A

Oropharyngeal mucosa
Laropharyngeal mucosa
Laryngeal mucosa

37
Q

Carotid Sheaths

A

Protective “tubes” of cervical (neck) deep fascia
Attach superiorly to the bones of the base of the skull
Blends inferiorly with the fascia of the mediastinum

38
Q

What do carotid sheaths contain?

A

The vagus nerve
The internal carotid artery
The common carotid artery
The internal jugular vein

39
Q

What are the intercostal nerves

A

The anterior rami of T1-T11

40
Q

What are the muscles of normal (quiet) inspiration?

A

External intercostal muscles
Internal intercostal muscles
Innermost intercostal muscles

41
Q

What are the accessory muscles of deep (forced) inspiration?

A

Pectoralis major
Pectoralis minor
Sternocleidomastoid
Scalenus anterior, medius & posterior

42
Q

What do the intrinsic muscles of the larynx do during the cough reflex

A

Adduct the vocal cords to close the rima glottidis

43
Q

What are the intrinsic muscles of the larynx supplied by?

A

(Somatic) motor branches of the vagus nerve

44
Q

Where does the vagus nerve connect with the CNS

A

Medulla oblongata of the brainstem

45
Q

Linea Alba

A

The midline where the aponeurosis of the right abdominal muscles blend with the aponeurosis of the left abdominal muscles

46
Q

Superior attachment of the right external oblique

A

The superficial aspects of the lower ribs

47
Q

Inferior attachment of the external oblique

A

The anterior part of the iliac crest & the pubic tubercle

48
Q

Superior attachment of the internal oblique

A

The inferior border of the lower ribs

49
Q

Inferior attachment of the internal oblique

A

The iliac crest & the thoracolumbar fascia of the lower back

50
Q

Superior attachment of the transervsus abdominus

A

Deep aspects of the lower ribs

51
Q

Inferior attachment of the transversus abdominus

A

The iliac crest & the thoracolumbar fascia of the lower back

52
Q

The iliohypogastric nerve (half of L1 anterior ramus)
The ilioinguinal nerve (the other half of L1 anterior ramus)

53
Q

Functions of the anterolateral abdominal wall muscles

A

Maintain posture
Support the vertebral column
Movement of the vertebral column
Protect the abdominal viscera (guarding contractions)
Increase intra-abdominal pressure to assist defecation, micturition, labour
Contractions aid forced expiration

54
Q

Small pneumothorax

A

<2cm gap between lung and parietal pleura

55
Q

Large pneumothorax

A

> 2cm gap between lung and parietal pleura

56
Q

Causes of air entering the pleural cavity

A

Penetrating injury to parietal pleura

Rupture of visceral pleura

57
Q

Tension pneumothorax

A

Torn pleura creates one-way valve that permits air to enter the pleural cavity on inspiration but prevents air escaping on expiration
With each inspiration more air enters pleural cavity
Pneumothorax expands & the lung collapses towards its root
Build up of air in the pleural cavity applies tension (pressure) to the mediastinal structures

58
Q

Conseuqences of mediastinal shift

A

Tracheal deviation

SVC compression reduces venous return to the heart causing hypotension (low bp)

59
Q

Two factors required for development of herniae

A

Weakness of one structure: commonly a part of the body wall
Increased pressure on one side of that part of the wall

60
Q

Where do diaphragmatic herniae develop?

A 
Attachments to the xyphoid
Caval opening
Aortic Hiatus
Oesophageal hiatus
Posterior attachments
61
Q

Paraoesophageal hiatus hernia

A

The herniated part of the stomach passes through the oesophageal hiatus to become parallel to the oesophagus & in the chest

62
Q

Sliding hiatus hernia

A

The herniated part of the stomach slides through the oesophageal hiatus into the chest with the gastro-oesophageal junction

63
Q

Inguinal hernia

A

Between anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and pubic tubercle

64
Q

Cremasteric fascia

A

A covering of skeletal muscle fibres from the internal oblique
Allows testes to contract and relax
