“…I know when one is dead,
and when one lives. She is
dead as earth. Lend me a
looking glass. If that her
breath will mist or stain the
stone, why then she lives”
King Lear; Act V, Scene III
William Shakespeare
Learning Objectives
• Demonstrate an understanding of the terminology used
to describe the structure and function of the respiratory
system and respiratory apparatus.
• Describe the gross organization and orientation of the
trachea, bronchi and lungs within the chest and their
inter-relationships with the pleural cavities, with the heart
& pulmonary vessels, and with the other major structures
within the mediastinum.
• Identify and describe the gross features of the chest wall
trachea, bronchi, lungs, pleura and pleural cavities.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the mechanics of
respiration.

Bony Thorax (Thoracic Cage)
• The thoracic cage is composed of the
thoracic vertebrae dorsally, the ribs
laterally, and the sternum and costal
cartilages anteriorly
Ouch. Rib fractures take about six weeks to heal, and
there's not much you can do about them.
