The Pleural Cavities and Lungs

Directly opposite to right superior lobe bronchus

right superior bronchopulmonary segment

Parietal pleura has different names depending on location - name 1. Dome of pleura lining the cervical extension of the pleural cavity 2. Pleura related to the intercostal spaces and the ribs 3. pleural covering the diaphragm 4. Pleura covering the mediastinum

1. Cervical (cupola) 2. costal 3. diaphragmatic 4. Mediastinal

A A bronchopulmonary segment is the xest, functionally x region of a lung and the smallest area of lung that can be isolated and removed without affecting adjacent segments.

A bronchopulmonary segment is the smallest, functionally independent region of a lung and the smallest area of lung that can be isolated and removed without affecting adjacent segments.

Ligamentum arteriosum runs with x branch of the x nerve. What happens if this nerve is severed?

Ligamentum arteriosum runs with recurrent branch of Left "recurrent" laryngeal nerve. Causes hoarseness when severed.

Right superior lobe bronchus.

The lungs do not completely x the anterior or posterior inferior regions of the pleural cavities Expansion of the lungs into these recesses occurs typically only during forced x The recesses are potential spaces in which fluid may accumulate - name the two recesses

The lungs do not completely fill the anterior or posterior inferior regions of the pleural cavities Expansion of the lungs into these recesses occurs typically only during forced inspiration The recesses are potential spaces in which fluid may accumulate. Costodiaphragmatic recess, costomediastinal recess.

The lungs drain into x nodes located around the roots of x and main stem bronchi and alongside the trachea. From here, - the right lung drains into right x nodes and trunk. - The left lung drains into left bronchomediastinal nodes and trunk with the exception that the x portion of the left lung drains into right bronchomediastinal nodes and trunk.

The lungs drain into tracheobronchial nodes located around the roots of lobar and main stem bronchi and alongside the trachea. From here, - the right lung drains into right bronchomediastinal nodes and trunk. - The left lung drains into left bronchomediastinal nodes and trunk with the exception that the lower portion of the left lung drains into right bronchomediastinal nodes and trunk.

The right/left main bronchus is wide and straighter than the right/left and is therefore a more likely site for aspirated material.

The right main bronchus is wide and straighter than the left and is therefore a more likely site for aspirated material.

The root of the lung refers to the x that surrounds structures passing between the lungs and the mediastinum. The root joins the medial surface of the lung at a region called the x. Here, parietal and visceral pleura are continuous.

The root of the lung refers to the tubular sleeve of mediastinal pleura that surrounds structures passing between the lungs and the mediastinum. The root joins the medial surface of the lung at a region called the hilum. Here, parietal and visceral pleura are continuous.

The two pleural cavities, on either side of the mediastinum, surround the lungs. Superiorly, the pleural cavities extend above the x, into the neck. Inferiorly, they extend to just above the level of the x. Medially, the wall of each pleural cavity is the x.

The two pleural cavities, on either side of the mediastinum, surround the lungs. Superiorly, the pleural cavities extend above the 1st rib, into the neck. Inferiorly, they extend to just above the level of the costal margin Medially, the wall of each pleural cavity is the mediastinum.

The visceral pleura and other structures of the lung are innervated by x and x fibers distributed through the x. These fibers originate from the x nerve and the x.

The visceral pleura and other structures of the lung are innervated by GVA and GVE fibers distributed through the Pulmonary plexus. These fibers originate from the vagus nerve and the sympathetic chain.

While both lungs and pleural cavities approach midline in the region of the upper sternum, neither the left lung nor the left pleural cavity come as close to midline as the right/left in the region of the lower sternum. This is due to displacement by the x.

While both lungs and pleural cavities approach midline in the region of the upper sternum, neither the left lung nor the left pleural cavity come as close to midline as the right in the region of the lower sternum. This is due to displacement by the heart.

phrenic nerve runs anterior or posterior to the root of the lung? what above the vagus nerve?

anterior to. vagus nerve runs posterior to the root of the lung.

bronchopulmonary segment

area of lung supplied by a segmental (tertiary) bronchus and its accompanying pulmonary artery branch.

the x arteries provide nutritive support to the pulmonary tissues. These vessels typically arise from the thoracic x or one of its branches.

bronchial arteries, thoracic aorta

area of lung supplied by a segmental (tertiary) bronchus and its accompanying pulmonary artery branch.

bronchopulmonary segment

tributaries of the pulmonary veins tend to pass between x

bronchopulmonary segments

T/F - The right and left pleura communicate with each other.

false

T/F -If you have hot right bronchomediastinal nodes - it is always an indicator of right lung infection

no - lower portion of left lung drains into right bronchomediastinal nodes and trunk

The two types of pleura

parietal - that which is associated with the walls of the pleural cavity. Visceral - that which is adherent to the surface of the lung.

While the pleura reflects onto the diaphragm, neither the right nor left lung fill their respective x, this is particularly evident anteriorly especially inferiorly.

pleural cavities.

Each pleural cavity is a x space existing between the parietal and visceral pleura. Normally, each cavity contains only a small amount of serous fluid, allowing the lung, which is covered by visceral pleura, to x over the parietal pleura.

potential Normally, each cavity contains only a small amount of serous fluid, allowing the lung, which is covered by visceral pleura, to slide freely over the parietal pleura.

How many bronchopulmonary segments in the right lung and left lung?

right lung - 10 left lung - 8

Name the 10 bronchopulmonary segments of the right lung, 3 in superior lobe, 2 in middle lobe, 5 in inferior lobe

superior lobe - apical, posterior, anterior middle lobe - lateral, medial Inferior lobe - superior, medial basal, anterior basal, lateral basal, posterior basal.

Name the 8 bronchopulmonary segments of the left lung, 4 in superior lobe, 4 in inferior lobe

superior lobe - apicoposterior, anterior, superior, inferior Inferior lobe - superior, anteromedial basal, lateral basal, posterior basal.

T/F - The pleural cavities and lungs extend above the first costal cartilage and thus into the neck
