anatomy of resp system Flashcards
The thoracic inlet is bounded by x4
The first thoracic vertebra (T1) posteriorly.
The first pair of ribs laterally.
The costal cartilage of the first rib
the superior border of the manubrium anteriorly.
The thoracic outlet is bounded by
12th thoracic vertebra posteriorly.
11th and 12th pairs of ribs laterally.
Costal cartilages of ribs 7 through 10 and xiphisternal joint anteriorly
where does manubrium sit in relation to vertebrae
T2-T3
where does the sternal angle sit in relation to the vertebrae
T4-T5
first rib articular facet
only 1 point
ribs articulate with vertebrae
of same number and the one above
(ABOVE WILL BE SMALLER NUMBER)
rib 5 attaches to T5 and T4
with head of rib to the body of vertebra
name of joint between rib and vertebra
costovertebral
what type of joint is th costovertebral
synovial plane
the tubercle of rib articulates with
transeverse process of vertebra of same number
name of tubercle to transverse process joint
costotransverse
what type of joint is costotransvers
synovial plane
first sternocostal joint type
(between first rib and vertebrae)
primary cartilaginous
what vertebral level is the xyphoid process
9th
what level is sternomanubrial joint
5th
main sternalcostal joint type
synovial plane
true ribs
1 - 7
false ribs
8-10
floating ribs
11 + 12
how to get intercostal space number
same number as rib above
where is neurovascuar bundle found
costal groove
chest wall dermatomes correspond with
intercostal space at and below dermatome
7 major lymph nodes
- root of the upper limb (axillary)
- root of the lower limb (superficial and deep inguinal)
- around the pectoralis major muscle/breast (pectoral)
- bifurcation of trachea in thorax (tracheobronchial)
- the hilum of the lungs (bronchomediastinal)
- around root of arteries in the abdomen and pelvis (lumbar/pelvic)
- and as superficial and deep groups in head and neck (superficial cervical and deep
cervical)
where can lymph nodes often be found
large veins
where does most breast lymph drain
anterior (pectoral) group of axillary lymph nodes (the sentinel node/s)
what vertebrae does the left crura attatch
L1-L2
what vertebrae does the right crura attatch
l1- l3
which costal cartilages does the diaphragm attach
lower 6
what part of the sternum does the diaphragm attach to
xyphoid process
where does hiatus for inferior vena cava occur
T8-9
where does hiatus for oesophogus vena cava occur
T10
where does hiatus for aorta occur
T12
main nerve supplying diaphragm motor and sensory
phrenic
sensory nerve supplying peripheral diaphragm
intercostal nerves
spinal root values of phrenic nerve
C3 C4 C5
“keep the diaphragm alive”
damage to phrenic nerve
will cause paralysis of of dome of diaphragm
but can be compensated by intercostal muscles
upper respiratory tract includes
nose
pharynx
larynx
whats the larynx
a set of cartilages, membranes and ligaments which produce sound from expired air
(“voice-box”) and protects the inlet to the respiratory system.
larynx placement
continuous inferiorly with the trachea at C6.
anteriorly related to the pharynx (= “throat”).
