Anatomy Of Pleura & Lung & Respiratory System Development Flashcards
The parietal & visceral pleura are continuous at the …… & leave a fold called ……
Pleural cuff, pulmonary ligament
The visceral pleura leaves the lung to become continous with parietal …..
Medially, around the hilum of the lung & for a short distance below it
Mention the divisions of parietal pleura
Cervical, costal, diaphragmatic & mediastinal
The cervical pleura is crossed anteriorly by …., & related posteriorly to …,…&…. .
Subclavian artery
Stellate ganglion, superior intercostal artery & ventral ramus of first thoracic nerve
Mention the attachments of Sibson’s fascia
Attached laterally to the inner border of the 1st rib and medially to the 7th cervical transverse process
…… separates the costal pleura from the thoracic wall.
Endothoracic fascia
Which divison of parietal pleura is continuous with visceral
Mediastinal pleura
The pleural recessses are represented by …….. which are opposed
Two layers of parietal peritoneum
Costomediastinal recess is opposition between ……, on left side overlies the ….. .
Costal pleura & mediastinal pleura
Heart
The costodiaphragmatic recesses are regions between ….&….
The inferior margin of the lungs & inferior margin of the pleural cavities
Describe innervation of parietal pleura
By somatic nerves (sensitive to pain, temp, pressure & touch)
The costal & peripheral diaphragmatic are supplied by intercostal nerves.
The mediastinal & central diaphragmatic are supplied by phrenic nerves.
Describe the nerve supply of visceral pleura.
Autonomic nerves from ant & post pulmonary plexuses, sensitive to stretch
Describe the blood supply/lymph drainage of parietal pleura
Intercostal, internal thoracic & musculophrenic vessels
Intercostal, parasternal, posterior mediastinal & diaphragmatic L.N.
Describe referred pain of pleurae
- thoracic & abdominal wall if costal and peripheral parts of diaphragmatic pleura are inflammed.
- lower neck & shoulder tip if the mediastinal and central part of diaphragmatic are inflammed.
Name the filling of pleural cavity with air, pus, air&pus, blood & fluid.
Pneumothorax, empyema, pyopneumothorax, haemothorax & hydrothorax (pleural effusion)
Describe the relations of the apex of lungs
Anterosuperiorly: suprapleural membrane outside cervical pleura & the subclavian artery.
Posteriorly: stellate ganglion, superior intercostal vessels & ventral ramus of 1st thoracic spinal nerve.
Relations of base of lung
Related to diaphragm separating:
- right lung from right lobe of liver.
- left lung from left lobe of liver, fundus of stomach & spleen
GR: the diaphragm extends higher on the right than on the left.
Due to the presence of the liver
The anterior border of left lung presents a notch at level of ….., extends opposite …..&….
4th costal cartilage
4th & 5th intercostal spaces
The tongue-shaped process of the left lung is the
Lingula
Posterior border of lungs is related to …. & occupies the …..
Heads of the ribs
Paravertebral gutter
The inferior border of lung extends in …. Recess
Costodiaphragmatic recess
The inferior border of lung is rounded …..
Medially
Compare the relations of costal & medial surfaces of the lung
Costal surface: related to costal pleural separating it from ribs, costal cartilage & intercostal spaces.
Medial surface: divided into posterior vertebral & anterior mediastinal parts.
-mediastinal: related to heart
-vertebral: sides of thoracic vertebrae, intervertebral discs, posterior intercostal vessels, splanchnic nerves & sympathetic chain.
Mention the lobes & fissures of right/left lungs
Right: Superior, middle & inferior lobes. Oblique & horizontal fissures.
Left: Superior & inferior lobes. Oblique fissure.
Fissures of the lung may be partially or completely obliterated by ….
Inflammatory adhesions
Mention structures related to right lung in front of the hilum.
- Pericardium enclosing right atrium & part of right ventricle.
- Inferior vena cava
- Superior vena cava & brachiocephalic vein
- Ascending aorta & thymus gland
- Right phrenic nerve
Mention the structures related to right lung above the hilum
Arch of azygos vein
Trachea, right vagus & esophagus
Structures related to left lung in front of the hilum
Pericardium covering the left ventricle, left auricle & infundibulum of right ventricle.
Structures related to the left lung behind the hilum
Descending aorta & esophagus
