2: Diaphragm & Pleurae Flashcards
Most important skeletal muscle in respiration
Diaphragm
Thoracic cavity is divide by the sternal angle
Imaginary line from sternal angle to T4
Superior mediastinum bounded anterior/posteriorly
Anterior: manubrium
Posteriorly: vertebral bodies of T1-4
Anterior mediastinum
Space between pericardium and stern on
Middle mediastinum
Heart and pericardium
Posterior mediastinum
Between pericardium and vertebral column
Right crura arise from
L1-3/4
Left crura arise from
L1-2/3
Which crura is longer
Right
What unites the right and left crura to
Median arcuate ligament
The Median arcuate ligament forms the
Aortic Haitus
Thickening of fascia of psoas major
Medial arcuate ligament
Thickening of fascia over quadratics lumborum
Lateral arcuate ligament
Diaphragmatic aperatures (openings) in diiaphragm
I ATE TEN EGGS AT NOON
Inferior vena cava at T8
Esophogus at T10
Thoracic aorta at T12
Somatic motor innervation of diaphragm
Phrenic nerve C3-5
Other than somatic motor, the phrenic also carries
Sensory information, pain and propioception
Peripheral parts of diaphragm receive sensory innervation from
Lower intercostal nerves
Action of Diaphragm during inhalation and exhalation
Inhale: contracts, moves downward
Exhale: relaxes, moved upwards
Blood supply of the superior surface of diaphragm
- Musculophrenic (branch of ITA)
- Pericardiophrenic (branch of ITA)
- Superior phrenic (branch of thoraic aorta)
Blood supply of the inferior surface of diaphragm
Inferior phrenic (branch of abdominal aorta)
Musculophrenic and percarrdiphrenic are branch’s of
Internal thoracic artery
Superior phrenic is branch of
Thoracic artery
Inferior phrenic is branch of
Abdominal aorta
Venous supply of the superior surface of diaphragm
- Musculophrenic to the ITV
- Pericardiacophrenic to the ITV
- Superior phrenic to the IVC
Venous supply of the inferior surface of diaphragm
- Inferior phrenic to the IVC
