Left superior bronchial a. 2. Left inferior bronchial a. 3. Right bronchial a. 3 Bronchial veins- drain into azygos and accessory hemiazygous veins 1 2 Alveoli and alveolar ducts directly exchange gas directly using pulmonary system instead of bronchial circulation LO 2 Bronchial Tree Bronchial tree is branched system in lungs beginning with primary bronchi (singular: bronchus) and ends with terminal bronchioles Location for conduction and respiration Made of cartilaginous rings that become less numerous and smaller; eventually become scattered pieces of cartilage Surrounded by a complete ring of smooth muscle From larges to smallest branches transitions from pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium → simple columnar → simple cuboidal → simple squamous LO 2 Bronchial Tree Primary bronchi (right and left) Enter each lung at hilum with vessels and nerves Right more vertical and larger than left Secondary (lobar) bronchi To each lobe Three in right, two in left Tertiary (segmental) bronchi To each broncopulmonary segment 10 in right, 8-10 in left Drake et al., 2018, Gray’s Basic Anatomy LO 2 Primary Bronchial bronchi Tree 1. Primary 2. Secondary (lobar) 3. Tertiary (segmental) Based on the anatomy, which primary bronchi is more likely to be blocked during aspiration?

Diaphragm contraction causes flattening, moves inferiorly, causing expansion of thoracic cavity 2 2. Transversus thoracis 1 Depress ribs Internal view of anterior thoracic wall LO 5 Muscles of Respiration 1. Serratus posterior 1 superior elevation during inhalation 2. Serratus posterior 5 inferior 4 depression during exhalation 3. Scalenes forced inhalation elevation 2 4. External intercostals elevation during inhalation 5. Internal intercostals depression during forced Anterior view exhalation Posterior view LO 5 Blood Supply and Gas Exchange Gas enters bronchopulmonary segments via respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts lined by simple squamous epithelium 300-400 million alveoli in the lungs Gas is exchanged between respiratory and cardiovascular systems primarily in alveoli 1. Low oxygen blood enters lungs via pulmonary arteries (from right ventricle) 2. Form alveolar capillary plexuses around alveoli where gas exchange occurs across simple squamous epithelium 3. Oxygenated blood leaves via pulmonary veins (to left atrium) LO 5 Lungs- Blood Supply Pulmonary circulation Conducts blood to and from the gas exchange surfaces of the lungs, replenish oxygen and rids excess carbon dioxide in blood Deoxygenated blood- right atrium→ right ventricle→ pulmonary trunk→ pulmonary arteries→ pulmonary capillary system in lungs Oxygenated blood- pulmonary capillary system in lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium → left ventricle→ aorta Pleura and Pulmonary Collapse LO 6 External Lung Structures Lungs and internal thoracic wall covered in pleura Visceral pleura- directly on lungs Parietal pleura- on internal thoracic walls and superior surface of diaphragm Pleural cavity is potential space between each layer Costodiaphragmatic recess LO 6 Clinical Correlation: Pulmonary Collapse Lungs are similar to an inflated balloon when they are distended If distention is not maintained, the inherent elasticity of the lungs will cause Elastic qualities of lungs them to collapse Lungs in situ remain distended even when airway passages are open (unlike a closed balloon) Parietal pleura- attached to thoracic wall Visceral pleura- attached to lungs Surface tension, maintained by fluid filled pleural cavity, causes lungs to adhere/follow shape of thoracic wall as it changes (think suction) LO 6 Clinical Correlation: Pulmonary Collapse If a wound penetrates through the thoracic wall or surface of the lungs, air will be sucked into the pleural cavity due to the negative pressure The surface tension adhering lungs to thoracic wall will be broken causing the lung to collapse and exhalation of air Fluid filled potential space in pleural cavity becomes real space Atelectasis Primary atelectasis: collapse failure of a lung to inflate a birth Secondary atelectasis: collapse of a previously inflated lung
