Q

What is the diaphragmatic line of pleural reflection?

A

where the parietal pleura reflects from the internal surface of the thoracic wall onto the cranial surface of the diaphragm (where the costal pleura becomes continuous with the diaphragmatic pleura)

Q

What is a heave line?

A

Visible line which develops at muscle / aponeurotic junction of external abdominal oblique m. as a result of hypertrophy due to increased respiratory effort with recurrent airway obstruction (RAO)

Q

IC space for left cardiac notch

A

3rd-6th IC spaces

21
Q

IC space for right cardiac notch

A

3rd-4th IC spaces

22
Q

What is the cardiac notch?

A

Area where pericardial mediastinal pleura is in direct contact with costal pleura

23
Q

What lobes of the lung are separated by the cardiac notch in the horse?

A

cranial and caudal lobes on both sides

24
Q

Which lung has an accessory lobe?

A

right lung

25
Q

What are the pulmonary ligaments and where are they located?

A

They are located on the axial surface of the lung- they are a double layer of pleura that connects the lung to the mediastinal pleura

26
Q

What makes up the pleura of the thorax?

A

parietal pleura

visceral pleura AKA pulmonary pleura

connecting pleura (pulmonary ligaments, plica vena cava)

cuplulae pleurae (the cranial most apices of the pleural sacs)

27
Q

What layers make up the pericardium?

A

fibrous pericardium

parietal pericardium

visceral pericardium

28
Q

What pleurae of the thorax make up the parietal pleura?

A

costal pleura

diaphragmatic pleura

mediastinal pleura

29
Q

What is the mediastinum?

A

Midline partition between 2 pleural cavities

30
Q

Why is the equine mediastinum weak and often fenestrated?

A

Subpleural CT is poorly developed

31
Q

What structures are in the mediastinum?

A

esophagus
trachea
longus colli m.
lymphatic structures and nerves

32
Q

Where are the intercostal lnn?

A

In the dorsal part of some intercostal spaces

33
Q

What lymphatic structures are found in the thorax?

A
thymus
intercostal lnn
cranial, middle, and caudal mediastinal lnn
tracheobronchial lnn
thoracic duct
34
Q

What SNS structures are present in the thorax?

A

sympathetic trunk
cervicothoracic ganglion
ansa subclavia
middle cervical ganglion

35
Q

What PSNS structures are present in the thorax?

A

vagus nerve

36
Q

What makes up the vagosympthetic trunk?

A

vagus nerve + cervical sympathetic trunk

37
Q

What makes up the clinical pericardial sac?

A

pericardial mediastinal pleura

fibrous pericardium

parietal serous pericardium

38
Q

Explain the branching of the brachiocephalic trunk in the horse.

A

Left subclavian branches off first, then the right, resulting in a bicarotid trunk. The bicarotid trunk divides into the right and left carotid arteries.

39
Q

Explain the branching of the brachiocephalic trunk in the dog.

A

The left subclavian does NOT branch off the brachiocephalic trunk in the dog.

The left CAROTID branches first, then the right carotid, leaving the right subclavian artery last.

40
Q

Where does the paraconal interventricular br. arise from in the horse and the dog?

A

Paraconal interventricular branch arises from the left coronary a. in both the dog and the horse

41
Q

Where does the subsinuosal interventricular br. arise from in the horse and the dog?

A

Subsinuosal interventricular br. arises from right coronary artery in the horse.

It arises from the left coronary artery in the dog.

42
Q

What are the regions of the diaphragm?

A

costal, sternal, and lumbar

43
Q

What travels through the aortic hiatus?

A

aorta, thoracic duct, right azygos vein

44
Q

What travels through the esophasgeal hiatus?

A

esophagus, dorsal and ventral vagal trunks, esophageal vessels

45
Q

What is the name of the hole through the diaphragm in which the caudal vena cava travels?

A

Caval foramen
