Heart/great vessels/respiratory Flashcards
internal intercostal
this depresses the ribs with forced exhalation
external intercostal
this elevates the ribs with inhaleation
serratus posterior inferior
depress the ribs with forced exhalation
-these are at the inferior end of the ribs on the dorsal side and they start medially and move laterally superior until they reach the bottom ribs
serratus posterior superior
- elevates the ribs with forced inhalation
- these are at the superior end of the ribs on the dorsal side and they begin medially and move laterally inferior until they reach the ribs
diaphragm
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
decends through the thoracic cavity and innervates the diaphragm
- it originates from the C3, C4, and C5
- C3 C4 C5 keep the diaphragm alive*
trachea
this is hard due to cartilaginous rings that help maintain the lumen so that it doesn’t collapse
-this is where air enters the body and enters the respiratory tract
carina
this is the end the trachea when it spits into the two primary bronchi
alvoli
- these are the site of gas exchange
- these kinda looked like a condensed sponge
oblique and horizontal fissure
these are separations that show where the separate lobes are on the right lung
hilum
this is on the medial aspect of the lobes
- it is a hub of vessels entering and exiting the lung
what is RALS
Right Anterior
Left Superior
-this is referring to where the pulmonary artery enters each of the lung compared to where the bronchi is entering
aorta
- leaves the left ventricle
- has thicker walls than pulmonary trunk
- near the base it has branches for where the coronary arties leave the aortia
- has an ascending limb, a defending limb and an arch
superior/inferior vena cava
these both carry deoxygenated blood to the right atrium
pulmonary vein
carry oxygenated blood to the left atrium
auricle
another term for atria
atria
- there are two, a left and right
- these receive the either oxygenated or deoxygenated blood and then pump it to the ventricles
left ventricle
- this has much thicker muscular wall than the right ventricle
- this pumps blood out to the aorta and to the rest of the body
right ventricle
-this pumps blood to the pulmonary trunk to enter the pulmonary circuit
Right AV valve
- 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
Left AV valve
- bicuspid valve
- this prevents back flow fro m the ventricle into the atria
- this kinda looks like a flap
