1The left lung is split into the superior, middle and inferior lobes and are separated by the horizontal and oblique fissures.
- ATrue
- BFalse
2Identify the areas marked with the yellow dots.

- Acervical pleura
- Bcostal pleura
- Cmediastinal pleura
- Ddiaphragmatic pleura
- Eparietal pleura
- Fvisceral pleura
3The bronchial tree begins at the [blank_start]larynx[blank_end], the [blank_start]trachea[blank_end] bifurcates at the level of the sternal angle, at the [blank_start]carina[blank_end], into the left and right [blank_start]primary[blank_end] bronchi. The primary bronchi enter the lung at the [blank_start]hilum[blank_end] and branch into secondary bronchi which each supply a lobe of the lung.
- Alarynx
- Bcarina
- Cprimary bronchi
- Dtrachea
- Ehilum
- Fsecondary bronchi
- Gtrachea
- Hlarynx
- Isecondary bronchi
- Jprimary bronchi
- Khilum
- Lcarina
- Mtrachea
- Nlarynx
- Oprimary bronchi
- Pprimary
- Qsecondary
- Rcarina
- Slarynx
- Thilum
- Uhilum
- Vtrachea
- Wcarina
- Xsecondary bronchi
4Label the diagram.

- Alung viscera
- Bvisceral pleura
- Cpleural space
- Dparietal pleura
- Evisceral pleura
- Fpleural space
- Gparietal pleura
- Hlung viscera
- Ipleural space
- Jparietal pleura
- Kvisceral pleura
- Llung viscera
- Mparietal pleura
- Nvisceral pleura
- Opleural space
- Plung viscera
5The vascular supply to the parietal pleura is from the [blank_start]systemic[blank_end] capillaries
- Asystemic
- Bpulmonary
- Cbronchial
6The central portion of the diaphragmatic (parietal) pleura is innervated by the [blank_start]phrenic[blank_end] nerve and therefore pain is referred to the ipsilateral shoulder.
- Aphrenic
- Bintercostal
7What are the stomata?
- Acylindrical openings of the lymphatic system present on the parietal pleura
- Bcylindrical openings of the lymphatic system present on the visceral pleura
- Csmall capillaries in the mesothelium of the visceral pleura
- Dsmall capillaries in the mesothelium of the parietal pleura
8The pleural fluid is produced my microvascular [blank_start]filtration[blank_end] from the pleural [blank_start]capillaries[blank_end] through the mesothelium into the pleural space. It relies on two pressure gradients, [blank_start]oncotic[blank_end] and [blank_start]hydrostatic[blank_end] pressure.
- Afiltration
- Babsorption
- Cdegeneration
- Ddiffusion
- Ecapillaries
- Fwall
- Gveins
- Harteries
- Ioncotic
- Jdensity
- Kturgor
- Lsalinity
- Mhydrostatic
- Ntubular
- Oblood
- Ppartial pressure
9Label the image depicting the physiology of pleural fluid formation.
- Aparietal pleura
- Bsystemic capillaries
- Cbronchial and pulmonary capillaries
- Dstomata
- Elarger hydrostatic pressure
- Fsmaller hydrostatic pressure
- Goncotic pressure
- Hvisceral pleura and lung interstitium
- Ipleural space
- Jmesothelial cell layer
10Which of the following are possible underlying aetiologies of a TRANSUDATIVE pleural effusion?
- AHepatic cirrhosis
- BNephrotic syndrome
- CCongestive heart failure
- DBacterial pneumonia
- EEmpyema
- FMetastatic malignancy
11Identify the pathophysiological process that results in a pleural effusion

- Adecreased oncotic pressure
- Bincreased oncotic pressure
- Cincreased hydrostatic pressure
- Ddecreased hydrostatic pressure
12What causes the increase in pleural fluid when the underlying condition of a pleural effusion is hepatic cirrhosis?
- Ainflux of ascitic fluid from the peritoneal cavity
- Bincrease in hydrostatic pressure in pulmonary capillaries
- Cdecreased in hydrostatic pressure in pulmonary capillaries
- Dincrease in oncotic pressure in systemic capillaries
13Identify the 3 stages of parapneumonic effusions:
1) [blank_start]Exudative[blank_end] stage - sterile fluid accumulates around the infected area in the interstitial space, this fluid then crosses into the pleural space leading to a pleural effusion
2) [blank_start]Fibrinopirulent[blank_end] stage - if not treated bacteria invades the pleural space leading to infection of the pleural fluid resulting in an empyema this activates an immune response and fibrin is deposited to limit the spread
3) [blank_start]Organisation[blank_end] stage - fibroblasts grow around the empyema and form a pleural peel- AExudative
- BFibrinopirulent
- COrganisation
14The lymphatic vessels can increase the rate of pleural fluid resorption by which amount?
- A20x
- B2x
- C0.2x
- D200x
15Identify the most appropriate diagnosis.

- Asubpulmonic effusion
- Bmassive pleural effusion (right)
- Cmassive pleural effusion (left)
- Dmoderate effusion (right)
- Enormal lung
16Identify the most appropriate diagnosis.

- Amassive pleural effusion (left) with mediastinal shift
- Bnormal lung
- Csubpulmonic effusion
- Dsmall pleural effusion
17Identify the most appropriate diagnosis of the chest radiograph.

- Anormal
- Bsubpulmonic effusion
- Csmall pleural effusion
18The [blank_start]meniscus[blank_end] sign is a key radiographic feature that indicates that there is excessive pleural fluid in the pleural space.
- Ameniscus
- Bfractal
- Coval
- Dfluid
19What is the purpose of pleurodesis?
- Ato obliterate the pleural space to prevent fluid build up
- Bto drain a pleural effusion
- Cto reduce oncotic pressure
- Dto remove the pleural peel formed by a pleural effusion
20The lungs do not completely fill the pleural cavities, there are areas where the parietal pleura converges. These are called the [blank_start]pleural recesses[blank_end].
- Apleural recesses
