Q

Branches of the Bronchial Tree

A

Trachea: C shaped cartilage

Q

Myocardial Infarction Referred Pain

A

Dying cardiac cells stimulate visceral afferents that enter T1-T4.
Somatic sensory fibers also enter the cord via posterior roots at this level.
The brain is unable to distinguish these signals, so it is perceived as left chest/arm pain.

Q

Branches off of:
Ascending Aorta
Aortic Arch
Descending Aorta

A

Asc: coronary arteries
Arch: (ligamentum arteriosum), brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid, left subclavian.
Desc: bronchial, esophageal arteries, pericardial arteries, phrenic arteries, intercostal arteries. Terminal splits into two common iliac arteries.

26
Q

EAS: voluntary
Below the dentate line, it is body wall and not GI, and it is highly sensitive.

36
Q

Biliary Tree

A

Right and left hepatic ducts combine to form common hepatic duct.
The cystic duct joins the CHD to form the common bile duct.
The main pancreatic duct joins the CBD at the heapticopancreatic ampulla. This enters in through the major duodenal papilla.

40
Q

3 Regions of Male Urethra

A

Prostatic- right after bladder.
Membranous- small, right after prostate.
Penile/spongy- longest.

41
Q

Urination Process

A

Stretch receptors in the bladder activate PS motor neurons (S2-

The detrusor muscle contracts and brain gets urge to urinate.
The internal urethral sphincter involuntarily relaxes and the external voluntarily relaxes.

42

A

Makes up majority of pelvic diaphragm/floor.
Innervated by S2-S4 ventral rami, including pudendal nerve.
It supports pelvic contents and provides continence.

44
Q

Ectopic pregnancy

A

When there is damage to the fallopian tube that prevents the embryo from implanting in the uterine cavity, and the embryo implants outside of the uterus. It can implant into the ampulla, which can cause it to rupture.

45
Q

A

veinous plexus for the testicles; surrounds the spermatic cord.

46
Q

Cremaster muscle

A

extension of internal abdominal oblique; raises and lowers the scrotum for optimal temperature.

47
Q

Enters prostate through ejaculatory ducts where more parts of seminal fluid are added.
Out through urethra.
