Secondary cartilaginous symphysis
Xiphisternal
Xiphiod process and body of sternum
Primary cartilaginous joint synchondrosis
Describe the normal movement of thorax during normal breathing
Movement of the thoracic cage during inspiration increases the intrathoracic diameter and volume of the thorax and decreases the intrathoracic pressure drawing air into the lungs
on expiration muscles relax decreaseing intrathoracic volume and increasing pressure expelling air also allows stressed elastic tissue to recoil.
Forceful breathing + muscles used
Transverse and anteroposterior diameter increases
External intercostal muscles and accessory muscles - sternocleidomastoid, scalene muscles + part of trapezius.
Organisation and function of intercostal muscles
Superficial layer = external intercostal, fibre bundle is oriented infertoanteriorly
Middle layer = internal intercostal, inferioposterioly
Inner layer = innermost intercostal inferioposterioly
Intercostal nerves and vessels
Nerovascular bundles along costal groove are organised in the order of Van another set at the upper part of rib called collateral branches.
The intercostal van’s lie between the internal and innermost intercostal muscles
Arterial supply and venous drainage of thoracic wall
Arterial supply; posterior intercostal arteries branch of descending thoracic aorta 3-12
Anterior intercostal arteries arises from internal thoracic artery branch of the axillary artery (lateral part of subclavian artery)
Venous drainage; on left side you have hemi azygos vain above accessory azygos vain and on right azygos vain drain to SVC
Lymphatic drainage of thoracic wall
Right side of chest wall drained by right lymphatic duct to right subclavian vain
Left side drained by thoracic duct to left subclavian vain
Lymphatic drainage of Breast
Majority by axillary lymph nodes
Parasternal lymph node
Abdominal lymph node
Define dermatome
Area of the skin supplied by a single spinal nerve
T4 t10
T4 = nipple
T10= belly button
Structure of diaphragm
3 peripheral attachments ziphiod process, costal cartilages of ribs 7-12, lumber vertebrae
Central attachment = central tendon
Parts of the diaphragm that Aries from vertebrae
Left crus L1-L2
Right crus L1-L3 surrounds opening of oesophagus to prevent gastric reflux
Function of diaphragm
Primary muscle of inspiration, it contacts and the dome flattens increasing thoracic volume on relaxation thoracic volume decreases.
Diaphragm hiatuses openings
T8= caval opening for inferior vena cava and right phrenic nerve
T 10 = oesophageal hiatus for oesophagus and both vagus Nerves
T12= aortic hiatus for aorta azygos hemiazygos and thoracic duct
Phrenic nerve
Mixed nerve meaning it’s both sensory and moter. Originates from C3, C4 and mainly C5
Moter function = innervates the diaphragm from the inferior surface
Sensory function = supplies central part of diaphragm
Paralysis causes paradoxical movement

Contents of upper respiratory tract
Nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx
