Anatomy Thorax -2

Front 1

What is the plerua?

Back 1

A serous sac that surrounds each lung

Front 2

Where are the two layers of the pleura continuous?

Back 2

The parietal pleura and the visceral pleura are continuous at the root of the lung

Front 3

What is does the pleural cavity contain and what is its purpose?

Back 3

Contains a thin layer of serous fluid and surface tension from teh fluid holds the 2 layers of the pleura together

Front 4

Name the 4 regions f othe parietal pleura.

Back 4

1. Cupula
2. costal
3. Mediastinal
4. Diaphragmatic

Front 5

What is the parietal pleura in contact with?

Back 5

The endothoracic fascia

Front 6

What is the parietal pleura innervated by?

Back 6

intercostal and phrenic nerves

Front 7

Which layers of the pleura can feel pain? Which cant?

Back 7

The parietal pleura - is sensitive to localized pain because its innervated by the costal and phrenic nerves

The visceral pleura - is NOT

Front 8

What is the visceral pleura in contact with?

Back 8

The surface of the lungs (extends into fissures)

Front 9

What forms a pleural recess?

Back 9

When the parietal pleura is reflected back onto itself/ where two layers of parietal pleura come together

Front 10

Name the 2 pleural recesses

Back 10

1. Costodiaphragmatic
2. Costomediastinal

Front 11

What creates the suprapleural membrane?

Back 11

A thickening of teh endothoracic fascia

Front 12

What part of the parietal pleura does the suprapleural membrane cover?

Back 12

The cupula

Front 13

What is the lowest point of in the pleural cavity in a standing person?

Back 13

The costodiaphragmatic recess

Front 14

What part of the parital pleura forms the boundaries of the costomediastinal recess?

Back 14

The mediastinal pleura and the costal pleura

Front 15

What is a hemathorax?

Back 15

Blood in the pleura cavity

Front 16

What is a pneumothorax?

Back 16

air in the pleura cavity

Front 17

What is the difference between a closed and open pnemothorax?

Back 17

Closed -- closed to the external environment
Open- open to the external environment

Front 18

What could a closed pnemothorax be caused by?

Back 18

A disease

Front 19

What are the lobes and fissures in the right lung?

Back 19

Lobes -- Superior, Middle, and Inferior

Fissures - oblique and horizontal

Front 20

What are the lobes and fissures in the left lung?

Back 20

The superior, inferior,(linugla is part of the superior lobe)

Just a oblique fissure

Front 21

In what lung and lobe can you find the cardiac notch?

Back 21

The left lobe in between the superior and lingula

Front 22

What lobe is the lingula?

Back 22

The lingula is apart of the superior lobe of the left lung
-- Not its own lobe

Front 23

What are the bronchopulmonary segments?

Back 23

anatomically and functionally separate units

Front 24

What are each bronchopulmonary segments separated by?

Back 24

A connective tissue that is continious with the visceral pleura

Front 25

What does each bronchopulmonary segment receive?

Back 25

a segmental bronchus with an accompanying branch of a pulmonary artery

Front 26

How are the arteries and veins segemented in the bronchopulmonary segments?

Back 26

arteries (deoxy) - intrasegmental -- has a common branch and then branches again

Veins- Inter - (oxy) each has there own direct branch

Front 27

WWhat is the clinical importance of the bronchopulmonary segments?

Back 27

interpretation of chest radiographs, diseases often localize in segments, and branching pattern for postural drainage

Front 28

What does the trachea branch off of? what level?

Back 28

The larynx at C6

Front 29

Where does the trachea split?

Back 29

at T4 --the split is called the sternal angle/ carina

Front 30

What does the trachea split into/

Back 30

The right primary bronchus and the left primary bronchus

Front 31

What is a important difference between the right and left primary bronchus?

Back 31

The right bronchus is bigger and more vertical so aspirated things will more likely go into the right

Front 32

Name the segments of the Right superior lobe

Back 32

1. Apical
2. Posterior
3. Anterior

Front 33

Name the segments of the middle lobe

Back 33

1. Lateral
2, Medial

Front 34

Name the segments of the inferior lobe

Back 34

1. superior
2. medial basal
3. lateral basal
4. anterior basal
5. posterior basal

Front 35

What section of the right lung makes contact with the bottom of the lung but does not have basal in its name?

Back 35

The Medial segment of the middle lobe

Front 36

What does the apex of the lungs rise above?

Back 36

The clavical

Front 37

Which rib does the horizontal fissure run along?

Back 37

The 4th rib and costal cartilage

Front 38

Where does the oblique fissure run along on the rib cage?

Back 38

Starts at spinous process of T2-T3 and runs down and around the curvature of the 6th rib

Front 39

Where is the cardiac notch along the rib cage?

Back 39

Along the 4 through 6th costal cartilage left of sternum

Front 40

Where do you listen for superior lobe auscultation and inferior lobe auscultation?

Back 40

Superior -- Anterior side of thorax
