9 11 Anatomy-Table 1 Flashcards
What is Dyspnea
difficulty breathing
What is Dysphagia
difficullty swallowing
How can Enlargement of the aorta lead to horseness of voice
by pressing on the left recurent laryngial nerve. (a branch of the vegas nerve)
How can Enlargement of the aorta lead to engorgement of veins in upper limbs and face/
obstuctionof the SVC
How can Enlargement of the aorta lead to dyspnea
compresssion of trachea
How can Enlargement of the aorta lead to Dyshpagia
compression of esophagus
how can we identify the trachia in a CT
the inside is the same color as the lungs! (black)
what part of the airway is i the inferior and superior of the metiastynum
the trachea is in the superior, and the left and right primary branches and the corina enter into the inferior
what are the structures under the sternal angel?
rib 2; aortic arch (begin and end); Trachia branch (corina); Pulmonary trunck (splitting towards the two lungs); Ligamentum arteriosus; azygous vein (just before it goes into the back of the SVC); Nerves (the L Recurent larengeal verve of the vegas nerves coming down, and the sympathetic chain); Thorasic duct (the largest lymphatic vessel
what are the brachial syphalic?
this is left and right biforcation of the SVC that then biforcates to give rise to the L/R Jugular, and L/R sub-clavical veins.
what is more ventral in the thorax, arteries or veins?
the viens are on a more vental plane.
what are the major arteries to the head from the aortic arch
the right common corroded artery and the left common corroded artery
what are the major branches off of the aortic arch from the aortic valve outward?
Brachiocephalic truck (that quickly bi-forcates to the right subclavian and the right common carotid); Left com Carotid; and the left subclavian
what is a coarct
a norrowing (like putting a belt on something!
explain how blood cold bypass a coarct in the aorta
up the arotic arch, up the left subclavian, down the internal thoracic artery, and through the intercostal artery, and then back to the post coarct abdominal aorta.
what sections of the body don’t drain into the thoracic duct
the R. upper quadrant of the body, including the right side of the head, and right shoulder, and the right arm.
explain referred pain
pain in visceral organs is often perceived to be somatic in origin, referred to somatic regions of the body that receive innervation from the same spinal cord segments.
what would cause the right jugular pulse?
the closure of the tricuspid valve during systole and the contraction of the RA during the end of diastole
What muscle is innervated by the long thoracic nerve?
the anterior seratus muscle
what spinal cord level provides the source of the greater splanchnic nerve?
the sympathetic innervation for the posterior mediastinum and causes dilation o arteriors supplying the foregut (stomach liver etc.) comes from the spinal cord T5-T9 level and through the sympathetic chain.
where is the sternal angle?
at the anterior T2 rib level just below the manubrium, where the sternal body and the manubrium meet
what is another name for the sternal angle?
The Manubrial sternal joint
what is the angle of the manubrial sternal joint?
163 Degree
what rib articulates the sternal angel
