Summary Introduction

To review:

The anatomical location of a barrette swallowed unintentionally by a 1-year old girl.

Introduction:

Babies/Toddlers have the habit of swallowing anything they come across, which may prove to be a major health hazard for them. Respiratory passageways have inbuilt mechanisms to prevent harmful particles from entering. However, there are physical limits to the size of the particle that can be avoided.

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) Two girls in a high school cafeteria were giggling over lunch, and milk accidentally sprayed out of the nostrils of one of them. Explain in anatomical terms why swallowed fluids can sometimes come out the nose. (b) A boy in the same cafeteria then stood on his head to show he could drink milk upside down without any of it entering his nasal cavity or nose. What prevented the milk from flowing downward into his nose?
