Q

diaphragm

A

expands and increases the vertical dimension of the thoracic cavity

  • this increases pressure in the abdominopelvic cavity
  • this is a thin muscle
  • contraction causes it to flatten out which increases the space in the thoracic cavity

phrenic nerve

A

decends through the thoracic cavity and innervates the diaphragm

  • it originates from the C3, C4, and C5
  • C3 C4 C5 keep the diaphragm alive*

Q

atria

A
  • there are two, a left and right

- these receive the either oxygenated or deoxygenated blood and then pump it to the ventricles

Q

left ventricle

A
  • this has much thicker muscular wall than the right ventricle
  • this pumps blood out to the aorta and to the rest of the body

Q

Right AV valve

A
  • tricuspid valve
  • this prevents back flow from the ventricle into the atria
  • this opens when the pressure in the right atrium overcomes the pressure to keep the valve closed and causes it to open
  • this kinda looks like a flap

  • this prevents back flow fro m the ventricle into the atria

22
Q

which valve comes first the tricuspid or the bicuspid

A

the tricuspid because it is in the right side of the heart which receives the deoxygenated blood
-gotta Tri it before you Bi it

23
Q

Pulmonary semilunar valve

A

this prevents back flow from the pulmonary trunk into the right ventricle

24
Q

aortic semilunar valve

A

-this prevents back flow from the aorta back into the left ventricle

25
Q

inter ventricular septum

A

this separates the right and left ventricles

26
Q

trabeculae Carneae

A

the muscular ridges on the walls of the ventricles

27
Q

papillary muscles

A

projections from the heart wall that attach to the chordea tendineae
-these provide support to prevent prolapse of the AV valves

28
Q

chordae tendineae

A

prevent the AV valves from prolapsing into the atria

29
Q

fossa ovalis

A
  • a small oval indent on the septum
30
Q

what created the fossa ovals

A

Prior to birth The fossa ovalis was an opening in the fetus, then called the foramen ovalis, that allowed blood to bypass the pulmonary circulation because the fetus received oxygenated blood from the mother and did not need this part of circulation (this closes shortly after birth leaving the fossa ovalis)

31
Q

normal inspiration

A
  • this uses the diaphragm and the external intercostals
32
Q

forceful inspiration

A
  • uses the diaphragm and the external intercostals just like normal inspiration
  • also uses the serratus posterior superior and then a series of other muscles that are recruited
33
Q

exhaleation

A

normal exhalation does not require any muscles because it is passive and it is returning to the normal volume of the thoracic cavity
-relaxation of the diaphram and the external intercostals and the elasticity of the lungs will recoil and push air out of the thorax

34
Q

forceful exhalation

A

-requires the recruitment of muscles
-recruits the internal intercostals
-transversus thoracis
-serratus posterior inferior
These all work together to decompress the thoracic cavity along with the relaxation of the other two

35
Q

transversus thoracis

A

this is deep to the thoracic cage

  • this is the inner most intercostal
  • these are recruited for forceful expiration
36
Q

where does deoxygenated blood enter the heart

A

-deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the inferior and superior vena cava

37
Q

pulmonary veins do what

A

these bring the oxygenated blood back to the heart and deposit into the left atrium

38
Q

coronary arteries

A

these supply the heart itself with blood

39
Q

right coronary artery

A

this branches into the marginal artery and the Posterior interventricular artery

40
Q

marginal artery

A
  • this branches down toward the apex of the heart toward the left of the heart on the anterior side
  • supplys the right ventricle
41
Q

posterior interventricular artery

A

the right coronary artery travels around to the posterior and then branches down into this artery to the inferior of the heart
-It branches off on the inferior surface of the heart within the atrioventricular groove.

42
Q

left coronary artery

A

this branches into the anterior interventricular artery and the circumflex artery

43
Q

anterior interventricular artery

A

this branches off near the left margin of the pulmonary trunk from the left pulmonary artery
- this supples the left ventricle and the right ventricle

44
Q

circumflex artery

A
  • this supples the left atrium
  • this is a branch off of the left coronary artery
  • this is heading toward the posterior of the heart
45
Q

coronary sinus

A
  • this is where the veins all come together and drain

- this is on the posterior side of the heart and is very large and goes across horizontally

46
Q

middle cardiac vein

A

-this is paired with the posterior interventricular artery

47
Q

small cardiac vein

A

this is paired with the marginal artery

48
Q

great cardiac vein

A

runs with the anterior interventricular artery

49
Q

right lung

A

this is larger

-has three lobes

50
Q

left lung

A

this is smaller of the two lungs

-this has two lobes and is smaller because it makes room for the heart

51
Q

cartiloginous rings

A
  • these help with the stability of the trachea
  • they are c shaped rings that allow for stability and flexibility
  • they are c shaped so that the esophagus has room to move when a bolus is moving down it
52
Q

what is a good way to distinguish between the arteries and veins

A
  • at the hilum, the arteries are thicker and have more structure whereas the veins are more translucent
  • on the side of the heart, the veins will be more deflated and the arteries will be more raised
53
Q

what allows us to see the heart, liver, and stomach all at once when looking at the cross sections

A

-the dome shape of the diaphram because the liver and stomach are under it and the heart rests at the top of the dome

54
Q

what is the position of the patient in cross sectional views

A

the patient is lying on their back and we are looking from their feet
