Kuchera 4 Flashcards
Results of good chest function are
Decreased tissue congestion
Increased cardiac output
Increased circulation
Increase cellular nutrition
Increase immune response
Lymph return is the only way for what to get back into circulation?
lipids and interstitial proteins
T/F - Reduced venous and/or lymphatic return can separately or together be responsible for hypovolemia, decreased cardiac output and decreased effectiveness of the immune system?
True
What are the accessory muscles of respiration?
SCM, 3 Scalenes, pec major and minor, serratus anterior, lats, QL
What level of thoracic vertebrae does the suprasternal notch lie at?
T2
the xiphoid process is anterior to?
T9
the Angle of Louis is anterior to?
T4
the umbilicus is anterior to?
L3/4
Functionally, the anatomical thoracic inlet includes what boundaries?
- T1
- right and left first rib
- manubrium
Sibson’s Fascia
Connective tissue that covers the apex of each lung - the final fascial area for obstruction of the two great lymphatic collecting channels that bring interstitial fluids from the body back to the brachiocephalic verins.
Functional thoracic inlet
- T1-4
- first 2 ribs
- manubrium
- sternum
What are the parasympathetic nerves that pass through the thoracic inlet (C7-T3)?
vagus (heart, lungs, upper GI, small intestines, right colon and kidneys)
what are the somatic nerves that pass through the thoracic inlet?
- nerves to the arm (brachial plexus)
- phrenic (C3/4/5 - to diaphragm)
What is the cervicothoracic fascial diaphragm?
Sibson’s fascia
lies cephalad to each clavicle
supraclavicular space
supraclavicular space
not used directly in diagnosing the thoracic inlet dysfunction, but can indicate congestion in the head or neck on that side
infraclavicular spaces
soft tissue immediately caudal and posterior to the inferior surface of the shaft of each clavicle
What are the most basic structures that make up the functional shoulder?
humerus, scapula, clavicle
What is the main activity of the rotator cuff?
stabilize and maintain the integrity of the GH during shoulder function
which direction does the shoulder joint glide during abduction?
inferiorly
which direction does the glenoid fossa face?
30 degrees anterior to a true sagittal plane - laterally and slightly anterior
Reduced venous and/or lymphatic return can separately or together be responsible for
hypovolemia, decreased cardiac output and decreased effectiveness of the immune system
How many costovertebral joints are there?
12 - costovertebral
10- costotransverse
