+ Left Lower lobe (LLL) is a relatively common
site for consolidation. The term consolidationis usually referring to a long airspace replaced
by a fluid. The term consolidation does not
imply any particular etiology or pathology.
Acute pneumonia is the most common cause
of consolidation. Other causes include chronic
pneumonia, pulmonary edema and neoplasm.

+ Appearances of Lung Consolidation
+ Radiological appearances common
to all lobes are:+ 1. Abnormal lung opacity
+ 2. Increase in the size and number oflung markings
+
3. Loss of clarity of the diaphragm onthe AP and/or lateral views
+ 4. Loss of clarity of the heart borderon the AP and/or lateral views
+ 5. Loss of the normal darkeninginferiorly of the thoracic vertebralbodies on the lateral view
+ 6. Opacification of the lung behindthe heart shadow or below the
diaphragms

16/44
+ As we grow older and become senior citizens we tend toslow down our productivity and explore life as a retiredperson. It is during this time that we contemplate ouraccomplishments and are able to develop integrity if we see
ourselves as leading a successful life. If we see our life asunproductive, or feel that we did not accomplish our lifegoals, we become dissatisfied with life and develop despair,often leading to depression and hopelessness.
+ The final developmental task is retrospection: people lookback on their lives and accomplishments. They developfeelings of contentment and integrity if they believe thatthey have led a happy, productive life. They may insteaddevelop a sense of despair if they look back on a life ofdisappointments and unachieved goals.
+ This stage can occur out of the sequence when an individualfeels they are near the end of their life (such as whenreceiving a terminal disease diagnosis).
+ Patient D.Q have no regrets in her life because she feels thatshe has been productive as a citizen and a good mother toher children as evidenced by all of her children finished theirstudies in college.

lungs.
+ The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to
deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we
breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system's
means of getting oxygen to the blood.

+ I. UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT
+ external nose, nasal cavity, pharynx and associated structures.
+
+ NOSEconsists of the external nose and nasal cavity.

+ Nasal cavityextends from the nares to the choane, divided by nasal septum.

+ II. LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT
+ 1 .LUNGS
+ The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system. In the lungs oxygen is taken into the bodyand carbon dioxide is breathed out. The red blood cells are responsible for picking up the oxygen inthe lungs and carrying the oxygen to all the body cells that need it. The red blood cells drop off theoxygen to the body cells, then pick up the carbon dioxide which is a waste gas product produced by
our cells. The red blood cells transport the carbon dioxide back to the lungs and we breathe it outwhen we exhale.
+
+ The left lower lobe is similar in structure to the right lower lobe except that it has twosegments combined- because the anterior and medial basal segments .share a commonbronchial supply, these two segments are characteristically combined, forming an anteriormedial basal segment.

+ . TRACHEA
+ The trachea is sometimes called the windpipe. The trachea filters theair we breathe and branches into the bronchi.
+ + 3. BRONCHI
+ The bronchi are two air tubes that branch off of the trachea andcarry air directly into the lungs.
+
+ 4. DIAPHRAGM+ Breathing starts with a dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of the
lungs called the diaphragm. When you breathe in, the diaphragmcontracts. When it contracts it flattens out and pulls downward. Thismovement enlarges the space that the lungs are in. This larger spacepulls air into the lungs. When you breathe out, the diaphragmexpands reducing the amount of space for the lungs and forcing airout. The diaphragm is the main muscle used in breathing.

+ PHYSIOLOGY OF RESPIRATION
+
+ The respiratory primarily supplies oxygen to the body and disposes of carbon dioxide through exhalation. Four events
chronologically occur, for respiration to take place.
+ Pulmonary ventilationthis process is commonly termed as breathing. With pulmonary ventilation, air must move out into
and out of the lungs so that the alveoli of the lungs are continuously drained and filled with air.
+
External respirationthis is the exchange of gases or the loading of oxygen and the unloading of carbon dioxide between thepulmonary blood and alveoli.
+ Respiratory gas transportthis is the process where the oxygen and carbon dioxide is transported to the and from the lungs
and tissue cells of the body through the bloodstream.
+ Internal respirationin internal respiration the exchange of gases is taking place between the blood and tissue cells.
+
+ Mechanics of Breathing
+
+ Breathing, also called pulmonary ventilation is a mechanical process that completely depends on the volume changesoccurring in the thoracic cavity. Thus, a when volume changes pressure also changes, and this would lead to the flow of gases
equalizing with the pressure.
+
+ Inspirationalso called inhalation. This is the act of allowing air to enter the body. Air is flowing into the lungs with this
process. Inspiratory muscles are involved with inspiration which includes:
+ The diaphragm
+ External intercostals
+
+ These muscles contract when air is flowing in and thoracic cavity increases. When the diaphragm contracts it slides inferiorly
and is depressed. As a result the thoracic cavity increases. The contraction of the external intercostals muscles lifts the rib
cage and thrusts the sternum forward. This increases the anteroposterior and lateral dimensions of the thorax.
+
+ Expirationalso called expiration. It the process of breathing out air as it leaves the lungs. This process causes the gases to
flow out to equalize the pressure inside and outside the lungs. Under normal circumstances, the process of expiration is
effortless.
