Cardioivascular 1 Flashcards
Main goal of the external and internal intercostal muscles
- Fill the gab between the ribs and vertebrae
-inspiration and expiration
Purpose of hiatus (ex: aortic hiatus)
Organs go through here (think middle portion)
Most important muscle for inspiration
Diaphragm
Muscles that are used for inspiration
Serrated dorsalis cranialis muscle
Diaphragm muscle
External intercostal muscle
Recuts thoracic muscle
Scalenus muscle
Muscles used for expiration
Serrated dorsalis caudalis muscle
Abdominal muscles
Internal intercostal muscle
What is a serosa?
Serous membrane that produce a serous fluid that protects and prevent friction and adherences among organs (viscera) or organs with cavity wall
What is the visceral pleura? What is the name of the one correlated to the lungs?
-Visceral pleura covers the direct organ
-Deep to the pleural cavity with pleural fluid
- lungs covered directly by pulmonary pleura (visceral pleura)
What is the mediastinum?
-Area between the lungs
- central area of the thorax
- heart is held in the mediastinum
What are the three mediastinal pleura and where are they in relationship the the heart and lungs?
-Parietal mediastinal pleura cranial portion (covered cranial portion of mediastinum)
-Parietal mediastinal pleural middle portion (pericardial pleura) (covers the middle portion of the mediastinum)
-parietal mediastinal pleura caudal portion (covers the caudal mediastinum)
Where is the outermost pleura membrane superficial to the pleural cavity?
Costal pleura (lateral pleural membrane)
Diaphragmatic pleura (caudal pleural membrane)
Visceral pleura vs parietal pleura
Visceral pleura = inside pleura membrane
Parietal pleura = outside pleura membrane (mediastinal costal and diaphragmatic)
What is the endothoracic fascia?
Connective tissues that glues the parietal pleura with the ribs and intercostal muscles
What is the point of the pleural fluid?
Allows movement without friction
What is the point of the vacuum presssure?
Keep lung inflated
Pneumothorax
The puncture of a lung causing the loss of the negative vacuum pressure leading to a collapsed lung
What is the fibrous pericardium?
Sac that keeps shape and anchored sac to diaphragm
List the serious pericardium membranes from deep to superficial? (Very pretty people fit perfectly)
Deep
-visceral pericardium (epicardium)
- pericardial cavity
- parietal serous pericardium
- fibrous pericardium
- pericardial mediastinal pleura
Superficial
Anatomical (PARIETALs adVISe to not get CAVITYs vs clinical pericardium (med fibers are serous)
-Anatomical pericardium = (closed sac envelopes most of the heart more deep layers)
-parietal serious pericardium, visceral pericardium (epicardium), and pericardial cavity
- Clinical pericardium = (pericardial sac layers are fused together more superficial layers)
-pericardial mediastinal pleura, fibrous pericardium and parietal serous pericardium
What is the Phrenicopericardial ligament?
Ligament that connects fibrous pericardium to sterna, part of the diaphragm (only in carnivores) acts as anchor limits movement
