Anatomy of Coughing Flashcards
What is contained in the carotid sheath
Jugular vein, common carotid artery, internal carotid artery and CNX
Phrenic nerve
Anterior rami of C3, 4 and 5
Muscles of normal inspiration
Internal intercostal, external intercostal and innermost intercostal muscles
Intercostal nerves
Anterior rami of spinal nerves T1-T11
Accessory muscles of deep inspiration
Sternocleidomastoid, scalene, pectoralis major and minor
How does the pectorals major move the ribs
Upwards and outwards
What position must the body be in for the pectoralis major to work during deep inspiration?
Upper limb position is fixed
Where does the pectoralis major attach?
between sternum/ribs and humerus
how does the pectoralis minor move the ribs
moves them superiorly towards coracoid process pf scapula
where do the scalenus muscles attach
between C vertebrae and ribs 1 and 2
which nerve controls the rima glottidis
CNX
what type of muscle is the intrinsic muscles of the larynx
skeletal (voluntary) muscle
where does CNX exit the skull
jugular foramen
where does the CNX arise
medulla oblongata of brainstem
How is intra-abdominal pressure built up and what does it do
By contract of the anterolateral abdominal wall muscles (intercostal nerves)
Pushes the diaphragm superiorly
what are the muscles of deep expiration
anterolateral abdominal wall muscles
anterolateral abdominal wall muscles include
rectus abdominus (6 pack) external obliques internal obliques transverse abdominus
what is an aponeurosis
a sheet of pearly white fibrous tissue that takes the place of a tendon in sheet like muscles with a wide area of attachment
where do the aponeuroses of the right and left obliques and transverse abdominus blend
midline linea alba
where do muscle fibres end and aponeuroses begin
linea semilunaris
where does external oblique attach superiorly
superficial aspects of lower ribs
