoracic walls gets smaller

25
Inspiration alveoli
Alveoli and airways get bigger and the elastic tissue stretches
26
Expiration alveoli
Relaxation of elastic tissue recoils alveoli and airways go back to resting position
27
Inspiration Boyle’s law
Volume increases Pressure decreases Lungs expand
28
Expiration Boyle’s law
Volume decreases Pressure increases Lungs shrink
29
2 Right lungs: 3 lobes, 3 2° bronchi
30
label: terminal bronchiole bronchiole alveolar sac bronchus respiratory bronchiole
31
label: respiratory bronchiole alveolar duct terminal bronchiole
32
where is the respiratory zone?
33
where is the conducting zone?
34
difference between bronchus and bronchiole?
bronchus: cartilage
35
36
trachea
37
1° right and left bronchus
38
2° R/L bronchus
39
3° R/L broncus
40
bronchopulmonary segment
subdivision of lobe supplied by: 3° bronchi pulmonary artery/vein

44
does the diaphragm move up or down during contraction?
down
45
does the diaphragm move up or down during relaxation?
up
46
does thoracic volume inc/dec when relaxed? does thoracic volume inc/dec when contracted?
relaxed diaphragm (up): decrease in volume contracted diaphragm (down): increase in volume
47
phrenic nerve (C3-5)
48
what nerve innervates the diaphragm?
phrenic nerve (C3-5)
49
visceral pleura * to the left (dark space) is the pneumothorax (air in chest cavity - pleural space)
50
R 2° bronchus (inferior lobe)
51
VAGUS parasympathetic --> bronchoconstriction parasympathetic nerve is VAGUS Blocking the vagus nerve will stop parasymp from causing bronchoconstriction and open airways
