    Study Notes

    Bronchi

    • Three types of bronchi: primary, secondary, and tertiary
      • Primary are the main bronchi, secondary are lobar bronchi, and tertiary are segmental bronchi
    • Right bronchus is wider, shorter, and at a steeper angle to the carina than the left bronchus
      • This makes the right bronchus more susceptible to inhaled foreign body impaction
    • Airway diameter decreases from trachea (25 mm) to alveoli (0.25-0.3 mm), resulting in a significant increase in cross-sectional area (from 5 cm² to 700,000 cm²)

    Secondary Pulmonary Lobule

    • The functional unit of the lung
    • It consists of 3-5 terminal bronchioles enclosed in connective tissue septa
    • Airflow follows this pathway: terminal bronchiole → respiratory bronchioles → alveolar ducts → alveoli

    Bronchopulmonary Segments (BPS)

    • Anatomical unit of the lung supplied by a tertiary bronchus
    • Contains a pulmonary artery within it (intrasegmental artery)

    Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)

    • Pathogenesis of DIC:
      • Stimulus → Endothelial activation → Release of tissue factor (Thromboplastin) → Continuous and excessive thrombin formation and activation → Consumption of platelets and clotting factors → Bleeding + hyperfibrinolysis (Trapping of fibrinogen)
    • Etiology of DIC:
      • Sepsis (most common)
      • Hematological malignancy
      • Trauma
      • Pancreatitis
      • Burns
      • Massive blood transfusion
      • Kasabach-Merritt syndrome

    Clinical Approach to Bleeding

    • Prolonged APTT and normal PT suggests no bleeding, possibly due to Factor XII deficiency, High molecular weight kininogen deficiency, or Prekallikrein deficiency
    • Prolonged APTT and normal PT with reduced platelet count suggests mild bleeding, possible due to Hemophilia A (Factor VIII deficiency)
    • Prolonged APTT and prolonged PT with reduced platelet count suggests severe bleeding, possibly due to Hemophilia B (Factor IX deficiency), or von Willebrand disease (VWF)

    Clinical Anatomy of Lungs

    • Right lung has three lobes: upper, middle, and lower
    • Left lung has two lobes: upper and lower
    • The lower/inferior lobe is challenging to visualize on a normal X-ray due to its posterior position
      • Lateral X-ray or CT scan is needed for visualization
    • Fissures are depressions on the lung surface extending to the hilum
      • Major fissure/Oblique fissure is present in both lungs
      • Minor fissure/Horizontal fissure only in the right lung
      • Azygos fissure is rare, has a tadpole appearance, and contains the azygos vein

    Phantom tumor/Pseudotumor

    • Fluid collection in the horizontal fissures
    • Etiology: Heart failure with low ejection fraction
    • Resolves with diuretics

    Hematology

    • The most common congenital bleeding disorder is Von Willebrand disease
    • Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a protein essential for platelet adhesion and factor VIII carriage
    • Types of Von Willebrand disease:
      • Type 1 (most common): Partial quantitative defect
      • Type 2: Qualitative defect
      • Type 3 (rare): Complete quantitative defect

    Lung Anatomy and Physiology

    • Structures at the hila:
      • Pulmonary artery (PA)
      • Pulmonary vein (PV)
      • Bronchus
      • Lymphatics
    • Causes of hilar enlargement:
      • Hilar lymphadenopathy (TB, sarcoidosis)
      • PA dilatation
      • Mediastinal mass
      • Mass in the bronchus

    Weibel's Generation of Airways

    • Generation 0: Trachea
    • Generation 1: Bronchi
    • Generation 2: Bronchioles
    • Generation 5: Terminal bronchioles
    • Generation 16-17: Respiratory bronchioles
    • Generation 18-21: Alveolar ducts
    • Generation 22: Alveolar sacs
    • Generation 23: Site of gas exchange (acinus)

    Club/Clara Cells

    • Non-ciliated cuboidal epithelial cells in terminal bronchioles
    • Function: Detoxification of xenobiotics and progenitor cells for bronchiolar cells

    Kulchitzky Cells

    • Dense core vesicles with serotonin, calcitonin, and CGRP
    • CGRP is a major neurotransmitter in migraine

    Epithelium of Conducting Airways

    • Trachea: + cartilage, - smooth muscles, - mucus producing cells
    • Bronchi: + cartilage, + smooth muscles, + mucus producing cells
    • Bronchiole: - cartilage, + smooth muscles, + mucus producing cells (max in terminal bronchiole)

    Bronchus Epithelium

    • Upper Part: Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
    • Middle Part: Ciliated simple cuboidal epithelium
    • Lower Part: Simple cuboidal epithelium

    Bronchiole Epithelium

    • Lining: Simple cuboidal epithelium
    • No mucus glands
    • Occasional goblet cells
    • Few neuroendocrine cells
    • Clara cells

    Substances Acting on Conducting Airways

    • Leukotriene: Potent constrictor of bronchial smooth muscles
    • Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP): Potent dilator; non-adrenergic non-cholinergic (NANC) peptide

    Cholinergics

    • Broncho-constrictor
    • Methacholine challenge test: To assess airway hyperresponsiveness

    Anticholinergics

    • Bronchodilators
    • Used in asthma
    • Examples: Ipratropium, tiotropium

    Role of Cilia

    • Defective mucociliary escalator mechanism can lead to:
      • Immotile Cilia Syndrome/Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
      • Cystic Fibrosis

    Immotile Cilia Syndrome/Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

    • Autosomal recessive inheritance
    • Defective dynein arm
    • Median age of presentation: 5 years
    • Clinical Features:
      • Recurrent episodes of sinusitis and otitis media
      • Neonatal respiratory distress
      • Kartagener's syndrome (triad + male infertility) - cilia required for rotation of body organs → results in situs inversus

    Cystic Fibrosis

    • Autosomal recessive inheritance
    • Defect: CFTR gene mutation (F508 mutation) on chromosome 7q → Cl ion defect
    • Clinical Features:
      • Thick secretions
      • Normal cilia
      • Affected sites: Bronchi, biliary tract, intestine, reproductive system
