Summary

Delve into the complexities of respiratory anatomy and physiology with this comprehensive on-demand session. Gain an in-depth understanding of lung anatomy, histology, mechanics of breathing, the respiratory tree structures (bronchi, bronchioles, alveolar ducts and sacs, etc.), and the specifics of the ventilation and perfusion processes. This course is packed with insightful content, interactive questions, and real-life case studies to aid your learning. Discover everything from bronchoconstriction to the intricacies of gaseous exchange, and learn about relevant diseases and conditions such as COPD, tension pneumothorax, and obstructive/restrictive lung diseases. This module provides an excellent review for anyone looking to enhance their clinical practice. Attend to solidify your knowledge and give your patients better respiratory care.

Learning objectives

  1. Understand the anatomy and histology of the lungs, including the various components of the respiratory tree and their functions.
  2. Develop knowledge of the mechanics of breathing, including how various physical structures contribute to the process of inhalation and exhalation.
  3. Gain insights into the processes of ventilation and perfusion in the lung, and recognize the significance of the ventilation-perfusion ratio.
  4. Understand the role of chemoreceptors in controlling the rate and depth of respiration
  5. Be able to diagnose and analyze various respiratory problems using the knowledge of lung anatomy, physiology, and mechanics.

He sent for an urgent CXR. The results show a tension pneumothorax in his C 3 right lung. The patient is treated however needs a 4 lung transplant. How many fissures does the D right lung have? Question 1 A 1 A man presents to the A&E with acute onset breathlessness and hyperventilation after a B 2 motor-cycle accident. He sent for an urgent CXR. The results show a tension pneumothorax in his C 3 right lung. The patient is treated however needs a lung transplant. How many fissures does the D 4 right lung have? R lung – 2 fissures, 3 lobes! Question 2 A L lower lobe A 72-year-old man comes a history of coughing up blood in the morning and progressive shortness of breath for the past 5 months. He has lost over 14 lbs of weight in the past 5 B Brachial plexus months and complains of significant loss of appetite. Physical examination shows conjunctival pallor. He has a 30 pack year history of smoking. A chest x-ray shows a mediastinal mass C Sympathetic chain and ipsilateral elevation of the right diaphragm. Compression of which of the following structures by the L recurrent laryngeal nerve mediastinal mass best explains the chest x-ray findings? D E Phrenic nerve Question 2 A L lower lobe A 72-year-old man comes a history of coughing up blood in the morning and progressive shortness of breath for the past 5 months.
