Anatomy Thorax Book Flashcards
Course of oblique fissure
Starts at 3rd spinous
Runs until 6th CC on anterior chest wall
Course of right horizontal fissure
From Rib 5 MAL from OF
To lower border of 4th rib
Where do the lung pleura meet and separate
Run to meet obliquely at 2nd CC
Left peels away at 4th CC
6th CC- right comes away from midline
Both return at 12th
Apex beat is found where
5th ICS
MCL
Four corners of heart
Top right- third CC just right of sterum
Top left- 2nd CC- 2cm left of sternum
Bottom left- 5th ICS MCL
Bottom right- 6CC just right
What structure cross diaphragm at T12
Aorta
Lesser splanchnic
Greater
Thoracic duct
Hemizygous and azygous
Relations of thoracic duct to azygous vein, aorta and oesophagus
Thoracic duct is midline
Lies in between aorta and azygous
Aorta - lateral
Azygous- medial
Oesophagus- anterior until T4-6
Location of heart valves
All retrosternal
Aortic- 3rd ICS mid sternum
Pulmonary- 3rd CC to left of sternum
Tricuspid- 4th ICSmid sternum
Mital- 4th CC 2cm to left
Proportion of population of heart nodes supplied by RCA and LCA
SA- 60% RCA, 40% LCA
AV- 90% RCA, rest by circumflex
Course of LCA
Arrises from left posterior sinus of aorta
Passes between left auricle and left side of pulmonary trunk
Decided into LAD and LC
LAD- runs in interventricular groove anastomosing with posterior descending branch of RCA
LC- follows coronary groove to posterior heart
What does the LAD supply
LAD- supplies both ventricles and anterior interventricular septum
What occurs at T4
End of aortic arch
Azygous joins SVC
Left laryngeal loops round ligaments venosum
Pulmonary trunk bifurcates (artery)
Involvement of long thoracic and first rib in inspiration
1st rib not involved
Long thoracic- aids lifting ribs in inspiration
Movements of diaphragm in phrenic nerve damage
Main root C5
In inspiration domes due to paralysis
In expiration flattens due to increased pressure
Where are the origins of coronary arteries
Superior to aortic valve
Right - anterior aortic sinus/right coronary, left - left post
