Exam 3 Thoracic Cavity Flashcards
review thoracic vertebrae and ribs in lab
x
dorsal longitudinal ligament extends from
axis to sacrum
dorsal longitudinal ligament is narrow over
vertebral bodies
dorsal longitudinal ligament widens over
intervertebral discs
ventral longitudinal ligament extends from
mid-thoracic region to sacrum
ventral longitudinal ligament strongest in
lumbar region
each typical rib
two joints with vertebral column (head and tubercle)
intervertebral discs are thinnest in
mid-thorax region
intervertebral discs center
softer center (nucleus pulposus); CCT, elastic fibers, fibroblasts and other, celar cells of various sizes
intervertebral discs periphery
peripheral fibrous ring (anulus fibrosus); CCT and fibrocartilage
thoracic skeleton shape
cone-shaped cranially (thoracic inlet)
compressed ______,
laterally, cranially
thoracic cavity contains
thoracic organs;
thoracic cavity inlet
small, narrow
2 pleural cavities contain ______
contain scant amount of serous fluid;
pleural cavities are separated by
mediastinum
mediastinum is ____ in horse
weak; has delicate subpleural CCT
mediastinum thicker in the _____
ruminant
pleura is distinguished as what different parts
parietal,mediastinal, and visceral (pulmonary) pleurae
cupula pleura
crainal extent of pleura cavity (apex)
on the ______ side extends cranial to first rib (2-3) centimeters deep to scalenus m.
right side
on the left side, cupula pleura does not extend cranial to
first rib
what are the three major groups of epaxial muscles
transversospinalis system
longissimus thorasis
iliocostalis thoracis m.
know important relationships of thoracic organs (position of lungs, cranial exent of diaphragm, line of pleural reflection, position of heart)
x
caudal angle of the scapula landmark for
7th rib in horse and 6th rib in ox
olecranon lanmarks
5th rib or 5th IC space in horse
5th IC space ventrally
Horse line of pleural reflection
start at 8th and 9th costal cartilages
cross costochondral junction at 9th rib
extend line dosrocaudally in a gentle curve to the middle of the cranial border of the last rib
end at vertebral end of the 17th intercostal space
basal border of the lung in the horse
starts oat costochondral junction of the 6th rib
middle of the 11th rib
dorsal region of the 16th rib
separated from the line of pleural reflection by approximately 5cm dorsally and ventrally and as much as 15 cm in the middle
horse boundaries of auscultation of the lungs
caudal angle of the scapula
olecranon (point of the elbow)
dorsal end of the 16th rib
ox line of pleural reflection
start at the 8th costochondral junction
extend line to the 11th rib
then to the 12th rib dorsally
ox basal border of the lung
start at costochondral junction of 6th rib
end at the 11th rib dorsally
almost a straight line
ox auscultation of the lungs boundaries
cranial to triceps brachii m.
dorsal to muscles of the back
hypotenus- line from the olecranon to the 11th rib dorsally
in sheep, wool can interfere with auscultation, so at a minimum auscultate in
nonwooled area immediately behind the elbow
both lungs are divided into cranial and caudal lobes by
cardiac notch
right lung also has a _____ lobe
accessory
in horse, left lung cardiac notch at ______ ICS
3rd to 6th
in horse, right lung cardiac notch ______ ICS
3rd rib to 4th intercostal space
