Term
lung surfaces
Definition
-medial
-costal
-apex
-base
Term
medial surface
Definition
-hilum-region where pulmonary vessels and bronchi pass into lung tissue
Term
costal surface
Definition
in contact with ribs
Term
apex
Definition
-extends above clavicle
Term
base
Definition
-concave
-fits over convex dome of diaphragm
Term
pleura
Definition
-double walled sac
-encloses and protects lungs
-composed of serous membrane that secretes pleural fluid
Term
visceral pleura
Definition
-adheres directly to surface of lung
Term
parietal pleura
Definition
lines walls of thoracic cavity
Term
pleural cavity
Definition
space between visceral and parietal which contains pleural fluid
Term
midclavicular line
Definition
lung rib 6 pleura rib 8
Term
midaxillary line
Definition
lung rib 8 pleura rib 10
Term
midscapular line
Definition
lung rib 10 pleura rib 12
Term
intercostal space for puncture
Definition
9
Term
alveoli
Definition
-functional units of lung
-350 million alveoli per lung
-type I and II cells
-macrophages
-capillaries
Term
type I cells
Definition
simple squamous epithelial
Term
type II cells
Definition
produce detergent like sufactant prevents sticking
Term
lobes
Definition
left 2
right 3
Term
bronchopulmonary segments supplied by
Definition
tertiary bronchi
pulmonary arterioles/venules
Term
diaphragm
Definition
-thin, dome shaped sheet of skeletal muscle
-separates thoracic and abdominal cavities
-supplied by phrenic nerve
-contains openings for aorta, IVC, and esophagus
Term
intercostal muscles
Definition
internal and external layers of skeletal muscles which help alter size of thoracic cavity
Term
control of breathing
Definition
nervous system and peripheral chemoreceptors
Term
nervous system control
Definition
-medulla/pons are respiratory centers
-hypothalamus has input
-motor neurons contract diaphragm/intercostal muscles
-baroreceptors
Term
peripheral chemoreceptors
Definition
carotid body and aortic bodies respond to changes in pH via CO2 levels
-CN IX and X transmit message to brainstem
Term
air flows from
Definition
high to low pressure
Term
pressure can be altered by changing the size of the
Definition
thoracic cavity
Term
inspiration
Definition
-diaphragm contracts- lowers
-intercostal muscles contract-elevate ribs
-volume of throacic cavity increases, pressure decreases, air fills lungs
Term
forced expiration
Definition
abdominal muscles contract and push organs upward to decrease size of thoracic cavity
