Accessory Respiratory Muscles:
- Pectoralis Major - Pectoralis Minor - Serratus Anterior - Serratus Posterior - latissimus dorsi, sternocleidomastoid, anterior/middle/posterior scalene, abdominal muscles
26
Accessory Respiratory Muscles meaning
different primary function, but can be recruited to help with respiration
27
Pec major accessory muscle example:
- primary action is movement of humorous - flip origin and insertion - fixes upper limb - movement from new insertion to new origin, acts on rib cage to help with inspiration - helps sternal head to elevate the rib cage
28
Insertion and Attachment of pectoralis major: primary function:
- arises from clavicle and sternum and inserts into the humorous
29
Insertion and Attachment of pectoralis major: accessory muscle in respiration:
- origin from humorous - insertion into clavicle and sternum, but upper limb fixed
30
Serratus Anterior origin, insertion and primary action
- origin: anterior surface of ribs 1-8/9 - insertion: medial border of scapulae - primary action to act on scapula
31
Serratus anterior origin, insertion and action when function as an accessory muscle in respiration?
- origin: medial border of scapula - insertion: ribs 1-8/9 - action: on ribs, elevation, inspiration
32
Latissimus Dorsi: - location - origin - insertion - action - action as an accessory respiratory muscle
- superficial massive muscle in back - origin: thoracumbular fascia, lumbar vertebrae, iliac crest - insertion: proximal humerus anteriorly - action: ?? - accessory action: movements of ribcage, when upper limb is fixed
33
Serratus Posterior (Superior and Inferior): - location - origin - insertion - action - accessory action
- back - origin: spinous processes - insertion: ribs - action - accessory action: moves rib cage, when upper limb is fixed?
34
Sternocleidomastoid: - location - origin - insertion - action - accessory action in
- neck - origin: mastoid process of skull and part of temporal bone - insertion: clavicle and manubrium - action - accessory action: movement of ribbcage by acting upon manubrium
35
Anterior/middle/posterior scalene: - location - origin - insertion - action - accessory action
- very deep in posterior triangle of neck - - insertion: ribs - action: - accessory action: moves ribcage

Diaphragm structure (2):
- musculotendinous - double-domed
39
Diaphragm location:
- inferior boundary of thorax - divides trunk into thorax superiorly and abdomen inferiorly
40
Pericardium is ------- to diaphragm
superior
41
Stomach, spleen and liver are ------ to diaphragm
inferior will move during respiration
42
Action of Diaphragm
- primary muscle of respiration - allows transit of structures between thorax and abdomen
43
central tendon
pericardium sits on central tendon of diaphragm and is fused/adhered hence heart moves down when diaphragm moves down
44
Three important apertures of diaphragm allow
transit from thorax to abdomen oesophageal hiatus, aortic hiatus and ???
45
Diaphragm origin and insertion
Origin (muscular): - sternal part: xiphoid process - costal part: costal margin, ribs 7-12 - Lumbar part (crura): right L1-L3/4, left L1-2/3 Insertion: Central Tendon
46
Diagram of diaphragm
= white is central tendon = sternal part = costal part laterally = posteriorly most lumbar right and left crura come out slightly
47
Diaphragm blood supply(4):
- superior phrenic artery directly from thoracic aorta (right and left) - inferior phrenic artery directly from the abdominal aorta (right and left) - musculophrenic artery: internal thoracic arteries left and right arise from left and right subclavians. Internal thoracic arteries branch into anterior intercostal arteries. Internal thoracic arteries bifurcate into superior epigastric and musculophrenic arteries. Supplies diaphragm and costal spaces. Follows pathway of costal margin. - pericardiophrenic artery: supplies pericardium and diaphragm, travel with the phrenic nerve
48
Innervation of the diaphragm:
- Phrenic nerve: C3,C4,C5 keeps the diaphragm alive; motor and sensory supply carried to central tendon of diaphragm (insertion) - Intercostal nerve: T5-T11, subcostal nerve, sensory to muscular part
49
Only source of motor innervation to diaphragm from?
the phrenic nerve
50
Source of sensory innervation to diaphragm?
phrenic nerve intercostal and subcostal nerve, T5-T11 and T12
51

52

53
Inspiration diaphragm and ribcage movement:
- diaphragm
54
Active Respiration means and is known as
- more forceful - respiration
55
Passive inspiration diaphragm
contracts and thoracic wall recoils? Returns to normal position and volume
56
Active inspiration
external intercostals, accessory muscles recruited
57
Passive expiration
relaxation of diaphragm recoil of thoracic walls
58
Active expiration
internal and innermost intercostals accessory muscles
59
increase in intrathoracic volume, what change in pressure?
- decrease in pressure - air drawn into lungs - slight increase in pressure
60
Decrease intrathoracic volumes, what changes in pressure
- increase in pressure, forces air out, in order to decrease pressure
61
Vertical dimension of thorax during respiration occurs due to
diaphragm
62
Horizontal dimension during respiration occurs due to to
thoracic wall action - pump handle/ pendulum (AP diameter) - bucket handle (transverse diameter)
63
Pump Handle/Pendulum (AP diameter)
- movement at costovertebral joints - movement allows rib to elevate slightly allowing sternum to swing out anteriorly and superiorly, increasing diameter anterior and posteriorly
64
Bucket Handle (transverse diameter):
- movement at costovertebral joints - rib shaft movement out and up, superiorly
