Q

patho of pneumothorax

A

trauma or damage allows air into pleural cavity, lung collapses due to its inherent elasticity (normally prevented by surface tension b/w parietal layers)

Q

autonomic innervation

A

pulmonary plexus has both SNS and PSNS, located at bifurcation of trachea

SNS dilates brochioles and PSNS constricts

Q

differentiate azygos, hemiazygos and accessory hemiazygos

A

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

Q

location and fn of thoracic duct

A

located b/w aorta and azygos vein, begins in abdomen and empties lymph from RLQ, LLQ, LUQ in junction of left internal jugular and subclavian veins

RUQ drains right lymphatic duct

20
Q

location and fn of splanchnic nerves

A

sympathetic nerves from throax to abdomen, innervate organs in this region

21
Q

3 different layers of deep cervical fascia, why they are useful

A

investing layer: outer layer around deeper structures

prevertebral layer: around vertebral column and associate muscles

pretracheal layer: around thyroid, trachea, esophagus

can determine spread of infection

22
Q

carotid sheath

A

tubular fascial sheath with fascia from other layers, contains common carotid, IJV, and vagus nerve

23
Q

large veins in order as they empty into the heart

A

on both sides, internal jugular veins means subclavians to form brachiocephalic, then empty into SVC

24
Q

venous angle

A

juntion of IJV and subclavian vein, location where many lymphatic vessels join circulation (thoracic duct in left venous angle)

25
Q

major branches from aortic arch

A

brachiocephalic trunk on the right (gives rise to right common carotid and right subclavian), left subclavian, left common carotid

26
Q

first branch of the external carotid

A

superior thyroid artery

27
Q

receptors at the carotid bifurcation

A

carotid body: chemoreceptor monitoring O2 levels

carotid sinus: dilation near base of internal carotid that acts as baroreceptor

28
Q

innervation of carotid receptors

A

glossopharyngeal nerve CN IX

29
Q

3 parts of subclavian artery

A

1st is medial to anterior scalene, 2nd is posterior, 3rd is lateral to the muscle- after this is is the axillary artery

30
Q

4 main branches of subclavian artery

A

VITamin C:

vertebral artery, Internal thoracic, thyrocervical trunk, costocervical

31
Q

vertebral artery

A

ascends w/i transverse foramina to supply brain and spinal cord

32
Q

main branch of thyrocervical trunk

A

inferior thyroid artery

33
Q

development of thyroid gland

A

forms at base of tongue and descends thru thyroglossal duct in the neck

34
Q

structure of thyroid

A

two lobes connected by isthmus, can sometimes have pyramidal lobe as superior projection

35
Q

blood supply of thyroid

A

superior thyroid from external carotid, inferior thyroid from thyrocervical trunk off of subclavian

in some ppl thyroid ima artery from brachiocephalic trunk

36
Q

blood supply of parathyroids

A

inferior thyroid arteries (branch of thyocervial trunk, itself a branch of the subclavian)

37
Q

what else to find near anterior scalene

A

brachial plexus and subclavian artery b/w anterior and middle scalene, subclavian vein is anterior to anterior scalene, phrenic nerve lies on the anterior surface of anterior scalene

38
Q

3 suprahyoid muscles

A

mylohyoid, digastric muscle (anterior and posterior bellies), stylohyoid

39
Q

4 infrahyoid muscles

A

sternohyoid, sternothyroid, omohyoid, thyrohyoid

names based on first part=origin, second=attachment

40
Q

innervation of infrahyoid muscles

A

cervical plexus, specifically the ansa cervicalis

41
Q

cervical plexus

A

ventral rami of C1-4, motor branches form loop called ansa cervicalis

42
Q

lesser occipital, greater auricular, transverse cervical, supraclavicular

43
Q

45
Q

carotid triangle

A

A

in right sided heart failure, blood is backed up in EJV and is visible on the neck, amount of distortion is proportional to extent of heart failure
