Q

Name and explain the atypical ribs.

A
  1. Rib I: Short, flat and horizontally oriented, No costal groove (anterior and posterior grooves for subclavian vein and artery respectively), articulates with vertebral bone of own level only
  2. Rib II: smaller like rib I, but 2x as long, flat and horizontally oriented – all other features are typical
  3. Rib X – Only articulates with vertebral bone at own level, all other features are typical

Q

What does disruption of intra-pleural pressure leads to?

A
  • Dyspnea: mediastinal shift in severe pneumothorax compromises hemodynamic stability.

54
Q

are all veins containing deoxygenated blood ? What about arteries containing only oxygenated blood ?

A

Yes, but 2 exceptions

  • pulmonary artery : deoxygenated blood towards the lungs to be oxygenated
  • pulmonary vein : oxygenated blood towards the heart to be delivered to the body

you should say that an artery always leaves the heart while a vein always comes to the heart

56
Q

Define the innervation of the trachea and lungs ?

A

2 different contribution, one from the sympathetic and one from the parasympathetic (always autonomic nervous system)

  • vagus nerve: parasympathetic innervation
  • T1-T6 from the spinal cord : sympathetic innervation
57
Q

what is the venous angle ?

A
  • convergence of the internal jugular vein and the subclavian vein​ to become the brachiocephalic vein
