what is the general shape of the human body
body habitus
wHAT DOES body habitus determine?
The size, shape, position and movement of the internal organs
What is bounded by the walls of the thorax and extends from the superior thoracic to the inferior thoracic aperture
thoraacic cavity
The _________ seperates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity
diaphram
The thoracic cavity contains
the lungs, and heart: organs of the respiratory, cardiovascular and lymphatic systems. The inferior portion of the esophagus and the thymus gland.
Within the thoracic cavity contains 3 seperate chambers
a single pericardial cavity, and the right and left plueral cavities
the space between the two plueral cavities is known as
the mediastinum
The mediastinum( space between the two plueral cavities) contains
all thoracic structures EXCEPT the lungs and the pleurae
the respiratory system contains
pharynx, trachae, bonchi ans two liungs
a fiberous muscular tube with 16-20 C shaped cartilaginous rings embedded in its walls for greater rigidity.
trachae
The trachea measures ______ in diameter and _______ in length. and its posterior aspect is__________
1/2 inch in diameter and 4 1/2 inches in length. its posterior aspect is flatt
lies in the midline of the body anterior to the esophagus in the neck
trachea
In the throax the trachea is positioned different than in the midline
shifted slighly to the right of the mdline as a result of the arching aorta
the last tracheal cartilage is elongated and has a hook-like process
the carina
the carina ( hook like process) extends
posteriorly on its inferior surface
subdivsions of thebronchial tree*
trachea, primary bronchi, secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles
at the carina the trachea divides or bifurcates
into two lesser tubes, the primary bronchi, one of these bronchi enters the left lung and the other one enters the right lung
is slant, obliquely inferiorly to their enterance in the lungs, where they branch out to form the right and left bronchial branches.
primary bronchi
is shorter and wider and more vertical than the left primary bronchus.
right primary bronchus
because of the more vertical posoition and greater diameter of the right main bronchi.............
foreign bodies entering the trachea are more likely to pass into the right bronchus the the left
after entering the lungs each primary bronchus...
divides, sending branches to each lobe of the lung. 3 to the right lung and 2 to the left lung
further divide and decrease in caliber
secondary bronchi
the bronchi continues to divide into teritary bronchi, then to smaller bronchioles and end at
terminal bronchioles
The extensive branching of the trachea is commonly refered to as
the bronchial tree
the terminal bronchioles with
alveolar ducts
Each duct ends in several
alveolar sacs
the walls of the alveolar sacs are lined with
alveoli
each lung contains millions of
alveloi
oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged by diffusion in
the walls of the alveoli
are the organs of the respiraoty system
lungs
conprise the mechanism for introducing oxygen into the blood and removing carbon dioxide from the blood
lungs
lungs are composed of light, spongy highly elastic substance
parenchyma
the parenchyma ( light, spongy, highly elastic substance) are covered by a
layer of serous membrane
each lung has one and it reaches the above level of the clavicals into the root of the neck
apex
rests on the obliquely placed diaphram, reaches lower in back and at the sides than in the front
base
the right lung is about an inch shorter than the left one because
of the large space occupied by the liver and its broader than the left lung because of its position of the heart
the inferior surface of the lung is ___________
is concave fitting over the diaphram and the lateral margins are thin,
during respiration the lungs move.....
inferiorly for inspiration and superiorly for expiration
during inspiration the lateral magins desend
into the deep recesses of the parietal pleura called the costophrenic angles
the deep recesses of the parietal pleura are called
the castophrenic angles
the mediastinal surface is concave with a depression
hilum
accomidates the bronchi, pulmonary blood vessels, lymph vessels and verves
hilum
the inferior mediastinal surface of the left lung contains a concavity called
the cardiac notch which conforms to the shape of the heart
each lung is enclosed in a double walled, serous membrane sac calleed the
pleura
the inner layer of the pleural sac is called__________ the outer layer is called
inner layer- visceral pleura
outer layer- parietal pleura
each lung is divided into ___________ by deep tissues
lobes
the oblique fissures divide the lungs
into superior and inferior lobes
the right superior lobe is further subdivided by a
horizontal fissure creating a right middle lobe
the left lung has no
horizontal fissure therefore no middle lobe
a tongue shaped process on the anteromedial border of the left lung. It fills space between the chest wall and the heart
lingula
Each of the five lobes divides into
bronchopulmonary segments and sub-divides into smaller units called primary lobules
is the anatomic unit of lung structure and consists of a terminal bronchiole with its expanded alveolar duct and alveolar sac
primary lobules
is the area of the thorax bounded by the sternum anteriorly the spine postiorly and the lungs laterally
mediastinum
strucutres associated with the mediastinum
heart
great vessels
trachea
esophagus
thymus
nerves
lymphatics
fat
fiberous tissue
is part of the digestive canal that connects the pharynx with the stomach
esophagus
is a narrow musculomembranous tube about 9 inches in length
esophagus
lies in front of the vertebral column with its anterior surface in close relation to the trachea, aortic arch, and heart.
esophagus
