B4-101 Into to RC Anatomy Flashcards
ribs 1-7 attach to the
sternum
ribs 8-10 attach to the
costal cartilages
ribs 11 and 12 attach to
nothing; floating ribs
how many costal cartilages are there?
12
parts of the sternum [3]
manubrium
body
xiphoid process
projects back in to the IV disc between T4 and T5
sternal angle (of louis)
sternal angle
vertical line through the middle of the clavicle anteriorly
midclavicular
vertical line through the lateral side from the axilla
midaxillary
vertical line through the inferior angle of the scapula posteriorly
infra-scapular
weakest part of a rib is anterior to
the angle
posteriorly articulates with its corresponding numbered vertebrae and the one above it
head of typical rib
contains the intercostal vein and artery
costal groove
contribute to thoracic outlet syndrome
cervical rib
loss of radial pulse/hand ischemia
pectus carinatum
pigeon breast
bilateral cervical ribs in patient with thoracic outlet syndrome
pectus excavatum
funnel chest
.
top: pectus carnitum
bottom: pectus excavatum
the heart should not go past the
midclavicular line
lies at marked angulation between the long axis of the body
heart
typical position of heart within mediastinum
one -third to the right of midline
two-thirds to the left of midline
the apex of the heart is located where?
5th intercostal space
base of the heart is the
left atrium
part of the heart located most posteriorly
left atrium
where is the right ventricle located?
anterior, sternocostal
the diaphragmatic surface of the heart includes
left ventricle and part of right ventricle
the right pulmonary surface of the heart includes
right atrium
left pulmonary surface of the heart includes
left ventricle
right borders on cardiac silhouette
SVC and right atrium
left borders on cardiace silhouette
aortic arch, pulmonary artery, left auricle, and left ventricle
inferior borders on cardiac silhouette
right ventricle and small portion of left ventricle
ratio of the diameter of heart to the diameter of a thoracic cavity
CTR
if CTR> 0.5,
heart is abnormally large
what X ray view should be used to assess for cardiomegaly?
PA
central compartment of thorax located between pleural cavities
mediastinum
contains all viscera except lungs
mediastinum
divisions of the mediastinum are created by the
sternal angle (of Louis)
the inferior middle section of the mediastinum contains
pericardium, heart, roots of great vessels
fibrous membrane that covers the heart and great vessels
pericardium
the fibrous layer of the pericardium is attached to
central tendon of the diaphragm
parietal pericarium is attached to which layer?
fibrous
visceral pericardium is attached to
heart
between parietal and visceral serous pericardium
pericardial cavity
nerve supply to pericardium
phrenic nerve
irritation of the pericardium can cause
referred pain to shoulder
symptoms of pericardial effusion on EKG
sinus tachycardia
low QRS voltage
electrical aternans
a large pericardial effusion on CXR would show
enlarged cardiac silhouette with clear lung fields
pericardial effusion
collection of blood, fluid, or air in pericardial sac
cardiac tamponade
