Q

Where does the lymph from the breasts drain (mostly)?

A

To the axilla.
Thus, metastases of breast cancer first spread to axillary nodes.

It CAN spread to parasternal nodes, however.

31
Q

What is the least central hole through the diaphragm?

A

Aorta (T12!)

32
Q

What is the benefit of having the esophagus in the muscular part of the diaphragm?

A

When breathing (i.e. diaphragmatic contraction), the esophagus will be constricted to prevent air in/food out

33
Q

What is the pump handle mechanism?

A

When inspiring actively, Ribs and sternum rise and increase A-P diameter. Done via scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscles to raise upper ribs.

34
Q

What is the bucket handle mechanism?

A

When inspiring actively, ribs elevate to increase M-L diameter.

External intercostal muscles raise the lower ribs.

35
Q

What happens in forced expiration?

A

Abdominal muscles contract to increase abdominal pressure and force the diaphragm up.

36
Q

What is the innervation of the diaphragm?

A

Phrenic nerve (C3-C5, keep you alive)

37
Q

What is the blood supply of the diaphragm?

A

From above, the diaphragm receives blood from branches of the internal thoracic arteries, namely the pericardiophrenic artery and musculophrenic artery; from the superior phrenic arteries, which arise directly from the thoracic aorta; and from the lower internal intercostal arteries.

38
Q

What is the fatty layer called below the umbilicus?

A

Campers layer

39
Q

What is the membranous layer called below the umbilicus?

A

Scarpas layer

40
Q

What is the relative orientation of external and internal oblique muscles?

A

90 deg to one another

41
Q

What is deep to the transversus muscle?

A

Transversalis fascia

42
Q

What 2 muscles are medial to the transversus abdominus muscles?

A

Quadratus lumborum

Psoas major and minor

43
Q

What does the quadratus lumborum do?

A

Anchors lower ribs to iliac crest/closes posterior abdominal wall

44
Q

What do psoas major and minor do?

A

Flex the hip

45
Q

What is the rectus sheath?

A

Interweaving of aponeuroses of abdominal wall muscles

46
Q

What does the rectus sheath (interweaving of aponeuroses fibers) encase?

A

Rectus abdominis muscles

47
Q

What is the midline of the abdomen called?

A

Linea alba

48
Q

Below the arcuate line, what happens?

A

The fascia of the rectus sheath is 100% ANTERIOR to the muscle (no longer encases the muscles)

49
Q

What are the tendinous lines that create 6 packs called?

A

Tendinous inscriptions

50
Q

What blood vessels run vertical deep to the rectus abdominus muscles?

A

Inferior/Superior epigastric vessels

51
Q

What forms the inguinal ligament?

A

Thickened, under-turned margin of the external oblique aponeurosis

52
Q

What are the attachments of the inguinal ligament?

A

ASIS to pubic tubercle

53
Q

What is the inner doorway to the spermatic cord?

A

The deep inguinal ring made by the transversalis fascia

54
Q

What is the outer doorway to the spermatic cord?

A

Superficial inguinal ring made by the external oblique

55
Q

What is the inguinal (Hasselbach’s) triangle?

A

An aera of weakness (just transversalis fascia) where hernias form.

Borders:

Lateral side of rectus abdominis
Inguinal ligament
Inferior epigastric vessels

56
Q

What is an indirect hernia?

A

Follows path of descending testes failing to close. Loops of intestine herniate through the inguinal canal.

Inferior epigastric vessels are MEDIAL to the hernia.

All layers of scrotum surround the bowel loop.

Considered congenital because it occurs in infant baby boys.

57
Q

What is a direct hernia?

A

Increased intra-abdominal pressure forces the intestine with its peritoneal cover through the weak inguinal triangle.

Inferior epigastric vessels are LATERAL to hernia.

Occurs in adult men.

58
Q

What are the layers of the abdomen and thorax?

A

Pleura and peritoneum

TWO layers: one on the organ and one attached to the body wall.

59
Q

How does the pleura/peritoneum innervation work?

A

The innervation on the body wall behaves like the body wall (i.e. pain can be well localized)

60
Q

Ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves are ____.

A

L1

61
Q

What connects the internal thoracic arteries to the aorta?

A

Intercostal arteries

62
Q

What do the internal thoracic arteries become when they cross into the diaphragm?

A

Superior epigastric vessels

63
Q

Which layer of the pleura tightly adheres to the body wall?

A

Parietal

64
Q

In the lung, where does pleura transition from parietal to visceral?

A

The hilum

65
Q

What is the recess/lowest point of the pleural cavity?

A

Costodiaphragmatic recess

66
Q

What is pleurisy?

A

Inflammation of the pleura

67
Q

What separates superior and inferior mediastinum?

A

T4/T5 (where the manubrium meets the bottom f the sternum). Also where rib 2 attaches

68
Q

What are the contents of the superior mediastinum?

A

Thymus

69
Q

What is in the middle mediastinum?

A

Heart
Roots of the great vessels
Pericardium

70
Q

What is in the posterior mediastinum?

A

Esophagus
Descending aorta
Thoracic duct
Azygous, hemi-a, accessory hemiazygous veins (IVC of the thorax)

71
Q

What are the superior phrenic arteries?

A

Paired parietal branches to upper surface of diaphragm

72
Q

What do the paired branches of arteries off the aorta do?

A

Almost entirely to body wall.

Exception = bronchial arteries to the lungs

73
Q

What do the UNpaired branches (down the midline) of the aorta do?

A

To organs (e.g. esophagus)

74
Q

What is the venous drainage of the LEFT side of the thorax?

A

Accessory hemiazygous

Hemiazygous

75
Q

What is the venous drainage of the RIGHT side of the thorax?

A

Azygous

76
Q

What is the action/path of the vagus nerve?

A
