Questions and Verified Answers Accurate
Solutions Already Graded A+
Where does the trachea divide into left and right primary bronchii?
The fifth thoracic vertebra.
If a foreign objects gets by the trachea, where would it most likely get
caught?
The right primary bronchus.
Which of the bronchi are segmented?
The tertiary
How many lobes do each lung have?
Right has 3 lobes
Left has 2 lobes
Lobules contain
Lymphatic vessels
Venules
Arteriole
Bronchioles
Artria are found in the
Alveolar Ducts
Hylaline Membrane Disease
, Also called Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
Common in premature infants. This is caused by too little surfactant
being produced and the lungs tend to collapse. Without special
treatment, most premature babies will die shortly after birth as a result
of inadequate ventilation.
Cystic Fibrosis
A genetic disease (inherited at birth). It affects the secretory cells of the
lungs. Mucus becomes very thick or viscous. Tends to accumulate in the
lungs because it does not get moved by cilia. This results in difficulty in
breathing due to obstructions by the mucus of the airways and severe
coughing, which attempts to remove the mucus.
Tuberculosis
Chronic bacterial infection that usually affects the lungs. It can be
transmitted by the ingestion or inhalation of infected droplets. The
bacterium can also infect other organs of the body such as the spleen,
liver, lymph nodes, bone marrow, as well as the meninges of the CNS.
Early symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis include; chest pain, fever,
loss of appetite with accompanying weight loss, and pleurisy.
Legionnair's Disease
Severe, sometimes fatal, bacterial infection that begins with flu-like
symptoms, body aches, and fever, followed by severe pneumonia with
possible liver and kidney degeneration. Caused by exposure to the
gram-negative bacterium.
Atelectasis
