Q

Main differences between jejunum and ileum

A
  • Jejunum is thicker and more vascular - Jejunum wider lumen - Jejunum has circum mucosal folds that are large, tall, closely packed. - Peyer’s patches: aggregated lymphatic follicles in the lamina propria of the ileum and lower jejunum (MALT)

Q

What happens to GIT sphincters in parasympathetic innervation?

A

Sphincters open up. Parasympathetic innervation induces peristalsis. S2-3-4 keeps the poo on the floor (peristaltic movement opens sphincter and poop comes out).

Q

A

sympathetic visceral afferents for the most part… EXCEPT for visceral afferents that detect distension of stomach. Those travel w parasympathetic fibres to hypothalamus to tell us to stop eating.

Q

What is the anatomical and clinical importance of the plane from the sternal angle to T4/5 intervertebral disk? (4)

A

Important for counting ribs (articulates with rib II), bifurcation of trachea, beginning and end of aortic arch, top of middle mediastinum (and divides superior and inferior mediastinum).

Q

Describe the neurovascular contents of an intercostal space

A

Intercostal vein, artery, and nerve (in that order from posterior to inferior)

Q

Describe the course of an intercostal neurovascular bundle and the importance of this for intercostal nerve blocks and the insertion of chest drains.

A

The bundle travels along the top of each intercostal space in the costal groove of the rib above.

Intercostal nerve is the anterior ramus of a thoracic spinal nerve (T1-T11) and is the least protected structure in the costal groove because it is at the bottom.

Q

At which vertebral level does the trachea bifurcate?

A

T4/5

30
Q
A

L and R coronary ostia (openings for coronary artery originating from aorta)

31
Q

what remnants of fetal circulation are still visible in the adult heart?

A

fossa ovalis (formerly: foramen ovale)

ligamentum arteriousum (formerly: ductus arteriosus)

32
Q

Differences between heart chambers

A

R ventricle has moderator band

Ventricles have papillary muscle with chrodae tendinae and trabeculae. Atria have musculi pectinati.

33
Q

Where does the esophagues pass the the diaphragm?

A

T10

34
Q

What indentations are normally seen in the esophagus on barium swallow

A

aorta, left main bronchus, left atrium.

35
Q

the diagnostic importance of the relationship between the esophagus with the arch of aorta, L main bronchus, and L atrium

A

fidelity of transesophageal achocardiogram

36
Q

Where does the trachea bifurcate

A

T4/5

37
Q

Clinical importance of the different sizes and courses of the L and R primary bronchi

A

Right is fatter and steeper. Means that it is more common for intubation to slip into R only or for foreign body to end up there.

38
Q

Course of Vagus nerve

A
39
Q

Origin, course, and function of phrenic nerve

A

c3-5; innervates diaphragm (and heart a bit)

40
Q

why can pathology of the thorax present as a change in voice?

A

bc L recurrent laryngeal nerve branches fromt he vagus nerve, which goal sall the way down to loop under the art of aorta and behind the ligamentum arteriosum before innervating the larynx.

41
Q

Q

Positions of the inguinal rings

A

Deep inguinal ring is in the fascia tranversalis

Superficial inguinal ring is in the external oblique aponeurosis

48
Q

Direct vs indirect inguinal hernias

A

Direct inguinal hernias bypass the deep inquinal ring to get into the inguinal canal

49
Q

What goes through the inguinal canal?

A

Male: spermatic cord

Female: round ligament

*both contain remnants of the processes vaginalis

50
Q

Conjoint tendon

A

arises from the fusion of internal oblique aponeurosis and tranverse abdominus aponerosis, medial to inguinal canal
