T12

23
Q

what supplies blood to thoracic wall (3)

A

descending aorta, subclavian artery, some vessels from axillary artery

24
Q

what does the internal thoracic artery come off

A

subclavian artery

25
Q

what does the internal thoracic artery supply

A

anterior intercostal arteries which anastomose with posterior IC arteries

26
Q

what do the posterior IC arteries come off

A

descending aorta
BUT
first 2 come off costocervical trunk

27
Q

the anterior intercostal vein drains into ? into ?

A

internal thoracic vein brachiocephalic vein

28
Q

posterior uses what venous drainage

A

azygos + hemiazygos

29
Q

R posterior IC vein drains into ? into ?

A

azygos vein, SVC

30
Q

L posterior IC vein drains into ? into ?

A

hemizygos vein (9-11 IC space) or accessory hemiazygos |(5-8IC space)

31
Q

where does hemizygos vein cross to azygos vein to SVC

A

T7/T8

32
Q

trachea bifurcation is called

A

carina (sternal angle/ transthoraic plane)

33
Q

how long is trachea

A

13cm

34
Q

trachea contains U shaped ?

A

hyaline cartilage

35
Q

where does trachea start and end

A
below larynx (C6)
T4
36
Q

how long is oesophagus

A

25cm

37
Q

oesophagus starts where and goes where

A

c6 as continuation of pharynx

goes into thorax

38
Q

the cisterna chyli is the start of what

A

thoracic duct

39
Q

where does the thoracic duct go•

A

• Ascends through diaphragm through opening for aorta

Crosses midline at T4/T5 and runs left of oesophagus up the root of the neck

40
Q

where does L coronary artery go

A

across the coronary groove

41
Q

LCA is divided into 2 branches

A

circumflex

left anterior descending

42
Q

circumflex of LCA goes where and has a branch called

A

follows the groove to the posterior part of the heart. Supplies the left atrium/ventricle.

Left marginal: moves down left aspect of the heart- Left ventricle and apex of the heart.

43
Q

LAD

A

travels down the interventricular groove to the apex of the heart, where it turns around and anastomoses with the posterior interventricular artery. supplies anterior 2/3 of septum and anterior R and L ventricle

44
Q

where does coronary sinus run

A

from L to R in posterior part of coronary groove

45
Q

what are the branches of the coronary sinus

A

Great cardiac vein: goes into coronary sinus from the left: travels from the anterior interventricular groove (front side of heart)

Left posterior interventricular vein: back of the heart, in the posterior interventricular groove.

Left marginal vein: lies on the left side of the posterior surface

Middle Cardiac Vein: right side of posterior surface. Anastomoses with great cardiac vein

The small cardiac: veins runs along the right marginal artery.

46
Q

what does coronary sinus drain into

A

RA

47
Q

valve auscultation pneumonic

A
All= aortic
