Anatomically, the respiratory system consists of an upper Diaphragm respiratory tract and a lower respiratory tract (figure 25.1). Functionally, it can be divided into a conducting portion, which transports air, and a respiratory portion, where gas exchange with the blood occurs. The conducting portion includes the nose, Figure 25.1 nasal cavity, and pharynx of the upper respiratory tract and the Gross Anatomy of the Respiratory System.

With direct absorption and deposition at the lung level, avoiding side effects and presenting fast response time. Several factors infl uence the drug action, such as size, particle movement, ventilatory fl ow, pulmonary expansion, anatomy, respiratory mechanics and the nebulizer and patient interface. The therapeutic optimization depends on the type of nebulizer differentiating itself by the physical principle that generates the mist. Objectives: Check advantages and disadvantages of different inhalation devices. Methodology. This is a review of the PubMed database using descriptors: ultrasonic and jet nebulizer, aerosol deposition in the lung, metered dose inhaler and dry, inhaler therapy. Results: Different devices are mentioned in the literature: pneumatic and ultrasonic nebulizers (administering solutions), metered pressurized inhalers - pMDI used with or without expander chamber (administering suspensions) and dry powder inhalers - DPI (administering powder). Discussion and Conclusion: The US has advantages: quiet, does not require coordinating abilities, without propellant gases and quick nebulization with small amount of solution. Disadvantages: change in the active principle of thermosensitive drugs, deposition in the oropharynx and VAI of 2% of inhaled particles.

  • Quick Review: Surgical Anatomy of Trachea Tracheal Ligament
    Quick Review: Surgical Anatomy of Trachea tracheal ligament. This attachment makes the larynx move up and down along with the larynx during respiration and swallowing. The length of trachea can be correctly gauzed by measuring the exact distance between lower border of cricoid cartilage and apex of the bifurcation angle (Perelman 1972). It varies with age (Allen, M S 2003). Langova (1946) measured the length of the trachea in 390 cadavers ranging in age from six months of intra-uterine life to twenty years and found that it was 3.1 cm on an average in the newborn, 6 cm in a five year old child, 7 cm at the age of ten and 8.5 cm at the age of 15 years. In adults the length of trachea varies widely from 8.5 to 15 cm. Tehmina Begum et al (2009) measured the length of trachea in adult males in the age range of 20 to 58 years.

    NAME: OFOEGBU, EBUBECHUKWU .C. MATRIC NUMBER: 17/MHS01/232 COURSE CODE: GROSS ANATOMY OF HEAD AND NECK DEPARTMENT: MEDICINE AND SURGERY LEVEL: 300 Question 1) Write an essay on the cavernous sinuses. The dural venous sinuses include the superior sagittal, inferior sagittal, straight, transverse, sigmoid, and occipital sinuses, the confluence of sinuses, and the cavernous, sphenoparietal, superior petrosal, inferior petrosal, and basilar sinuses. CAVERNOUS SINUSES Diagram of the cavernous sinus The cavernous sinus, a large venous plexus, is located on each side of the sella turcica on the upper surface of the body of the sphenoid, which contains the sphenoid (air) sinus. They are enclosed by the endosteal and meningeal layers of the dura mater. The borders of the cavernous sinus are: i) Superior Orbital fissure anteriorly. ii) The Petrous part of the temporal bone posteriorly. iii) The body of sphenoid medially. iv) The meningeal layer of the dura mater running from the roof of the middle cranial fossa, laterally. v) The roof is formed by the meningeal layer of the dura mater that attaches to the anterior and middle clinoid processes of the sphenoid bone. vi) The floor is formed by the endosteal layer of the dura mater that overlies the base of the greater wing of sphenoid bone. The cavernous sinuses receive blood not only from cerebral veins, but also from the ophthalmic veins (from the orbit) and emissary veins (from the pterygoid plexus of veins in the infratemporal fossa). These connections provide pathways for infections to pass from extracranial sites into intracranial locations. In addition, because structures pass through the cavernous sinuses and are located in the walls of these sinuses they are vulnerable to injury due to inflammation.
