D1 anatomy test2 Flashcards
between what vertebrae separates the superior from inferior mediastinum?
T4-T5, inferior part has the heart
describe the development of lungs in relation to mediastinum
lungs grow out from mediastinum becoming surrounded by the pleura
pleural cavities are surrounded by what cells?
mesothelial cells
what is in the root of the lung?
pulmonary vessels, lymphatic tissue, nerves
parietal pleura vs visceral pleura
parietal is the outer layer. Visceral is directly on the lungs
what is a recess?
space of thoracic cavity the pleura doesn’t cover.
name the largest recess
costodiaphragmatic recess
how high does the pleura cavity extend in the neck?
2-3 cm above rib 1
what is a axillary inlet
gateway from thorax to superior limbs
what makes it?
superior margin of scapula, clavicle, lateral margin of rib 1. Brachial plexus passes through this.
what separates the abdomen from thorax?
diaphram
2 pathways structures enter the abdomen
pass through, pass posteriorly
pathway of inferior vena cavae
through central tendon near T8
esophagus pathway
through the muscular part near the mediastinum near T10
Aortic pathway
posteriorly to diaphragm midline at T12
breasts have 3 things
glands, superficial fascia, skin
lymphatic drainage of medial parts of breast
parasternal nodes
lymphatic drainage of lateral parts of breast
axillary region of upper limb
what nerves innervate breasts?
intercostal nerves 4-6
Explain why vertebral level 4-5 is important clinically
rib counting to find rib 2 (The clavicle covers rib 2), Also separates superior/inferior mediastinums, marks superior limit of pericardium, marks the aortic arch, Bifurcation of trachea
give some reasons why the venous system shunts left to right
Right atrium is on right side of body, superior & inferior vena cavae are on right side
what delivers the left side of the body (head, neck, upper limb, part of thorax) to superior vena cava?
left brachiocephalic vein
what drains everything else?
hemiazygos, accessory hemiazygos veins
why is the anterior part of the rib more inferior that the posterior part?
to allow expansion of the rib cage during respiration. The anterior thoracic wall moves
why is the middle part of the rib lower than both ends?
to allow it to elevate during inhalation
what causes the rib cage to change volume vertically?
the diaphragm pushing up
Pectoralis major m.
Largest and most superficial of pectoral region
Origination of pectoralis major m.
anterior surface of medial 1/2 of clavicle, sternum, costal cartilage
insertion of pectoralis minor
lateral lip of intertubercular groove
action of pectoralis major m
adducts, flexion, medially rotates humerus
origin of pectoralis minor m.
anterior surface of rib 3-5
insertion of pectoralis minor
coracoid process of scapula
action of pectoralis minor m.
pulls shoulder inferiorly
what is the clavipectoral fascia?
covers pectoralis minor and attaches to clavicle
what makes the Superior thoracic aperature
body of vertebra T1, medial margin of rib 1, manubrium
what makes the inferior thoracic aperature
body of T12, rib 12 & distal end of 11, distal cartilaginous ends of ribs 7-10, xiphoid process
Thoracic vert. with ribs
3 articulations,
what are demifacets?
where the ribs articulate with the vertebra ( superior & inferior demifacets)
what ribs only have one demifacet?
T1 and T10
which ribs don’t articulate with the transverse processes?
11,12 because the are floating ribs
name the true ribs and why theyre true
1-7, they articulate directly with the sternum
name the false ribs
8-12
what is the scalene tubercle and what rib is it found
rib 1, superior surface has 2 grooves. Anterior groove is for subclavian vein, posterior is for subclavian artery
what kind of joint is the costotransverse joint?
synovial, stabilized by 2 extracapsular ligaments. costotransverse lig. and lateral costotransverse lig.
costotransverse ligament
medial to joint, attaches neck of rib to transverse process
lateral costotransverse ligament
lateral to joint, attaches tip of transverse process to tubercle of rib
what kind of movement happens at these joints
gliding and sliding
joint of the head of the rib
synovial with 2 compartments and an intra-articular ligament that attaches crest to adjacent intervertebral disc. All this is surrounded by a joint capsule
sternocostal joints
between upper 7 costal cartilages and sternum. joint of rib 1 is fibrocartilagenous and the rest are synovial with sternocostal ligaments
interchondral joints
between ribs7-10
vessels organization in intercostal grooves
vein is most superior, then artery, then the nerve. ( the nerve is often not protected because its so low)
what is the endothoracic fascia?
deep to costal groove and full of fat.
name the 3 intercostal muscles and their organization
external ( superficial), internal ( between), innermost ( deep)
external intercostal muscles
11 pairs, most active in inspiration
external intercostal membrane
the external intercostal muscles turn into this as they reach the costal cartilage
internal intercostal muscles
11 pairs, inferior lateral edge of costal grooves to superior margins. Mostly active during expiration
internal intercostal membrane
end of muscle near the vertebral column
innermost intercostal muscles
same orientation as the internal
