The right primary bronchus is larger in diameter than the left, and descends at a steeper angle. V. The Lungs, p. 824 Gross Anatomy of the Lungs The left and right lungs are in the left and right pleural cavities. The inferior portion of each lung (the base) rests on the sup...
However, initial lymphatics are distributed throughout the lung, except around alveoli. In addition, some lymphatics are associated with bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) near main bronchi and larger bronchi (Pabst, 2022), which is dynamic and rapidly changes in inflammatory conditions. Int...
Childhood interstitial lung diseases (chILDs) encompass a diverse group of disorders with a high mortality rate and severe respiratory morbidities. Recent
The Lungs, roughly conical in shape, occupy the thoracic cavity, being separated from one another by the mediastinum. The right lung is broader, shorter, and slightly larger than the left. The apex pr...
(which is a function of the shape of the diaphragm). The inner, or medial, surface of the lung faces the heart and is the site of the pulmonary hilus, the point at which the primary bronchus and the pulmonary artery enter, at which the pulmonary veins exit, and at which the lymph ...
Type II pneumocytes function as preventing the alveoli from collapsing due to surface tension upon infection with SARS-CoV-2. “Large type II pneumocytes” are type II pneumocytes with hyperplasia exhibiting nuclei more than 10 µm in diameter. We described “large type II pneumocytes” as ...
Blood vessels (perivasculitis; d and i), bronchus (peribronchitis; e and j), bronchioles (peribronchiolitis; f and k), alveolar lumen (alveolitis; g and l) and lung interstitium (interstitial pneumonitis; h and m) in lung tissues were scored ranging from 0 to 4 points, according to ...
1. Alveoli are air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs with the blood. The tissue that makes up alveoli is simple squamous epithelium, which is different than the respiratory tract which is mo Which of the following options is correct? The respiratory membra...
such as the nasopharynx, trachea, and first bronchus; correspondingly, particles with a diameter ≤ 3.3 µm correspond to the second and third bronchi and lungs, and can even directly deposited to the alveoli, thereby entering the blood circulation, which is more harmful to the human....
Between these two layers is the potential space of the pleural cavity, moistened by a film of serous fluid. The mediastinum is the space between the two pleural sacs. The right lung is larger than the left and comprises the upper, middle and lower lobes. The left lung has an upper and ...
