10 |
|
Anatomically the superior lob of the lung lies mostly_____ while the inferior lobe lies mostly____ |

|
What travels with the segmental bronchi through the middle of the broncho-pulmonary segment |
Segmental bronchi and artery |
|
Lymphatic drainage of the lungs is collected by what set of lymph nodes |
Pulmonary to hilar |
|
Lung and viscera pleura are insensitive to somatic-type stimuli except for |
stretch or distension |
|
primary bronchus is more likely to receive a foreign body on what side and why? |
Right main bronchus, it is wider and straighter continuation of the trachea |
|
Another name for the right upper lobar bronchus and why? |
Epiarterial, it lies above the right pulmonary artery |
|
hilum of the lung, what pulmonary structure generally lies most anterior and posterior, and superior |
Pulmonary veins are anterior, bronchus - are posterior, and pulmonary arteries superior in relation to the hilum. |
|
Vertebral body level and sternal level that the trachea bifurcates |
Sternal angle, 4th thoracic vertebral body level |
|
Upward pointing projection on the inside of the trachea at its bifurcation into primary bronchi? |
Carina |
|
Nerve anterior to the root of the lungs |
Phrenic |
|
nerve posterior to the root of the lung |
Vagus |
|
component of the autonomic nervous system is found on the lateral sides of the vertebral bodies in the thorax |
Sympathetic chain and greater splanchnic nerve |
|
Needle is placed here to avoid intercostal NVB while removing fluid from costodiaphragmatic recess |
Through middle of the space, using the superior border of the rib below as a guide. |
|
In a unilateral sucking or open pneumothorax, what does the mediastinum and inflated lung do during inspiration? |
Deviate to the uninjured side. (deviate opposite of the opening in the thoracic wall) |
|
Unilater tension pneumothorax, meddiastinum and inflated lung do what on expiration |
Remain deviated to the side opposite the opening in the thoracic wall. |
|
What happens to the shape and volume of the thoracic cavity on inspiration |
All volumes increase, thus pressure decrease within the thoracic cavity. The ribcage elevates increasing the side-to-side diameter (bucket handle) and the Anterior posterior diameter (pump handle), while the diaphragm contracts and drops, increasing the superior-inferior diameter. |
|
Bony landmark divides the superior and inferior mediastina? |
Sternal angle |
|
Thymus is found in which divisions of the mediastinum |
Superior and anterior |

heart |
|
What structures border the thoracic duct in the posterior mediastinum |
Aorta, vertebran bodies, esophagus |
|
What is the name for the thin membrane which lines the inside of the fibrous pericardium? |
parietal layer of serous pericardium |
|
What is the procedure called when the pericardial sac is tapped with a needle for removal of fluid? |
pericardiocenthesis |
|
