Test 2: respiratory Flashcards
4 types of epithelial cells in upper respiratory tract
Stratified squamous
Transitional
Ciliated respiratory
Olfactory
normal fetal lungs will
sink
dark red purple
rubbery
atelectasis- collapsed alveoli
no air
collapsed alveoli
atelectasis
what do normal post natal lungs look like
Aerated lung tissue is
pink, spongy, & floats in
water or formalin
Parietal layer of pulmonary pleura include
costal,
mediastinal, & diaphragmatic
pleurae
air in birds move
unidirectional flow
conducting airways- trachea and bronchi
can see cartilage
transitional airways (bronchioles)
Basement membrane, smooth muscle, connective tissue (no cartilage or glands)
has club cells that produce immune modulator- surfactant, antioxidants, antibacterial ect.- can act as stem cell to repopulate surrounding cells if injured
alveoli
alveoli are made of what type of cells
Type I pneumocytes (flat)
Type II pneumocytes (cuboidal)- act as stem cells
two routes of exposure to lungs
aerogenous- airborne microbes, particulates, toxic
gases
hematogenous- circulating microbes, toxins, emboli
lines airways, traps particles/microbes, propelled to pharynx for
elimination
mucus
kill/opsonize microbes, prevent colonization in respiratory tract
antimicrobial proteins
IgA, IgG, defensins, cathelicidins, lactoferrin, lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, complement
proteins, collectins, etc.
engulf particles/microbes, trigger inflammation if injurious agent cannot be contained
ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES
three defenses of respiratory tract
mucus
antimicrobial proteins
alveolar macrophages
Wry nose (midline deviation) BRACHYGNATHIA superior/inferior (shortened jaws)
PALATOSCHISIS (midline defect of hard & soft palate)
BRACHYGNATHIA
superior/inferior (shortened jaws)
PALATOSCHISIS
(midline defect of hard & soft palate)
Palatoschisis
soft palate) with feed material in nasopharynx
Sequela: aspiration pneumonia
Bilateral choanal atresia
there is thin bone blocking nasal from throat- can’t breathe through the nose
Small epiglottis enveloped by aryepiglottic fold
epiglottic entrapment- smaller then normal and get stuck
4 issues with brachycephalic airway syndrome
Stenotic nares
- Overlong soft palate
- Hypoplastic trachea
- Everted laryngeal saccules
auditory tube/
guttural pouch inflammation
EUSTACHITIS
