EX2 Diaphragm, Kidney, and Posterior Abdominal Wall Flashcards
This principal muscle of respiration is dome shaped and separates thoraces and abdominal cavities
diaphragm
This nerve supplies right and left hemidiaphragms of the diaphragm
phrenic nerve
These nerves supplies lateral borders of the diaphragm and some sensory to the diaphragm
intercostal nerves
The cervical plexus (ansa cervicalis) sends what type of branches to where
motor branches to infrahyoid strap muscles
What does the phrenic nerve specifically supply
entire motor component
30% sensory fibers
Where does the phrenic nerve originate
C3-C5 spinal segments
Paralysis of the cervical spinal cord results in what regarding the diaphragm
paralysis of diaphragmatic respiration
hemidiaphragm cannot contract (descend); remaining high in the thorax
What type of landmarks are found in the diaphragm and at what vertebral level
vena cava foramen - T8
esophageal hiatus - T10
aortic hiatus - T12
This ligament arches over aorta
1 median arcuate ligament
These ligaments arch over psoas muscle
2 medial arcuate ligaments
These ligaments arch over quadrates lumborum muscles
2 lateral arcuate ligaments
These arteries supply superior surface of the diaphragm
pericardiocophrenic
superior phrenic
(via internal thoracic and thoracic aorta)
This artery supplies the periphery of the diaphragm
musculophrenic artery (via internal thoracic)
This artery supplies the inferior surface of the diaphragm
inferior phrenic artery
via abdominal aorta
The venous drainage of the diaphragm drains to which major vein
inferior vena cava (IVC)
The kidneys are located lateral to the vertebral column at what vertebral level
T12-L3
Which kidney is typically more superior
left side, due to liver being on the right
left superior pole ~ 11th rib
right superior pol ~ 12th rib
What encapsulates the kidneys
peri-renal fat and renal fascia
This nerve supplies the right and left hemidiaphragms of the kidneys
phrenic nerve
These nerves supplies the lateral borders and some sensory to the kidney
intercostal nerves

the pelvis
ectopic pelvic kidneys remain where
anterior to sacrum
horseshoe kidneys are where
below IMA
transplanted kidneys are where
placed lower in abdomen
What are the layers of the kidneys

renal cortex - outer 1/3
renal medulla - inner 2/3
The renal medulla contains what structures
