Anatomy 2- Neck and mediastinum Flashcards
location and fn of phrenic nerve
b/w parietal pleura and pericardium, comes from C3,4, and 5
innervates diaphragm, sensory signals from all three of these things
principal and accessory muscles of inspiration
principal: diaphragm and ext intercostals
accessory: SCM, scalenes
muscles of expiration
passive process during quiet breathing, int intercostals and abs during active breathing
differentiate the pleural layers
parietal pleura assoc w/ walls of pleural cavity, visceral pleura w/ surface of the lung
pleural cavity is potential space b/w the two
4 divisions of the parietal pleura
costal, diaphragmatic, mediastinal, cervical (aka sibson’s fascia)
define hilum and root of lung
hilum is the bare location where mediastinal pleura reflects, makes way for the root which contains vessels and airways
pleural recesses
2 regions where lungs are not present except for forced inspiration: costomediastinal recess and costodiaphragmatic
patho of pneumothorax
trauma or damage allows air into pleural cavity, lung collapses due to its inherent elasticity (normally prevented by surface tension b/w parietal layers)
Sx and Tx of pneumothorax
Sx: diminished breath sounds, distended neck veins
Tx: needle decompression, allow air to escap
structure of right lung
3 lobes: superior, middle and inferior,
10 bronchopulmonary segments
oblique fissure divides inferior and superior, horizontal fissure divides superior and middle
left lung structure
superior lobe w/ lingula, inferior lobe and they are divided by oblique fissure
8 bronchopulmonary segments
components of bronchopulmonary segemtns
each gets its own tertiary branch of a pulm artery and bronchus, veins run b/w segments
source of bronchial arteries
from branches of aorta, run along with bronchi
bronchial veins drainage site
drain into azygos system
diff b/w pulmonary and bronchial arteries
pulm bring deoxy blood to alveoli, bronchial bring oxy blood to lung tissues
lymphatic drainage of the lungs
drain into tracheobronchial lymph nodes which send efferent vessels into bronchomediastinal trunks
autonomic innervation
pulmonary plexus has both SNS and PSNS, located at bifurcation of trachea
SNS dilates brochioles and PSNS constricts
differentiate azygos, hemiazygos and accessory hemiazygos
azygos: right side, receives blood from right intercostals and empties into SVC
Hemiazygos: left side, lower 4 intercostals
accessory hemiazygos: middle left 4 posterior intercostals
