25
Q

What is the central tendon?

A

a strong aponeurosis upon which all the muscle fibers of the diaphragm insert on

26
Q

Where does a CDH usually occur?

A

periphery of diaphragm in the lumbocostal triangle

5 x more likely on the LEFT side

27
Q

What causes a CDH?

A

POSTEROLATERAL DEFECT

Failure of fusion of the pleuroperitoneal membrane w/ the septum transversum–> weak area that organs/intestines can herniate through

28
Q

What is a hiatal hernia?

A

when adominal viscera herniate through the ESOPHAGEAL HIATUS

29
Q

What passes through the hiatus for the IVC? What level?

A

RIGHT T8

IVC
Right phrenic nere

30
Q

What passes through the esophageal hiatus? WHat level?

A

Left at T10

Esophagus
Vagal trunks
anastomotic vessels between esophagus and stomach

31
Q

What passes through the aortic hiatus? What level?

A

T12 (R and L crura, Median AL, vertebral column)

Aorta
thoracic duct
azygos and hemiazygos veins

32
Q

Minor openings in the diaphragm are for…

A

Splanchnic nerves in the R and L crus

superior epigastric vessels at sternocostal triangle

33
Q

What a. supplies the posterior aspect of the diaphragm?

A

thoracic aorta> SUPERIOR PHRENIC ARTERIES

34
Q

What a. supplies the central area of the diaphragm?

A

internal thoracic arteries > PERICARDIOPHRENIC ARTERIES (accompany phrenic nerves)

35
Q

What a. supplies the periphery of the diaphragm?

A

(terminal branch) internal thoracic a. –> MUSCULOPHRENIC ARTERY

36
Q

What arteries that supply the diaphragm arise superior to it?

A

SUPERIOR PHRENIC A.
PERICARDIOPHRENIC A.
MUSCULOPHRENIC A.

37
Q

What arteries that supply the diaphragm arise inferior to it (from the 1st branches of the aorta in the abdomen)?

A

branch from abdominal aorta inferior to the hiatus> INFERIOR PHRENIC A.

38
Q

What is the major source of blood to the diaphragm?

A

inferior phrenic a.

39
Q

Venous drainage of the diaphragm parallels the arteries, so the chief route is through what vein?

A

INFERIOR PHRENIC VEIN> L. suprarenal v. > L renal vein

40
Q

What is the motor supply to the diaphragm?

A

SOMATIC efferents in the PHRENIC nerves

C3,4,5 keep the diaphragm alive!

41
Q

What are the two somatic afferent sources to the diaphragm?

A

PHRENIC = central area of diaphragm

INTERCOSTAL= peripheral inch of diaphragm

42
Q

What causes referred pain to the shoulder?

A

Irritation to the peritoneum covering the diaphragm > phrenic nerve C3,4,5 (same as shoulder–supraclavicular nerves C3,C4 from cervical plexus)> wrongly interpreted at higher centers.

43
Q

What causes parietal referred pain?

A

Peripheral irritation of the peritoneum> afferents in intercostal nerves> pain in thoracic wall

44
Q

What causes hiccups?

A

Irritation of aff or eff endings in the phrenic nerves> involuntary spasm of diaphragm and glottis

45
Q

What causes abdominal straining?

A

Diaphragm contracting increases the intraabdominal pressure that is needed to poop and shit.

46
Q

What is the cisterna chyli?

A

Sac like structure between the aorta and right crus of the diaphragm that passes behind the median AL to empty into the THORACIC DUCT.
