Pulmonary diffusing capacity capacity of the lungs to exhange carbon monoxide
measures:
Lung diseases attributable to asbestos mesothelioma
asbestosis
lung cancer
, black lung lung disease caused by inhaling coal dust
respiratory sounds caused by fluid in rales, rhonci, crackles
the airways include:
pleura the thin serous membrane around the lungs and inner
walls of the chest
lung lobes divided into lobes. right lung having 3, left lung
having 2.
bronchial tree air reaches lungs via nose, mouth, throad and
branching system of tubes called....
trachea in the nect bifurcates to the right and left lung and to
the lobes, segements ending in alveoli
alveoli tiny air sacs where the blood exchanges carbon
dioxide for oxygen.
respiration is the gas exchange where carbon dioxide (CO2) is
exhaled and oxygen (O2) is taken up by the red
blood cells. takes place in the alveoli.
deoxygenated blood reaches lungs through the pulmonary arteries from
the rt side of the heart (rt ventricle). oxygenated
blood is then returned by the pulmonary veins to the
left atrium.
arteries taking blood from the lungs capillaries. these merge to form veins and return
finally end in tiny... blood to the heart.
bronchial arteries carry oxygenated blood fromo the left ventricle to
the lung tissue
pulmonary artery pressure much lower than circulation in the rest of the body.
average pressure is 10-20mmHg
