Anatomy Flashcards
- What are the anatomical relationships of trachea?
It is a flexible tube that extends from Cervical 6 basically from our larynx to Thoracic 4 vertebrae in the mediastinum where it bifurcates دو شاخه می شود into the right and left main (principal) bronchus.
- Where is the location of trachea?
- Posteriorly
- Laterally
- Anteriorly
- Posteriorly: related to the oesophagus
- Laterally: to common carotid arteries and thyroid lobes
- Anteriorly: related to thyroid gland, infra hyoid muscles.
- What is the length of trachea? and what are its looks?
THE LENGTH RANGES FROM 9-11 cm.
The trachea I held open by 16-20 C shaped transverse cartilage hemi-rings embedded in its wall.
- Explain the posterior wall of trachea?
Also how much is the diameter of trachea in adults and babies?
THE POSTERIOR WALL of trachea is membranous, paries membranaceous. It is flat, formed by involuntary trachealis muscle.
In adults the trachea is approximately 2.5 cm in the diameter.
In infants it has a diameter of a pencil.
- What is the function of trachea?
It transports air to and from the lungs, and its epithelium propels debris-laden mucus toward the pharynx for exclusion محرومیت from the mouth.
- What is sceletotopy of the lungs?
General answer.
Each lung has a half cone shape, with a base, apex, two surfaces and three borders. The base sits on the diaphragm. The spec projects above the rib 1 and into the root of neck.
- What is sceletotopy of the right lung?
- Apex
- Anterior border
- Posterior border
- Inferior border
Right lung
- Apex:
Is located at the thoracic 1 vertebrae
3-5 cm up to the superior thoracic aperture
- Anterior border: Descends at the sternal line, then reaches the median sagittal plane and at the right medioclavicular line ends crossing the 6 rib.
- Posterior border: Corresponds with line that descends through the joints and heads of ribs.
- Inferior border: starts at the right medioclavicular line as it crosses the 6th rib.
Then the inferior border crosses the 7th rib at the anterior axillar line, the 8th rib at the median axillar line, the 8th rib at the posterior axillar line, the 10th rib at the scapular line and 11th rib at paravertebral line.
- What is sceletotopy of the left lung?
Say the main difference!
- Anterior border
- Inferior border
The borders of left lung are similar to the border of right lung with EXCEPTION OF INCISURA CARDIACA (cardiac notch)!
–> The left lung shares space with the heart, and has an indentation تورفتگی in its border called the cardiac notch of the left lung to accommodate this.
- Anterior border:
Descends at the sternal line then descend till the 4th rib, then goes horizontally along the 4th rib to the left medioclavicular line and descends to 6th rib. - Inferior border:
Is 1-1,5 cm more down the inferior border of the right lung.
- What are the drainage of paranasal sinuses?
- Frontal
Drains into the ethmoidal infundibulum, which opens into the semilunar hiatus of the middle nasal meatus.
- What are the drainage of paranasal sinuses?
- Anterior ethmoidal cells
Drain into the middle nasal meatus through the ethmoidal infundibulum.
- What are the drainage of paranasal sinuses?
- Middle ethmoidal cells
From ethmoidal bulla open directly into the superior meatus
- What are the drainage of paranasal sinuses?
- Posterior ethmoidal cells
Open directly into the superior meatus.
- What are the drainage of paranasal sinuses?
- Sphenoid sinus
Sphenoethmoidal recess receives the opening. The posterior cells open through sphenoethmoidal recess into the superior meatus.
- What are the drainage of paranasal sinuses?
- Maxillary sinus
The largest of sinuses and occupy the bodies of maxillae and communicates with the middle meatus through the semilunar hiatus.
- What are innervation of larynx and injury of laryngeal nerves during thyroidectomy?
- Superior laryngeal nerve
- Inferior laryngeal nerve
- Injury of laryngeal nerve
The nerves of the larynx are the superior and inferior laryngeal branches of the vagus nerve.
- Superior laryngeal nerve –> arises from the inferior vagal ganglion
- Inferior laryngeal nerve –> is the continuation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve
- Injury of laryngeal nerve –> Because the inferior laryngeal nerve, the continuation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, innervates the muscles moving the vocal folds, paralysis of vocal folds results when the nerve is injured.
To avoid injury to the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (during thyroidectomy), the superior thyroid artery is ligated بسته شده and sectioned more superior to the gland, where it is not as closely related to the nerves.
- Eparteric bronchi, what are the definitions and examples?
Lobar bronchi
Eparterial bronchus (right main and right superior lobar bronchus) –> is a branch of the right main/principal bronchus given off about 2.5 cm from the bifurcation دوشاخه شدن of the trachea.
This branch supplies the superior lobe of the right lung and is the most superior of all secondary/lobar bronchi.
It arises ABOVE the level of pulmonary artery, and for this reason is named the eparietal bronchus.
- Hyparteric bronchi, what are the definitions and examples?
Lobar bronchi
Those bronchi that pass BELOW the pulmonary arteries, right middle and inferior lobar bronchi and left superior & inferior lobar bronchi.
- Arteries of nasal cavity:
–> the arterial supply of the medial and lateral walls of nasal cavity is from 5 sources.
-Anterior ethmoidal artery
From the ophthalmic artery
- Arteries of nasal cavity:
–> the arterial supply of the medial and lateral walls of nasal cavity is from 5 sources.
-Posterior ethmoidal artery
From the ophthalmic artery
- Arteries of nasal cavity:
–> the arterial supply of the medial and lateral walls of nasal cavity is from 5 sources.
-Sphenopalatine artery
From the maxillary artery
- Arteries of nasal cavity:
–> the arterial supply of the medial and lateral walls of nasal cavity is from 5 sources.
-Greater palatine artery
From the maxillary artery
- Arteries of nasal cavity:
–> the arterial supply of the medial and lateral walls of nasal cavity is from 5 sources.
-Septal branch of the superior labial artery
From the facial artery
- Venous anastomoses between in the external nose ophthalmic vein that drains into cavernous sinus and angular vein that drains into facial vein.
A rich submucosal venous plexus deep to the nasal mucosa drains into veins:
-Sphenopalatine, facial, ophthalmic
- Venous blood from external nose drains into —— via angular vein.
–> Facial vein
External nose is “danger area” –> Because the angular vein communicates with the cavernous sinus.
