  2. Bronchopulmonary segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchopulmonary_segment

    A bronchopulmonary segment is a portion of lung supplied by a specific segmental bronchus and its vessels. [1] [2] These arteries branch from the pulmonary and bronchial arteries, and run together through the center of the segment. Veins and lymphatic vessels drain along the edges of the segment.

  3. Lung - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung

    Each bronchopulmonary segment has its own (segmental) bronchus and arterial supply. [8] Segments for the left and right lung are shown in the table. [5] The segmental anatomy is useful clinically for localising disease processes in the lungs. [5] A segment is a discrete unit that can be surgically removed without seriously affecting surrounding ...

  4. Bronchus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchus

    The secondary bronchi divide further into tertiary bronchi, (also known as segmental bronchi), each of which supplies a bronchopulmonary segment. A bronchopulmonary segment is a division of a lung separated from the rest of the lung by a septum of connective tissue. This property allows a bronchopulmonary segment to be surgically removed ...

  5. Respiratory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_system

    Both the lungs and the skin serve as respiratory organs in amphibians. The ventilation of the lungs in amphibians relies on positive pressure ventilation. Muscles lower the floor of the oral cavity, enlarging it and drawing in air through the nostrils into the oral cavity. With the nostrils and mouth closed, the floor of the oral cavity is then ...

  6. Respiratory tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_tract

    The lungs are the largest organs in the lower respiratory tract. The lungs are suspended within the pleural cavity of the thorax. The pleurae are two thin membranes, one cell layer thick, which surround the lungs. The inner (visceral pleura) covers the lungs and the outer (parietal pleura) lines the inner surface of the chest wall. This ...

  7. Zones of the lung - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zones_of_the_lung

    The ventilation/perfusion ratio (V/Q ratio) is higher in zone #1 (the apex of lung) when a person is standing than it is in zone #3 (the base of lung) because perfusion is nearly absent. However, ventilation and perfusion are highest in base of the lung, resulting in a comparatively lower V/Q ratio.

  8. Flail chest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flail_chest

    Flail chest is usually accompanied by a pulmonary contusion, a bruise of the lung tissue that can interfere with blood oxygenation. [5] Often, it is the contusion, not the flail segment, that is the main cause of respiratory problems in people with both injuries. [6] Surgery to fix the fractures appears to result in better outcomes. [7]

  9. Pulmonary alveolus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_alveolus

    Insufficient surfactant in the lungs of preterm infants causes infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS). The lecithin–sphingomyelin ratio is a measure of fetal amniotic fluid to indicate lung maturity or immaturity. [28] A low ratio indicates a risk factor for IRDS. Lecithin and sphingomyelin are two of the glycolipids of pulmonary surfactant.
