Anatomy 2 Pleura Sept28 M1 Flashcards
two sides of pleura
visceral on lung side
parietal on chest side
Different names of parietal pleura depending on location
Cervical (on top)
Costal (middle)
Diaphragmatic (bottom)
Mediastinal (on interior side facing heart)
what mediastinal means and what sits in correspond region
comes from mediastinum, region where heart sits
T-F: parietal and visceral pleura are separate
F: are continuous
volume of fluid in pleural cavity
8-10 mL
Consequence of disruption of intrapleural pressure
dyspnea
pneumothorax def and what happens
hole in pleura, air enters it
hemothorax def
blood enters pleural cavity
What is mediastinal shift, when it happens and consequence
heart moves to side where lung collapsed. (happens in severe pneumothorax) Compromises hemodynamic stability
which pleura has nervous innervation and why
both
visceral pleura sensitivity what innervates it and where pain is referred
Autonomic innervation, insensitive to pain
innervation of parietal pleura
Intercostal nerves innervate cervical, costal and exterior portion of diaphragmatic pleura
Phrenic nerve innervates interior or diaphragmatic pleura and mediastinal pleura
Pain to parietal pleura: where it is referred
If sensed by intercostal nerves: refer to lateral thoracic and abdominal walls
sensed by phrenic nerve: refers to neck and shoulders
Parietal pleura: somatic or autonomic innervation
somatic
pain in diaphragm: where it is felt
neck and shoulder
name of pleural cavities (what we say instead of cavities) and how many
pleural recesses, two
pleural recesses location, name and direction of expansion
costomediastinal recess (mediastinal, interior, expand on side) costodiaphragmatic recess: below lung on above diaphragm (expand vertically)
lobes in right and left lung
right: superior, middle, inferior
left: superior inferior
fissures in right and left lung
right and left have oblique fissure to separate superior (+ middle in right) from inferior
right has horizontal fissure to separate middle and superior
name of surface on bottom of lung
diaphragmatic surface
two characteristic structures of left lung and where
cardiac notch (on mediastinal surface in bottom) lingula, bottom interior
name of top of the lung and where it is
apex. 2-4 cm above clavicle
which lung bigger and why
right bc heart sits more towards left so left smaller
impressions in right lung
posterior to anterior: esophagus, azygos vein, SVC
impressions in left lung
posterior to anterior: aorta, cardiac impression
impression def
characteristics created by fixation bc surfaces stick together
lines used as anatomy landmarks to find chest structures on each side
parasternal lines: on each side of sternum
mid-clavicular lines: vertical lines that cross middle of clavicle on each side
How to find horizontal fissure
is along rib 4 in right lung
how to find oblique fissure
at rib 6 and mid-clavicular lines crossing, then goes up, to the side and to the back
right lung lobes position in front
sup: rib 1-4
middle: rib 5-6
inf: rib 6 to the back
left lung lobes position in front
sup: rib 1-6
inf: rib 6 to the back
where to place stethoscope for auscultation of apex
above clavicle
where to place stethoscope for auscultation of superior lobe of RIGHT lung
between ribs 2 and 3 on front
