The lungs lie within the pleural space: parietal pleura lines the thorax; visceral pleura surrounds the lungs.

Knowledge of the anatomy of the bronchopulmonary segments is essential forKnowledge of the anatomy of the bronchopulmonary segments is essential for precise interpretations of diagnostic images of the lungs and for surgical resection (removal) of diseased segments.
During the treatment of lung cancer, the surgeon may remove a •whole lung (pneumonectomy) , •a lobe (lobectomy) ,• or one or more bronchopulmonary segments (segmentectomy) .
Knowledge and understanding of the bronchopulmonary segments and their relationship to the bronchial tree are also essential for planning drainage and clearance techniques used in physical therapy for enhancing drainage from specific areas (e.g., in patients with pneumonia or cystic fibrosis).

The pleural cavity is a potential space between the visceral andi t l l th t t i thi l f fl idparietal pleurae that contains a thin layer of fluid.
If a sufficient amount of air enters the pleural cavity, the surface tension adhering visceral to parietal pleura (lung to thoracic wall) is broken and theadhering visceral to parietal pleura (lung to thoracic wall) is broken, and thelung collapses because of its inherent elasticity (elastic recoil).
When a lung collapses the pleural cavity “normally a potentialWhen a lung collapses, the pleural cavity normally a potentialSpace “becomes a real space and may contain air (pneumothorax), blood (hemothorax),

Respiratory Bronchiole
Alveolar ducts are small ducts leading from the respiratoryfrom the respiratory bronchioles to the alveolar sacs.
The respiratory bronchiole epithelium consists of ciliated cuboidal cells and clara cells.
![Page 48: LUNG ANATOMY PART 2 - sinoemedicalassociation.org · Lungs occupy all of the thoracic cavity except the mediastinum Root – site of vascular and bronchial attachments Costal surface](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040701/5d5e4be788c99346098bd3c8/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Clara cells are non-mucous and non-ciliated secretory cells found in the primary bronchioles of the lungs.
One of the main functions of Clara cells is to protect the bronchiolar epithelium.
They do this by secreting a small variety of products, including Clara cell secretory protein (CCSP) and a component of the lung surfactant.
They are also responsible for detoxifying harmful substances inhaled into the lungs.
Clara cells accomplish this with cytochrome P450 enzymes found in their smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Clara cells also multiply and differentiate into ciliated cells to regenerate the bronchiolar epithelium.

Clara cells contain Tryptase Clara, which is responsible for cleaving the hemagglutinin surface protein of influenza A virus thereby activating it and hemagglutinin surface protein of influenza A virus, thereby activating it and causing the symptoms of flu.

Aspiration of Foreign Bodiesp gBecause the right bronchus is wider and shorter and runs more vertically than the left bronchus, aspirated foreignbodies are more likely to enter and lodge in it or one of its branches. A potential hazard encountered by dentists is anaspirated foreign body such as a piece of tooth filling aspirated foreign body, such as a piece of tooth, filling material, or a small instrument. Such objects are also mostlikely to enter the right main bronchus.
