lungs
air filled organs which normally float on water
lungs composed of
fine meshwork of airways
lungs expand ....
lungs contact...
passively due to change in volume of thorax, inflow of oxygen rich air
due to elastic tissue throughout lungs, outflow of carbon dioxide rich air
cardiac notch
3rd to 5th intercostal space
where lungs do not separate heart from ribcage
lung base
diaphragmatic surface
concave surface adjacent to diaphragm
apex of lung
adjacent to thoracic inlet
costal surface of lung
convex
medial surface of lung
indent by heart
3rd to 6th rib
root of lung
composted of grouped principle bronchus, pulmonary artery, veins and nerves wrapped in pleural covering
location of tracheobronchial lymph nodes
enter lungs at hilus
number of lung lobes in dog
2 left
4 right
number of lung lobes in horse
2 left
3 right
lobes defined as
structures supplied by a secondary lobar bronchus
connective tissue septa
subdivide lobes into lobules
contain elastin, collagen, blood vessels
consistancy of septa in ruminants and pig
thick
consistancy of septa in horse
thin and incomplete
consistancy of septa in dog
almost non exsistant
left lung has ___ lobes
2- cranial and caudal
cranial left lung lobe
has cranial and caudal portions in species other than horse
right lung has ___ lobes
3-4
right lung is... than left lung
larger
cranial lobe of right lung is ventilated by
tracheal bronchus in ruminants and pig
middle lobe of right lung
not present in horses
separated from cranial lobe by cardiac notch
caudal lobe of right lung
in contact with diaphragm
accessory lobe of right lung
irregular in shape
located in mid ventral region of right lung
pulmonary arteries
oxygen depleted blood from right ventricle goes to pulmonary trunk to left an right pulmonary arteries to lungs
follow bronchi down to level of alveolus
pulmonary veins
oxygen rich blood from lungs goes to left atrium
variable number, usually one from each lobe some anastomosis before reaching heart
mostly follow bronchi
also provide venous from bronchi
bronchial artery
arises from aorta to supply bronchi and connective tissue
lymphatic drainage
2 networks
superficial netowrk- drains subpleural tissue into vessel at hilus of lung
deep network- drains deeper tissues via vessels running along airways from level of bronchioles
both sets merge at hilus-- tracheobronchial lymph nodes--- cranial mediastinal nodes---trachael lymphatic vessel or thoracic duct
lymphatic drainage responsible for
removal of material phagocytosed by macrophages in airway
mounting immune response to infectious agents
innervation of lungs
autonomic supply (sympathetic and parasympathetic ) from pulmonary plexus within mediastinum
efferent innervation of lungs
regulates activity of bronchial glands
smooth muscle of bronchi- broncho constriction or dilation
afferent innervation of lungs supply from
stretch receptors, reflex modification of respiration
mechanoreceptors- reflex coughing
the lungs of birds
lungs dorsally located against vertebrae and ribs, do not wrap around heart
expansion of airways for air intake occurs in air sacs
ventilation perfusion matching
efficient gas exchange requires ventilation appropriate to blood flow through lung
at times of increased tissue demand for oxygen in addition to increased pulmonary ventilation there is
increased cardiac output
recruitment and distension of pulmonary capiliaries
hypoventilation
insufficient airflow to lungs due to partial obstruction of upper or lower airway (pathological) or holding breath-->oxygen depletion and carbon dioxide accumulation in alveoli-->oxygen depletion and carbon dioxide accumulation in blood
hyperventiliation
breathing more deeply or rapidly than necassary to maximally oxygenate blood flowing through lungs-->surplus fresh air flowing in and out of lungs-->decrease in carbon dioxide concentration in blood ( constant removal from lungs)-->hypocapnia-->only slight increase in oxygen concentration in blood (already almost saturated)
ventilation ___ uniform throughout lung
not
blood flow in alveoli dependent on
body position
greater in ventral areas in standing animal due to hydrostatic pressure differences
in dorsal part of lungs ____ artery pressure may fall below ___ pressure and as a result capiliaries are squashed flat precenting blood flow. only occurs with
pulmonary
alveolar
low blood pressure
ventilated unperfused lung =
alveolar dead space
during anestesia of large animals in dorsal recumbency mismatching occurs due to
pooling of blood in dorsal lung--> need to administer pure oxygen to maintain blood PO2
