Lecture 1 Flashcards
3 divisions of hypaxial muscles
- body wall muscles: between celom and skin
- limb muscles
- Prevertebral muscles (neck)
Body wall muscles (lateral)
Neck: scalenes
Thorax: external intercostals, internal intercostals, “scattered deep bits”
Abdomen: external oblique, internal oblique, transverse abdominus
Body wall muscles (anterior)
Neck: rectus cervicis muscles
Thorax: none
Abdomen: rectus abdominus, pyramidalis
External intercostal muscles
- Most external muscle of body wall
- deficient anteriorly, made up of fascia and called the external intercostal membrane
Internal thoracic muscles
- deep to external intercostal muscles
- deficient posteriorly
- fascia is called internal intercostal membrane
Scattered deep bits
- posterior: subcostal muscle fibers span to intercostal spaces
- laterally: innermost intercostal muscles
- anterior: transverse thoracis- spans several spaces from the ribs to the sternum
Deepest layers of thorax (muscle and connective tissue)
- scattered deep bits
- loose connective tissue: endothoracic fascia
- parietal pleura
VAN
- superficial to scattered deep bits
Vein: posterior intercostal vein
Artery: posterior intercostal artery (comes of aorta)
Nerve: intercostal nerve–> thoracic ventral rami
How many intercostal nerves are there?
11
Intercostal nerves span from….
T1-T11
What happens to T12?
Subcostal nerve
Sympathetic trunk
White rami communicans–>sympathetic trunk–>
Input: T1- L2 through white rami
Posterior intercostal artery
- 11 of them
- Intercostal spaces 3-11
- comes off the aorta
Internal thoracic artery
Gives off anterior intercostal artery (1-6)
- anterior intercostal artery branches into: (after 6th intercostal space)
- superior epigastric artery
- musculophrenic artery (7,8,9)
Anastemosis in thorax
- Posterior intercostal artery and anterior intercostal artery
- Superior epigastric artery and inferior epigastric artery
- with in rectus abdominus
