Q

CN: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

A

Obstruction of the coronary arteries may necessitate replacement of a segment of the coronary artery.

Great Saphenous V. is normally used, can use radial A. also

16
Q

CN: Coronary Angioplasty

A

Insertion of a small balloon catheter into the lumen of the coronary artery

Balloon is inflated to flatten the obstructing plaque against the wall and increase the size of the lumen, improving blood flow

17
Q

What are the branches of the Internal Thoracic A.

A

Anterior Intercostal A. giving off

  • Perforating branches (to the breast)
  • Medial Mammary branches (to the breast)

Pericardiacophrenic A. (pericardium and diaphragm)

Musculophrenic A. (terminal branch)

Superior Epigastric A. (terminal branch

18
Q

What does the axillary artery supply that is related to breast arterial supply?

A

axillary artery gives off lateral thoracic A. which gives off Lateral Mammary branches to the breast

19
Q

What are the three types of branches that can come off of the Descending Aorta?

A

Unpaired Visceral Branches

Paired Lateral Visceral Branches

Paired Segmental Parietal Brances

Bonus! Superior Phrenic A.

20
Q

What are the branches from the Unpaired Visceral Branches?

A

Mediastinal A.

Esophageal A.

Pericardial A.

(good luck seeing any of them)

21
Q

What are the branches of the Paired Lateral Visceral Branches?

A

Right Bronchial A.

Left Bronchial A.

(Tricky to find in Lab, but do it.)

22
Q

What are the branches of the the Paired Segmental Parietal Branches?

A

Posterior Intercostal A. giving off

  • Dorsal Branch
  • Collateral branch (along with intercostal N. collateral)
  • Lateral Cutanous A. (skin) and gives off Lateral Mammary branches to breast

Subcostal A.

23
Q

What are the branches of the Pulmonary Trunk?

A

Right Pulmonary A.

Left Pulmonary A.

24
Q

What are the branches of the Right Pulmonary A.

A

Superior Lobar A.

Middle Lobar A.

Inferior Lobar A.

One to each lobe of the r. lung.

25
Q

What are the branches of the Left Pulmonary A.

A

Superior Lobar A.

Inferior Lobar A.

(one to each lobe of the left lung)

26
Q

CN: Pulmonary Embolism

A

obstruction of a pulmonary A. by an embolus, such as a blood clot, fat globule or air bubble. The embolus usually passes from a vein through the right side of the heart into the pulmonary arteries.

27
Q

Where can you find the Right and Left Pulmonary Vs?

A

In the Hilum!

28
Q

What veins does the coronary sinus drain?

A

great, middle and small cardiac veins and then empties into right atrium,

29
Q

What does the Azygous V. drain?

A

the posterior intercostal v. form the RIGHT side of the posterior thoracic wall

30
Q

What vein does the hemiazygous v. drain?

A

posterior intercostal v. from the LEFT side of the LOWER posterior thoracic wall, communicating with the Azygous V.

31
Q

What does the Accessory Hemiazygous V. drain?

A

posterior intercostal v. from the LEFT side of the UPPER thoracic wall, communicating with the Azygous V.

32
Q

What does the Thoracic Duct Drain?

A

lymph form the LE, Pelvis, Abdomen, left side of thorax, left UE, left side of head and neck

Empties into venous system near left internal jugular V. and left subclavian V. or into the subclavian lymphatic trunk and bronchomediastinal trunk in the thorax

33
Q

What happens to the Thymus as we age?

A

The glandular tissue is replaced with fat after puberty, but it does continue to function

34
Q

What do the Axillary Lymph Nodes drain?

A

75% of the breast via the Subareolar Lymphatic Plexus

Empties into the subclavian lympatic trunk to the right lymph duct or thoracic duct

35
Q

What do the Parasternal Lymph Nodes drain?

A

Subareolar lymphatic plexus, parietal pleura and thymus

Empties into the bronchomediastinal Trunk then into the right lymph duct or thoracic duct

36
Q

What dor the tracheobonchial lymph nodes drain?

A

bronchopulmonary lymph nodes and the subepicardial lymphatic plexus

Empties into the bronchomediastinal trunk

37
Q

What do the bronchopulmonary LN drain?

A

superficial and deep lymphatic plexues of the lung

superficial-drains lung and visceral pleura

deep-drains deep lungs and bronchi

all other not listed in the cards pretty much do parietal pleura or diaphragm
