Anatomy(Thorax) Flashcards
Eisenmenger syndrome
Cyanosis from pulmonary hypertension with right to left shunt
Parts fused to form abdominal diaphragm
- septum transversum
- the mesentery of the foregut
- ingrowth from the body wal
- the pleuroperitoneal membrane (a small dorsal part).
These close the primitive communications between
pleura and peritoneal cavities.
Posterolateral hernia through the foramen of Bochdalek
(the pleuroperitoneal membrane)—more common on
the left
• A hernia through the foramen of Morgagn
anteriorly
between xiphoid and costal origins.
Why is the 10th rib an atypical rib?
Only one articular facet on head
Mnemonic of hilum of the lung
(AP<V{AB)V>SI}
V-VEIN
A-ARTERY
B-BRONCHUS
AP-ANTERIOR POSTERIOR
SI-SUPERIOR INFERIOR
Level of apex of lung above clavicle
Along a curved line 2.5 cm above inner third of clavicle
Meeting point of pleural reflexions anteriorly
Angle of Louis at midline coming down from sternoclavicular joint
Division point of pulmonary artery into right and left main branches
Anterior to left main bronchus
Which nerve is in contact with the ligamentum arteriosum?
Left recurrent laryngeal nerve
Origin of bronchial arteries
Descending aorta
Where does the visceral pleura continue with the parietal layer?
over the
root of the lung.
Where do collateral vessels develop in case of Coarctation of the Aorta?
between vessels above and
below the block
The superior intercostal artery, derived from?
Subclavian artery
Where intercoastal spaces are not covered by pleura?
Medial end of the fourth and fifth left intercostal spaces
Where does the pleura descends below the twelfth rib?
at its medial extremity (in mediastinum)
{So caution not to open during adrenal of kindness surgery}
Lower border of pleural vs lung vs ribs
Pleura Lung
8th mid clavicular 6th
10th mid axillary 8th
12th lateral of erector spinae. 10th
Nerve supply of visceral pleura and it’s sensitive
Vagus nerve, only sensitive to stretching not for pain
Which pleura is sensitive to pain
Parietal(referred to abdomen), mediastinal(referred to tip of shoulder), diaphragmatic pleura(tip of shoulder C4)
Position of psoas and lumborum
Psoas medial(arcuate ligament)
Lumborum lateral(arcuate ligament)
Which ribs give origin to abdominal diaphragm?
Lower 6 ribs (inner aspect)
Muscle originated from xiphoid process
Diaphragm
Transversus thoracis
Structures passing through aortic opening of diaphragm
Descending aorta(thoracic>abdominal)
Azygos vein
Thoracic duct
Structures passing through oesophageal opening (lying in right crus)
Oesophagus,
vagus,
Branches of left gastric artery and vein.
