Internal thorax Flashcards
Source of sym innervation
T1-L2
Source of parasymp innervation
brain stem and S2,3,4
contents of middle mediatinum
pericardium, heart, origins of great vessels
borders of middle mediastinum
ant, post, sup
contents of ant mediastinum
internal thoracic vessels + thymus
contents of sup mediastinum
esoph, trach, aortic arch, brachiocehpalic veins, SVC, brach. trunk (art) left common carotid + left subclavian, phrenic, vagus, L recurrent laryngeal
order of sup mediastinum vessels
veins, arteries, wind, water - ant to post
course of vagus nerve (X)
runs down along esophagus
contents of post mediastinum
symp trunk, throracic duct, azygous(es), dec aorta, esoph, primary bronchi
4 portions of parietal lung pleura and their innervation
cupola - supraclavicular
mediastinal - phrenic
costal - intercostals
diaphragmatic - intercostal (ext) and phrenic (int)
level of tracheal bifurcation
T4/5
vessels that loop over trach
L - aorta
R - azygous
bronchi branches
primary (main)>secondary (lobar)> tertiary (segmental > intrapulmonary
surfaces of lung
apex, base, costal, mediastinal
pulmonary ligament
fold at the inferior reflection of root of lung
level of pulm artery branches
T4/5
Blood supply to lung
bronciole arts (aorta+intercostals) and veins (azygous +hemiazygous)
Lymph drainage path from deep to superficial
pulmonary nodes>bronchopulmonary nodes>tracheopulmonary nodes>bronchiomediastinal lymph trunks
Lung innervations
from symp trunk and vagus via pulmonary plexus
air or blood in pleaura
pneumothorax and hemothorax
suface reflection - pleural borders
R - sternocalvicular joint to sternal angle>down to rib 6>lateral to rib 8 in midclavicular line>to 10 in midaxiallary>12 in back
L - sternocalvicular joint to sternal angle>down to rib 4> laternal to edge of sternum>down to rib 6>lateral to rib 8 in midclavicular line>to 10 in midaxiallary>12 in bacl
surface reflection - lung borders
R - neck of first rib>down mid sternum to rib 6> along 6 to midclavicular>8 in mid axillary>10th in back (2 below plearal border)
L - neck of first rib, down mid-sternum to 4, along 4 to midclavicular, then down to 6 in mid-clavicular>to 8 in midaxiallary>10 in back
two lung recesses
costodiaphragmatic, costomediastinal
3 methods of chest expansion
vertical - diaphram down
anterior post - intercostal muscles contract
transverse - intercostals
