Innervation of the diaprhagm 
C3,C4,C5
Relationship of vagus and phrenic n.
phrenic is lateral
pulm artery and bronchi relationship

R anterior, L superior

(RALS) 

Which mainstem bronchus is more vertical

Right

Aspirations go to right side 

Intercostal n. a. v.
run along BOTTOM of each rib (upside down VAN, but order is right side up)
Bronchopulmonary segement

arteries run w/ bronchioles

Vein and lymph run in interstitial septum 

Diaphragm openings

T8: IVC

T10: Esophagus, vagus

T12: aorta, azygous, thoracic duct 

I 8 10 EGGs AT 12 

Internal intercostals
active expiration
external intercostals
active inspiration
2-3 BPG
Right shift curve. Get rid of O2 easier
Diffusion limited states

O2 in exercise, COPD, fibrosis

CO2 (think DLCO) 

Calculate Vd
Vd=Vt*[PaCO2-PeCO2)/PaCO2]
Calculate Pa02
PaO2=0.21(760-46)-(PCO2/0.8)
Normal A-a gradient

<10mmHg

(>30mmHg and there's really a problem) 

decreased FEV1/FVC
Obstructive
Blue bloater
chronic bronchitis
pink puffer
emphysema
decreased lung volumes w/ normal or increased FEV1/FVC
Restrictive
chronic bronchitis affects______?
terminal bronchiole (prox to respiratory unit)
centroacinar emphysema

smoking, upper lobes, affects respiratory bronchioles

ALL smokers have increased neutrophils that produce elastace and less a1antitrypsin which normally breaks it down. 

pan-acinar
a1-antitrypsin. destruction of entire respiratory unit in lower lobes.
Kartagener's syndrome

immotile cilia due to dynein arm defect

infertile men and women

sinusitis, bronchiectasis

situs inversus 

Isoproterenol
Beta adrenergic agonist (non-specific)
salmeterol
Long acting B2 agonist used for maintenance.
methylxanthines (theophyline)
PDE inhibitors
ipratropium
muscarinic antagonist (prevents bronchoconstriction)
Cromolyn
mast cell stabilizer (only for phrophylaxis)
Antileukotrienes

Zileuton - block 5-lipoxygenase

Zarfirlukast, montelukast - block leukotriene receptors 

theophylline

PDE antagonist

Cardiotoxic, neurotoxic 

LTB4
neutrophil chemotactic agent
LTC4,LTE4,LTD4
bronchoconstriction, vasoconstriction, increase vascular permeability
