Exam II (Lecture 3) Flashcards
Where is the location of the trachealis muscle in the large domestic animal?
It is located internally to the cartilage of the trachea
List the muscles of inspiration:
Diaphragm
Ext. Intercostals
Levator costae
Scalenus
Serratus Ventralis Thoracis
Rectus Thoracis
Serratus Dorsalis cranialis
What is the main muscle of inspiration?
Diaphragm
List the muscles of expiration: (Remember expiration is predominately passive)
Internal intercostals
Retractor costae
Transversus Thoracis
Interchondralis costae
Serratus dorsalis caudalis
Iliocostalis Lumborum
What is the main muscle of expiration?
Internal intercostals
Review: In what direction do the muscle fibers of muscles associated with inspiration run?
caudoventral direction
Review: In what direction do the muscle fibers of expiratory muscles run?
Cranioventral direction
What is the diagnosis for this horse?
Identify the muscle that is extremely defined (undergoing hypertrophy) and highlighted with the black arrow.
Horse with heaves (exhibit forced expiration)
The line is the external abdominal oblique muscle
Identify the numbered structures:
- ) Heart
- ) Visceral pericardium (epicardium)
- ) Pericardial cavity
- ) Parietal pericardium
- ) Fibrous layer of the pericardium
- ) Mediastinal (pericardial) pleura
Which species (carnivore or large animal) has the sternopericardial ligament and the phrenicopericardial ligament.
Sternopericardial ligament: Large animal
Phrenicopericardial ligament: Carnivore
You would expect the fibrous layer of the pericardium to stretch under what conditions?
During chronic accumulation of fluid in the pericardial cavity.
Acute accumulation of fluid build up will not allow the fibrous layer to stretch and you will see a decrease in cardiac output.
Which ribs does the heart correspond with and is conserved across all species?
Ribs 3-6
What is important to remember when trying to oscultate a large animal?
The thoracic limb covers most of the area where the heart is located. Have to go behind the limb in order to hear the heart.
What view are you looking at?
Identify the structures:
- )
- )
- )
- )
Auricular side (left body wall)
- ) Left Ventricle
- ) Right Ventricle
- ) Left auricle
- ) Right auricle
What are the structures highlighted in yellow?
Identify the structures numbered:
- )
- )
Coronary grooves
- ) Paraconal interventricular groove
- ) Conus arteriosis
