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.
