Term
Paranasal sinuses are -- filled spaces in bones adjacent to nasal cavities
Definition
air
Term
draining into inferior meatus
Definition
nasolacrimal duct (from eye)
Term
draining into middle meatus
Definition
frontal sinus
anterior and middle ethmoidal cells
maxillary sinus
Term
draining into superior meatus
Definition
posterior ethmoidal cells
Term
draining into superior and posterior part of nasal cavity
Definition

adenoids
snoring
Term
cricothyroid and cricoarytenoid are what types of joints?
Definition
synovial joints
Term
How many segmental bronchi in each lung? What does segmental bronchi supply air to?
Definition
10.
bronchopulmonary segments
Term
Bronchopulmonary segments of lung
Definition
BPS is region aerated by single segmental (third order) bronchus. Each lung has 10. Tumors and infections can affect single BPS
Term
parietal pleura is supplied by -- nerves. Visceral pleura is supplied by -- nerves
Definition
Parietal-somatic (intercostal/phrenic)
Visceral- Autonomic nerves
Term
condition affecting bronchial tree. episodes of widespread narrowing of air tubes due to contraction of smooth muscle. Minor wheezing to life-threatening attacks.
Definition
asthma
Term
acute/chronic inflammation of bronchial tree. Major causes is smoking.
Definition
bronchitis
Term
epithelial cells of bronchial tree obstruct air tubes and invade lung tissue. Spreads to lymph nodes and other organs. Cause is almost always smoking
Definition
bronchogenic carcinoma
Term
infection of upper respiratory systems. Rhino viruses. runny nose, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue.
Definition
coryza, common head cold.
Term
alveoli inflammed, elastic fibers destroyed, lose ability to strectch. Causes their collapse. Harder for lungs to breath. Rounded barrel chest.
Definition
emphysema
Term
inflammation of mucous membranes in larynx; edema/swelling interferes with vibration of vocal cords producing hoarsness.
Definition
laryngitis
Term
cancer affecting pleura. Chronic exposure to asbestos
Definition
mesothelioma
Term
inflammation of pleura caused by viral or bacterial infection. produces pain when body wall is moved during breathing
Definition
pleurisy
Term
acute inflammation of lungs by viral, bacterial, or fungi infection of alveoli.
Definition
pneumonia
Term
entrance of air into pleural cavity, which is usually sealed. Prevents lung from filling leading to its collapse. Need chest tube to excavate air.
Definition
pneumothorax
Term
abnormal accumulation of fluid in pleural cavity. makes breathing difficult. need hollow needle to drain via the costodiaphragmatic recess called a thoracentesis
Definition
pleural effusion
Term
viral infection causes a head cold followed by inflammation of paranasal sinus which impedes normal draining and is good conditions for bacterial infection. Can spread to bones and meninges.
Definition
sinusitis
Term
incision made through neck into trachea to insert a tube to improve air flow to lungs.
Definition
tracheotomy
Term
emergency airways done in median cricothyroid ligament
Definition
cricothyrotomy
Term
