Question
Chapter 22, Problem 2CRCAQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the ease of performing surgery for the removal of three adjacent bronchopulmonary segments from the left lung in a tuberculosis patient.
Introduction:
The bronchopulmonary segments are one of the parts of the bronchus tree within the lungs. These segments arise from the secondary bronchus in both of the lungs. They are lung regions supplied by air tubes from the tertiary bronchus and their unique structure helps the body withstand surgical removal.

A surgeon had to remove three adjacent bronchopulmonary segments from the left lung of a patient with tuberculosis. Even though almost half of the lung was removed, there was no severe bleeding, and relatively few blood vessels had to be cauterized (closed off). Why was this surgery so easy to perform?

A person was rushed into an emergency room after receiving a knife wound in the left side of his thorax. The diagnosis was pneumothorax and a collapsed lung. Why did the lung collapse, and why only one lung (not both) collapsed.

This condition occurs when the virus attacks the lining of the lungs, resulting in a buildup of fluid and dead cells in the alveoli. Using your knowledge of the anatomy and function of human lungs, explain why this condition makes it difficult for adequate gas exchange to occur.arrow_forwardDon Paladio had been a pharmacist in New York City. He retired to Florida and spent the better part of everyday swimming in the Gulf. He was healthy and strong. Gradually, however, his years of smoking began to compromise his lung's capacity. Soon, he could not swim at all. He enjoyed the beach from under his umbrella. Eventually, the trips to the beach were not possible. The diagnosis was pulmonary emphysema and COPD. Oxygen was needed, and his activities were diminished to cooking dinner for his wife and himself. Don was embarrassed about the oxygen tank and would no longer go out in public. He died when he was 85. 1.Discuss the impact of both diseases in Don's life 2.What, if anything, could have been done to make his suffering less difficult? 3.Identify characteristics of such long-term chronic illnesses that are particularly difficult. ***INCLUDE CITATIONS IN MLA 9TH EDITION PERDUE OWL***arrow_forward

The patient begins to exhibit dyspnea, and a chest X-ray reveals air in the right pleural cavity and a collapsed right lung. The patient dies 5 days later from respiratory complications. Name the conditions revealed by the X-ray and explain how they could have resulted from the nurse’s procedure.arrow_forwardTwo warm-blooded animals underwent surgery in the following places: a) in the first animal , in the ligation of the right bronchus and left pulmonary artery; b) in the second animal, in the ligation of the left bronchus and left pulmonary artery.
