1. 2 the left lung contains ___ lobes 25. mediastinum area between the lungs containing the trachea,
bronchi, esophagus, heart, & great vessels
2. 3 the right lung contains ___ lobes
26. medulla & involuntary control of respiration is controlled
3. 10-12 cm How long is the trachea?
pons by the
4. 11th & 12th floating ribs
27. mid-axillary runs from the apex of the axillae to the level
5. alveolar sacs clusters of alveoli line of the 12th rib
6. alveoli air sacs in the lungs 28. midsternal the landmark reference line that runs vertically
7. anterior extends from anterior axillary fold along the lines down the center of the sternum
axillary line anterolateral aspect of thorax 29. parietal lines the chest cavity
8. apex the _____ of the lungextends above clavicle pleura
9. base the ________ base of the lung is at the level of 30. pleura thin, doubled-layer serous membrane
the diaphragm 31. pleural space between the two pleural layers
10. bronchioles smallest branches of the bronchi space
11. cilia hair-like projections that line the trachea & 32. posterior runs from the posterior axillary fold down the
bronchi that help sweep dust, foreign bodies, axillary line posterolateral aspect of the chest wall
& bacteria trapped by mucus 33. ribs 7-10 connect to cartilages of the pair above them
12. costal angle the angle between the ribs at the costal rather than the sternum
margins 34. right the _______ lung is wider & shorter because it
normally < 90 degrees has to make room for the liver
13. dead space the trachea & the bronchi are known as the 35. right & left landmark reference on the posterior thorax
"____________" scapular that run down mid scapula on the left & right
bc there is air but not gas exchange lines side
14. expiration passive & occurs w/ relaxation of intercostal 36. serous fluid the lubricating _________________ between the layers
muscles & diaphragm allows movement between the parietal &
15. external breathing accomplished by the vertical & visceral pleura during ventilation without
respiration horizontal expansion of the chest friction
16. First 7 pairs true ribs - because they connect directly to 37. shorter aspirated objects are more likely to enter the
of ribs the sternum right lung than the left because the right
bronchus is __________ than the left main
17. horizontal __________ expansion occurs as the intercostal
bronchus.
muscles lift the sternum & elevate the ribs
38. sternurm breastbone
18. hypercapnia the abnormal buildup of carbon dioxide in
the blood 39. suprasternal U-shaped indention located on the superior
notch border of the manubrium
19. hypoxemia decrease in oxygen
40. thoracic - supports & protects organs
20. inspiration breathing in
cage - consists of the sternum, 12 pairs ribs, 12
21. left- landmark reference line that runs vertically thoracic vertebrae
midclavicular down the left mid clavicle
41. thoracic consists of the mediastinum & lungs & is lined
lines
cavity by the pleural membranes
22. lower lungs, distal portion of trachea, & bronchi
42. thorax identifies the portion of the body extending
respiratory
from the base of the neck superiorly to the
tract
level of the diaphragm inferiorly
23. lungs 2 cone-shaped elastic structures
43. trachea flexible structure that lies anterior to the
24. manubrium, 3 parts of the sternum esophagus
body, &
44. true the left lung is narrower & longer because of
xiphoid
the heart
process
45. true the right main bronchus is shorter & more
vertical than the left main bronchus
