exam 2: cardiorespiratory 1 Flashcards
Thoracic cavity boundaries (5)
Thoracic cavity Dorsal (ceiling)
What are 1 and 2
- Thoracic vertebrae
- Longus colli m.
Thoracic cavity:
what is being pointed to by the red arrow
Transverse thoracis m.
Thoracic cavity- ventral (floor)
what is the unlabeled red arrow pointing to
Internal thoracic vessels
what is the term for?
Serous membrane that produce a serous fluid that protect, prevent friction and adherences among organs (viscera) or organs with cavity walls
serosa
is this external or internal intercostal muscle
does it aid more in expiration or inspiration?
external; inspiration
is this external or internal intercostal muscle
does it aid more in expiration or inspiration?
internal; expiration
what forms the caudal boundary of the thorax
diaphragm
Term for apature (opening) between muscles
hiatus
what is the most important muscle for inspiration
diaphragm
T/F inspiration is an active process
true
T/F expiration is an active process
false; normally passive because no muscle contraction is needed
T/F expiration can be an active process
true; when needed like exercise/cough/sneeze
Abdominal muscles can pull the ribs in what direction to help with expiration
caudal; compressing the thorax helping with force expiration
Serratus dorsalis cranialis m.
Scalenus m.
External intercostal m.
Rectus thoracis m.
can be classified as what kind of muscles to the diaphragm?
synergic (helper muscles)
Parietal means related to a ______
wall
Serosa: Serous membrane that produce a serous fluid that ________, prevent ________ and adherences among organs (viscera) or organs with cavity walls
protect
friction
what kind of section is this of the thoracic cavity
horizontal/dorsal section
All serosas have what 2 tunic/ layers
- Parietal serous tunic/layer
- Visceral serous tunic/layer
center area of the thorax; filled with synovial
mediastinum
Connective tissue that glue the parietal pleura with the ribs and intercostal muscles
Endothoracic fascia
Pleural cavity space that is not occupied by the caudal lobe of the lung, even in a maximal inspiration
Costodiaphragmatic resess
why is the Costodiaphragmatic resess important
If we have a collapsed lung, this is where we can put a tube
Pleural cavity has (positive or negative) pressure
negative
average pleural pressure in dogs is around ________________
−5 cm H2O at rest
why is pressure negative in the Pleural cavity
Is the result of the opposing elastic recoil of the chest wall and lung, as well as the forces generated by the respiratory muscles
what is happening in Pneumothorax with regards to pressure
positive pressure inside the pleural cavity so the lungs can NOT stay insufflated by itself
collapsing and preventing the ventilation of the organ
A rupture of the thoracic wall
that communicate the exterior with the pleural cavity may create suction of air toward the pleural cavity.
Pneumothorax
T/F Pneumothorax also can happen by a rupture of the lung
true
visceral serous or pleura covers what
organs
Visceral pericardium or Epicardium is a serous membrane adhering to the ________
heart
