Q

How is it that the lungs have a “dual aterial supply”? What does the second set do? Describe it?

23
Q

Describe pleural pain and pleuritis.

A

While the lung tissue itself is not sensative to pain, the parietal pleaura is richly supplied by the intercostal and phrenic nerves. This means that irriation can cause local or refered pain.

26
Q

Describe the position and relationship of the coronary veins

A

The Great cardiac veing moves from the left anterior midportion, over the left anteior superior border and crosses from left to right to join the Coronary sinus.

The middle cardiac vein follows a mirror in the transvers, moving from left anterior posterior around the base of the ventricles and up to the cornary sinus.

the small cardiac originates on the right anterior posterior surfaces and wraps around the lateral border to the Sinus.

the Oblique vein of the atria feed directly to the Sinus from the Posterior superior regions.

27
Q

Define Cardiac Tamponade

A

Effusion within in the pericardium. Effectively “compression of the heart”

Hemopericardium - blood in the paricadium is associated with distended veins in the face and neck.

33
Q

What is the linea alba

A

Runs vertically the length of the anterior abdominal wall, separating the rectus sheaths. It transmits small vessles and nerves to the skin. Contains the umbilical ring.

34
Q

What is the Umbilicus

A

A defect in the linea alba through which the fetal umbilical cord and placenta passed. All lyaers of the anterolateral abdominal wall fuse here.

35
Q

what are the linia semilunares

A

40
Q

What are the two types of inguinal hernias?

A

Direct and Indirect, with Indirect being twice as common.

Idirect comes from a persisting processus vaginalis. presses out through the sperficial inguinal right from within the spermatic cord. Common to pass into the scrotum

Direct, exits through the peritoneum and transcersalis fascia through the superficial inguinal ring lateral to the spermatic cord, rarely enters scrotum.
