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.
Structures passing through vagal opening
IVC
Right phrenic nerve
Which nerves pierce crura of diaphragm
Splanchnic nerves
(Both greater and lesser)
Structures passing behind the medial arcuate ligament (lying on psoas major)
Sympathetic chains
mechanism of paradoxical movement of diaphragm in phrenic nerve injury
Sure to raised intra abdominal pressure during inspiration and vice versa
Surfaces and borders of heart
Surfaces
Anterior -right atrium, right ventricle, strip of left ventricle
Posterior -left atrium, left ventricle
Inferior -right atrium with IVC entering, lower part of ventricles
Borders
Right. -SVC, right atrium, IVC
Left -auricle, left atrium, left ventricle
Inferior -right ventricle, apex of left ventricle
Extension and function of moderator band of heart
Extending from interventricular septum to anterior wall of ventricle
Function is to prevent overdistension,
To conduct right branch of AV bundle to anterior wall of ventricle
Cusps of-
Mitral valve
Tricuspid valve
Pulmonary valve
Aortic valve
Mitral -anterior, posterior
Tricuspid - anterior, posterior, septal
Pulmonary - anterior,right, left
Aortic - anterior,right posterior, left posterior.
Origin points of right and left coronary arteries
Right -anterior aortic sinus
Left -left posterior aortic sinus
What does Crista Terminals of heart devide?
Atrial part firm sinus venosus and atrial part from true ariam
Which muscle contact first in heart
Papillary muscle
Veins of heart
Venae cordis minimae >right atrium
Anterior cardiac>right atrium
Great cardiac>coronary sinus
Middle cardiac>coronary sinus
Small cardiac>coronary sinus
Coronary sinus>right atrium left to the mouth of IVC
Nerve supply of heart
Sympathetic (cardio accelerator)
Vagus (cardio inhibitor)
Why anginal pain is experienced in chest and inner aspect of left arm
Due to excitation of spinothalamic tract via dermatomes T1-T4
Why anginal pain is experienced in neck and jaw
Vagus>nucleus tractus solitarius of medulla>upper cervical spinothalamic tract
Fusion of apex and base of pericardium
Apex with tunica adventitia of great vessels
Base with central tendon of diaphragm
Which coastal cartilages are related to pericardium
3rd to 6th
Which vertebrae are related to pericardium
T5-8
Why do Oblique and Transverse Sinuses form
At the pericardial reflections, veins are surrounded by one
sleeve of pericardium and arteries by another.
