NOTHING
Where is the pulmonary/visceral pleura?
closely attached to the surface of the lungs, following their lobes
What is parietal pleura?
pleura that lines the body wall
What is the parietal pleura attached to?
attached to the thoracic wall and the endothoraic fascia
Where is the costal pleura?
covering the inner surface of the ribs
Where is the diaphragmatic pleura?
covering the cranial surface of the diaphragm
What is the mediastinal pleura?
covers the partition between the 2 cavities
What does the mediastinum contain?
the 2 mediastinum pleura and the space between them
What is the name of the pleura that covers the heart?
pericardial mediastinal pleura
What is the thoracic duct?
the main channel for return of lymph to the venous system (mainly from viscera and pelvic limb)
also a major transporter of fat (chylomicrons) absorbed from the GI tract into the venous system
Where does the thoracic duct begin?
begins in the sublumbar region between the cura of the diaphragm, as a cranial continuation of the cisterna chyli
Where does the thoracic duct empty?
into the left brachiocephalic vein near the left subclavian vein
What is the fluid of the thoracic duct called?
chyle
What would happen if the thoracic duct ruptures with trauma or disease?
chylothorax- chyle leaks into the pleural space
Blood flow in the heart
cranial and caudal vena cava deliver deoxygenated blood to the right atrium->
pushes deoxygenated blood through right AV valve into right ventricle->
pushes deoxy blood through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary trunk -> pulmonary artery (deoxygenated blood)-> lungs ->
Pulmonary vein brings oxy blood to the left atrium->
pushes oxy blood through the left AV valve(mitral, bicuspid) to the left ventricle->
pushes oxy blood through aortic valve into the aorta->
through the systemic circulation
Flow of blood in ductus arteriosus: normal and abnormal
normal: pulmonary trunk to aorta
abnormal: aorta to pulmonary trunk
Where are the aortic arch and ductus arteriosus normally?
the aortic arch develops from the left 4th arch
ductus arteriosus develops from the left 6th arch
Where are the arches during a PRAA?
aortic arch develops from the right 4th arch
ductus arteriosus develops from the left 6th arch
i.e. they cross over and constrict around the esophagus
Where is the great cardiac vein? Where does it empty into?
runs up the paraconal groove, around the coronary groove to empty into the caudal vena cava
What separates the atria from ventricle?
coronary groove
Where does the right coronary artery run? Where does it stop?
only runs circumflex around the heart in the coronary groove and stops at the subsinuosal groove
What separates the ventricles?
interventricular groove
What vessel is in the paraconal interventricular groove?
left coronary artery branch
What vessel is in the subsinuosal interventricular groove?
middle cardiac vein
Is there anything in the pericardial cavity?
pericardial fluid
What are the layers of the pericardium?
parietal serous pericardium (epicardium/visceral layer)
-parietal layer (adheres the fibrous layer)
-pericardial cavity: between parietal and visceral serous
fibrous pericardium
pericardial mediastinal pleura
What does the dorsal root of the spinal nerve transmit?
dorsal root has visceral AFFERENT neurons that transmit SENSORY info to the brain
What does the ventral root of the spinal nerve transmit?
Ventral root has visceral EFFERENT neurons that transmit MOTOR info to the brain
What is the pneumonic for dorsal and ventral roots?
DAVE/SAME
What type of nerve is the phrenic nerve?
somatic
What does the phrenic nerve innervate?
the diaphragm
Where does the phrenic nerve arise?
cervical spinal nerves 5-7
What type of nerve is the recurrent laryngeal nerve?
somatic
what does the left recurrent laryngeal nerve wrap around?
ligamentum arteriosum
what does the right recurrent laryngeal nerve wrap around?
right subclavian
where do the major and minor splanchnic nerves go?
cranial mesenteric ganglion
What type of nerves are the splanchnic nerves?
sympathetic preganglionic
where do the lumbar splanchnic nerves go?
caudal mesenteric ganglion
What type of nerve is the pelvic nerve?
preganglionic parasympathetic
what does the pelvic nerve innervate?
bladder, rectum, descending colon (potentially more)
what type of nerve is the pudendal nerve?
somatic efferent motor
Where is the origin of the sympathetic nervous system?
sympathetic comes from thoracolumbar region
fight or flight
Where does the parasympathetic nervous system originate?
brain and sacrum region
what is the line of pleural reflection?
diaphragmatic parietal pleura turns (reflects) to become costal parietal pleura
how many lobar bronchi does the left lung have?
2 lobar bronchi = 2 lobes
how many lobar bronchi does the right lung have?
3 lobar bronchi (cranial, middle, caudal, aa9give off accessory))
