Q

WHAT is the PLEURAL Can you describe the structure of the PLEAURAL in detail?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • pleural is a double layered serous tissue the covers the lungs
  • subdivide in three part =
    parietal pleural = attaches to thoracic wall/outer layer
    visceral pleura = asheres to lung/inner part
    pleaural space = space between visceral and parietal pleural contains serous liquid
17
Q

What is the function of the pleura?
what does it reduce ect

Study These Flashcards
A
  • reduce friction
  • creates a pressure gradient
  • separates lungs from other tissues preventing infection
18
Q

What is the BONY THORAX in the thoracic cavity subdivided into?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Sternum
  • Ribs (12 pair)
  • Thoracic vertebrae
19
Q

What 3 part does the sternum anatomically divide?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • manubrium
  • body
  • Xiphisternum
20
Q

Which ribs numbers are attached to the sternum?

Study These Flashcards
A

1-10
other 2 float

21
Q

What is the shape of and structure of the DIAPHRAGM?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • dome shaped with a central tendon
22
Q

What is teh diaphragm attached to?(4)

Study These Flashcards
A
  • xiphisternum
  • costal margin
  • rib 11 adn 12
  • LUMBAR vertebrae
23
Q

What is fused withing the central tendon of the DIAPHRAGm?

Study These Flashcards
A

Fibrous pericardium

24
Q

What NERVE innervates the diaphragm?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • phrenic nerve
25
in which ways can the THORACIC VOLUME?
- Vertical - Transverse - A/P diameter
26
How is the vertical volume of the thorax increase and decreased?
- diaphragm contracts increases vertical diameter - diaphragm relax decreasing vertical diameter
27
How is transverse volume of thorax increased?
Elevation of ribs
28
How is A/P diameter of thorax increased?
- Elevation of ribs pushing sternum forward
29
What type of respiration occurs at rest?
- quiet inspiration and expiration
30
What type of respiration occurs during EXERCISE/Respiratory illness, in terms if quiet/forced?
- forced expiration and forced inspiration
31
What are the muscles of QUIET INSPIRATION?
- Diaphragm and external costal muscles CONTRACT
32
What are the muscles of quiet EXPIRATION and how are they affected during expiration?
during QUIET expiration diaphragm and external intercostal muscles RELAX
33
What are the muscles activated during FORCES INSPIARATION?(7 in tot)
- Diaphragm + external intercostal muscle contraction + - pectoralis minor - pectoralis major - sternmocleimastoid - Scalene - serratus anterior
34
How is thoracic cavity size reduced during FORCED EXPIRATION?
Internal and INNERMOST intercostals depress ribs and reduce the size of the thoracic cavity
35
What happens to the abdominal muscles during in relation to diaphragm FORCED expiration?
- abdominal muscles( -external oblique - rectus abdominal - Transversus abdominis - internal oblique) compress abdomen and force diaphragm upward
