Learning and Understanding Objectives
• Understand:– Surface anatomy and the relationship of the
heart and lungs in the thoracic cavity– Functions of the pleural cavities– Projected placement of the lungs, visceral and
parietal pleura using anatomical landmarks– Functions & deformities of the thoracic cage and
vertebrae– Relationship of nerves, arteries, and veins– Hierarchy of respiratory system in the thorax– Clinical correlations

The Thoracic Cage
1.) Protects organs and structures of the thorax
2.) Provides stablesupport for the upper extremity and head
3.) Flexible and can change dimensionsduring ventilation

Pneumothorax – Air in the pleural cavityDamage to visceral or parietal pleura can cause air to leak into the pleural cavity.
Causes: a penetrating wound, infection, cancer, asthma,
Treatment : treat wound, chest tube, thorascopic surgery
![Page 45: Thorax and Lungs Learning and Understanding Objectives](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/556b8fa1d8b42ada358b46bf/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Pnemothorax can cause the affected lung to collapse leading to difficulty breathing, cyanosis, and possible shifting the
placement of the heart.

Hemothorax - Blood in the pleural cavity
• difficult ventilation• painful breathing, cyanosis,
tachycardia
• causes – trauma resulting in rupture of pleura
• treatment — remove source of bleeding, drain blood,
thrombolytic agents

Autonomic Innervationof the Respiratory System
• parasympathetic innervation is from the
vagus (CN X)
• sympathetic innervation is from sympathetic trunk
ganglia

Clinical Correlation - Lungs

Lung Compliance = Stretchability
• The ease with which the lungs can expand, (change in lung volume for a given change in pressure)
• Determined by two main factors– Distensibility of the lung tissue and surrounding thoracic
cage, disease can diminish compliance, but emphysema can
increase compliance. – Surface tension at the air-water interface in the alveoli.
Surfactant reduces the surface tension allowing the alveoli to expand more easily.

Pneumonia
• inflammation of aveoli causes build up of fluid in
the lungs
• causes – virus, fungi, bacteria
• treatment — antibiotics, antivirals
![Page 74: Thorax and Lungs Learning and Understanding Objectives](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/556b8fa1d8b42ada358b46bf/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Tuberculosis• infectious disease caused
by the bacterium mycobacterium
tuberculosis
• symptoms include fever, night sweats, weight loss,
a racking cough, and splitting headache
• treatment — 12-month course of antibiotics
![Page 75: Thorax and Lungs Learning and Understanding Objectives](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/556b8fa1d8b42ada358b46bf/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Emphysema• The walls of the alveoli begin to
breakdown.Alveoli lose their elasticity – increase in
lung compliance
• shortness of breath - difficult to remove air from the lungs – Continual forced
expiration
• causes – typically smoking
• treatment — irreversible, stop smoking, anticholinergics, lung volume reduction
surgery, lung transplant

Lung Cancer
• About 1/3 of all cancer deaths in the u.s.• 90% of all patients were smokers
• Three most common types are: * squamous cell carcinoma (20-40% of cases)
arises in bronchial epithelium * adenocarcinoma (25-35% of cases) originates
in peripheral lung area * small cell carcinoma (20-25% of cases)
lymphocyte-like cells that originate in the primary bronchi and subsequently metastasize
• Treatment — chemotherapy, radiotherapy
surgery (removal of sections of or whole lung• Treatment — chemotherapy, radiotherapy

Asthma • characterized by dyspnea (trouble breathing), wheezing, and chest
tightness• active inflammation of the airways
precedes bronchospasms (mast cells, allergies)
• airway inflammation is an immune response caused by release of products
that stimulate IgE and recruit inflammatory cells
• airways thickened with inflammatory exudates magnify the effect of
bronchospasms
• treatment – bronchodilators (inhalers, spacers), intubation, steroids, mechanical
ventilation in cases of extreme attack
