Blackcloud Body Wall and Thorax p.1-18 Flashcards
most superficial thoracic wall muscle
external intercostal m.
deeper thoracic wall muscles, fiber perpedicular to external intercostal
internal thoracic muscles
internal to intercostal, attached t osternum and inner surface of ribs
tranversus thoracis
intercostal vessels from superior to inferior
intercostal vein, artery, nerve
anterior intercostal arteries are ____ than posterior intercostal arteries
much smaller
posterior intercostal arteries arise from
descending aorta (most superior, from branches of the subclavian)
posterior intercostal arteries anastomose with
anterior intercostals, duh
intercostal nerves are (come from)
ventral rami of spinal nerves 1 t o11
First 6 instercostal nerves run
within an intercostal space
intercostal ribs 7-11
being intercostally, run along anterior abdominal body wall
branches of internal thoracic artery
musculophrenic and superior epigastric arteries
fluid, blood or pus can safely be removed from
costodiaphragmatic recess
where to insert needle to reach costodiaphragmatic space
near middle of 9th intercostal space
blood supply and innervation of visceral layer is same as
the organ
blood supply and innervation of parietal layer is same as
adjacent body wall
parietal pericardium is innervated by
phrenic nerve
parietal pericardium receives blood from which two branches of the internal thoracic artery, and what else?
pericardiophrenic artery, musculophrenic artery, descending thoracic aorta
parietal pleura is innervated by
phrenic nerve & intercostal nerves
parietal pleura receives blood from
intercostal arteries
parietal pericardium cannot be separated from
the diaphragm
visceral pericardium cannot be separated from
the heart
the place between the two pleural cavities is called
the mediastinum
mediastinum superior border
superior thoracic aperture, an imaginary line from T1 to superior borer of manubrium
mediastinum inferior border
diaphragm
mediastinum posterior border
vertebral column
mediastinum anterior border
sternum
superior mediastinum
thoracic inlet to T4-5
anterior mediastinum
sternum to pericardium
middle mediastinum
space occupied by heart
posterior mediastinum
back of pericardium to T4-12
brachiocephalic veins drain
upper limbs, head and neck
upper half of superior vena cava drains
from upper half of body to right atrium
arch of the azygous vein drains
from posterior walls of thorax and abdomen into superior vena cava
ventral rami of C3,4,5
phrenic nerve
phrenic nerve innervates
diaphragm, parietal pericardium, mediastinal parietal pleura
phrenic nerve and pericardiophrenic vessels pass ____ the root of the lung
in front of
vagus nerve passes ____ the root of the lung
behind
passes posterior to the ligamentum arteriosum to reach the trachea
left recurrent laryngeal nerve
the vagus nerve provides
parasympathetic innervation to thoracic viscera
the vagus nerve breaks up into _____ before branching into _______
esophageal plexus, left vagus nerve (becomes anterior vagal trunk) and right vagus nerve (becomes posterior vagal trunk)
the fibrous pericardium, what is it good for?
continuous with central tendon of diaphragm, protects the heart from sudden overfilling and anchors it to the wall
the two layers of the serous pericardium are called what?
parietal layer, visceral layer
what runs posterior to the pulmonary trunk and aorta, anterior to superior vena cava?
transverse pericardial sinus
