- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
6Drag and drop the correct answers to describe the orientation of the lubes of the lungs.
The left and right oblique fissures run from the spinous process of [blank_start]T3[blank_end] to the [blank_start]6th rib[blank_end] at the [blank_start]midclavicular line[blank_end].
The right horizontal fissure runs from the [blank_start]5th rib[blank_end] at the [blank_start]midaxillary line[blank_end] and the [blank_start]4th rib[blank_end].- AT3
- BT1
- CT2
- D6th rib
- E7th rib
- F3rd rib
- Gmidclavicular line
- H5th rib
- Imidaxillary line
- J4th rib
7Why can PET scans show lung masses?
- AShow metabolic activity
- BLung masses will be formed of dense tissue that absorbs X ray
- CLung masses will be formed of dense tissue that absorbs gamma
- DLung masses will be formed of dense tissue that has resonance
8What is a pneumothorax?
- APuncture of the pleural cavity causing abnormal movements of air
- BExcess fluid in the pleural cavity due to infection
- CExcess fluid in the pericardial cavity
- DBlood in the pericardial cavity
9What will happen to air in a pneumothorax during expiration?
- AAir leaves pleural cavity
- BAir enters pleural cavity
10What will happen to air in a pneumothorax during inspiration?
- ALeaves the pleural cavity
- BEnters the pleural cavity
11Fill in the blanks to describe a tension pneumothorax.
A tension pneumothorax occurs when the defect in the chest wall acts as a flap [blank_start]valve[blank_end]. During [blank_start]expiration[blank_end], the defect [blank_start]closes[blank_end] and air cannot leave the thorax. During [blank_start]inspiration[blank_end], great pressure caused by the pleural cavity filling with [blank_start]air[blank_end] causes the heart to be shifted to the right. This compresses the heart and lung.- Avalve

12What name do we have the harsh transition between misty grey tissue and black tissue on an X-ray of a pneumothorax?
- APleural stripe

13Drag and drop the correct lung pathology to its x ray.
- APneumothorax
- BPneumonia
- CPleural effusion
14Why is there consolidation of lung tissue in x-rays of chests with pneumonia?
- AAccumulation of lymphocytes causes fluid buildup
- BIrritants in pleura stimulate serous membranes to produce extra fluid
- CAir in the pleural cavity appears misty grey
- DAccumulation of pus
15What is pleural effusion?
- AIrritants in the parietal pleura stimulate serous membranes to produce extra fluid
- BAccumulation of lymphocytes causes fluid buildup
- CIrritants in parietal pleura cause serous membranes to stop producing serous fluid
- DAir in the pleural cavity due to puncture of the parietal pleura
16What is the terminal functional unit of the lung?
- ABronchopulmonary segment
- BLobe
- CBronchiole
- DAlveolus
17What is the correct orientation of the hilum of the right lung, superior to inferior?
- ABronchus, artery, vein
- BArtery, bronchus, vein
- CVein, artery, bronchus
- DVein, bronchus, artery
18What is the correct orientation of the lung hilum of the left lung, superior to inferior?
- AArtery, bronchus, vein

22Drag the correct answers to describe how you would perform auscultation on the anterior chest wall.
To listen to the apex of the lung you would listen [blank_start]above the clavicle[blank_end].
To listen to the superior lobe of the right lung you would listen [blank_start]in the 2nd intercostal space[blank_end].
To listen to the middle lobe of the right lung you would listen [blank_start]in the 4th intercostal space[blank_end].
To listen to the inferior lobe of the right lung you would listen [blank_start]in the 6th intercostal space[blank_end].- Aabove the clavicle
