anatomy Flashcards
origin of phrenic nerve
C3,4,5
features of phrenic nerve
travel with JVP, supplies pericardium, leave through diaphragm
path of right phrenic nerve
anterior to right vagus, lateral to superior vena cava
right of pericardium
passes to right atrium to exit diaphragm at T8
path of left phrenic nerve
pass lateral to left subclavian artery, aortic arch, left ventricle
pass anterior to root of lungs
pierce through diaphragm
function of vagus nerve
provides parasympathetic supply to organs of the thorax and abdomen
sensory and motor features
vertebral position of larynx
C3-C6
nerve supply for diagram
C3,4,5
which valve only has 2 cusps while all the others have 3
mitral valve
define vital capacity
maximum volume of air that can be expire after maximal inspiration
where does vena cava perforate diaphragm
T8
where does oesophagus perforate diaphragm
T10
layers of the blood vessels inner to outer
endothelium
tunica intima
tunica media
tunica externa
where does aorta perforate diaphragm
T12: aortic hiatus
which 2 main artery branches supply the large intestines
superior mesenteric: ascending and transverse
inferior mesenteric: descending, sigmoid, upper rectal
branches of the superior mesenteric artery (caecum-> transverse)
ileocecal (caecum)-> right colic (ascending)-> middle colic (transverse)
