L1 - Thoracic Wall & Lungs Flashcards
Superior Thoracic Aperture
the 1st rib and clavicles wrapped around
Inferior Thoracic Apature
Along the bottom ribs, around the back and across the spine
The Mammary Gland is to the pectoralis major.
What does the Mammary Gland consist of?
Superficial
It consists of:
- glandular tissue
- ducts
True or False
Inactive breast consists of adipose tissue.
True
What is the arterial supply of the breast?
Lateral Thoracic –> Lateral mammary branches
Internal Thoracic –> Medial mammary branches
Intercostal Arteries –> Inferior mammary branches
What is the lymphatic drainage of the breast?
Sentinel (Initial) Lymph Nodes
Axillary (lateral)
Parasternal (medial)
Inferior phrenic (inferior)
What is the major lymphatic drainage of the breast?
Axillary Lymph Nodes
The thoracic cavity is bounded by ?
the sternum
ribs
bodies of the vertebrae
How many pairs of ribs are there?
Name and describe them
12 pairs of ribs
True (Pairs: 1-7)
Connect DIRECTLY to the sternum via costal cartilage
False (Pairs: 8-10)
Connect INDIRECTLY to the sternum via costal cartilage of the rib above them
Floating (Pairs: 11 and 12)
Do NOT connect to the sternum
What Separates the Superior Mediastinum from the Inferior Mediastinum?
Sternal Plane (Angle of Louis)
Where does the sternal angle attach?
attaches 2nd rib
Extends posterior between T4 and T5
Which bones are associated with the thoracic wall?
clavicle and scapula
allow for shoulder movement
The first rib articulates through
The second through seventh ribs articulate through
a cartilaginous joint (immovable)
synovial joints (some movement)
Why is it important to have the first rib stable?
it stabilizes all the other ribs as they move
True or False
The sternal angle divides the superior mediastinum from the inferior mediastinum.
True
The head of the rib articulates with?
The tubercle articulates with?
the body of 2 vertebrae
the transverse process
The costal cartilage of the true ribs articulates
The false ribs articulate with
The floating ribs
directly with the sternum
the with the costal cartilage of the seventh
have no anterior articulation
What is superior to inferior in the costal groove?
Vein
Artery
Nerve
Where is the costal groove located?
Between the internal intercostal and the innermost intercostal muscles
Head of each rib articulates at
The tubercle of each rib articulates with
ICF articulates to the rib
Ex: ICF of V6 binds to
SCF and TCF articulate to
two different vertebrae
the same vertebrae
BELOW
rib 7
the SAME rib
The neurovascular bundle in the costal groove is located where?
A. Deep to the innermost intercostal muscle
B. Between the external and internal intercostal muscles
C. Between the internal and innermost intercostal muscles
D. Superficial to the external intercostal muscle
C. Between the internal and innermost intercostal muscles
The first rib is
flattened superior-inferior, instead of anterior-posterior
The groove for the subclavian vein is
The groove for the s-c artery is to the scalene tubercle.
Subclavian Vein –> Anterior
Subclavian Artery –> Posterior
Scalenes can become what for breathing?
accessory muscles
Name the muscles of the thoracic wall
Pectoralis major
Pectoralis minor
Serratus anterior
The external intercostal muscle becomes
membranous at around the junction of the ribs and costal cartilage
It continues as a membrane anteriorly
IMPortant EMAil
The external intercostal muscle runs
Lateral to Medial
as you travel superior to inferior
The internal intercostals are muscular and membranous .
anteriorly
posterior
IMPortant EMAil
The internal intercostal muscle runs
Medial to Lateral
as you go inferiorly
Innermost costal muscles are
mostly on the lateral aspect
and are
DEEP to the vascular bundle
