Exam 2: Learning Objectives Flashcards
boundaries of thoracic cavity
anterior = sternum posterior = spine inferior = diaphragm superior = superior thoracic aperture
compartments of thoracic cavity
right pleural cavity - right lung
left pleural cavity - left lung
inferior mediastinum - heart
superior mediastinum
components of thoracic WALL
- skin
- subcutaneous tissue
- ribs
- intercostal muscles
functions of thoracic WALL
- protection
- muscle attachments
- respiration
three types of ribs and their unique feature
- true ribs: ribs 1-7, direct cartilage attachment to sternum
- false ribs: ribs 8-10, indirect cartilage attachment to sternum via coalescent cartilage
- floating ribs: ribs 11 and 12, no attachment to sternum
general structure of rib
head of rib - articulates with body of vertebra
NECK of rib
costal tubercle - articulates with transverse process of vertebra
costal angle - sharp change in rib direction
shaft of rib
three rib joints and their synovial classification
- costotransverse: costal tubercle of rib and transverse process of vertebra
- sternocostal: costal cartilage and sternum
- costovertebral: head of rib and body of vertebra
SYNOVIAL CLASSIFICATION FOR ALL 3: PLANE/GLIDE
first rib unique landmarks
- scalene tubercle - boundary between two grooves of first rib
- groove for subclavian artery (posterior to scalene tubercle)
- groove for subclavian vein (anterior to scalene tubercle)
sternal angle
fusion between manubrium and body of sternum, also at same lcoation where second rib attaches
medial/lateral dimension of diaphgram
inspiration: ribs elevate, mid-shaft moves lateral
expiration: ribs depress, mid-shaft moves medial
rib movement is comparable to bucket handle movement
anterior/posterior dimension of diaphragm movement
inspiration: ribs elevate, sternum moves up and forward
expiration: ribs depress, sternum moves down and back
rib and sternum movement comparable to pump handle movement
vertical dimension of diaphragm
contraction/inhalation = diaphragm flattens - inferior displacement (makes sense because thoracic cavity is getting bigger with more air and pushing diaphragm down)
relaxation/exhalation = diaphragm is dome shaped (thoracic cavity gets small and diaphragm comes back up in dome size)
name of nerves for T1-T6
intercostal nerves or upper intercostal nerves
name of nerves for T7-T11
thoracoabdominal nerves, lower intercostal nerves
name of nerve for T12
subcostal nerve
T4 landmark of innervation
includes nipples
T6 landmark of innervation
xiphoid process of sternum
T10 landmark of innervation
includes umbilicus
what are the four parietal nodes?
parasternal, intercostal, posterior mediastinal, diaphragmatic
what are four visceral nodes?
pulmonary, bronchopulmonary, tracheobronchial, paratracheal
people bring the party ;) !!
branching of bronchial tree
primary/main bronchii = right and left lung
secondary/lobar bronchii = towards lobes of each lung
tertiary/segmental bronchii = towards bronchopulmonary segments
medial surfaces of right lung
esophagus
heart impression
veins: superior vena cava, azygos vein
medial surfaces of left lung
esophagus
heart impression
arteries = thoracic aorta, aortic arch
lung root is comprised of
pulmonary veins, pulmonary artery, primary bronchii
structure of right lung root
[RA]
Right lung: pulmonary artery is ANTERIOR to primary bronchus
structure of left lung root
[LS]
Left lung: pulmonary artery is SUPERIOR to primary bronchus
pleural coverings of lung
parietal = covers wall of lung, goes down to cover superior border of diaphragm visceral = covers lung
4 regions of parietal pleura
cervical
costal
diaphragmatic
mediastinal
recesses of lungs
costodiaphragmatic and costomediastinal
layers of pericardium, from superficial to deep
FPV ME fibrous pericardium parietal pericardium* **visceral pericardium (aka epicardium)* **myocardium **endocardium
- makes up serous membranes
- *on/within the heart directly
surface features of heart
apex of heart (bottom tip) right atrium and auricle right ventricle left atrium and auricle left ventricle
sulci: coronary sulcus (coronary sinus vein lies here) anterior interventricular sulcus
featured vessels: SVC ascending and arch of aorta pulmonary trunk and arteries pulmonary veins
internal features of right atrium
crista terminalis (ridge between pectinate m. and interatrial septum pectinate muscles (interior walls) interatrial septum fossa ovalis!!!!! remnant shallow depression from foramen ovale
orifices:
valve orifice of coronary sinus
valve orifice of inferior vena cava
R AV orifice with AV valve - opening for right ventricle
internal features of right ventricle
trabeculae carneae R AV/tricuspid valve chordinea tendinae anterior papillary muscles posterior papillary muscles septal papillary muscles interventricular septum **septomarginal trabecula/moderator band **conus arteriosus **supraventricular crest **valve of pulmonary trunk
what is the septomarginal trabecula
aka moderator band
sx: band of cardiac muscle with a transversal orientation, connects septum to right marginal wall of heart
fxn: helps with R side conduction system by allowing rapid diffusion of electrical impulse from interventricular septum to right marginal wall = proper timing of RV contraction
