Q

How is the sternum attached to ribs?

A

via costal cartilage

20
Q

What type of joints are the thoracic joints?

A

Synovial and cartilaginous

21
Q

What type of joint are the sternocostal joints?

A

synovial

22
Q

What type of joint is the first sternocostal joint?

A

Cartilaginous

23
Q

What type of joints are the costochondral joints?

A

cartilaginous

24
Q

What type of joints are the interchondral joints?

A

synovial

25
Q

What is the costotransverse?

A

the joint between rib and transverse process of vertebrae

26
Q

What are costovertebral?

A

between rib and body of vertebrae

27
Q

What type of joints are the articulation between thoracic vertebrae and ribs?

A

synovial joints

28
Q

What is the role of respiratory muscles?

A

move the rib cage to allow us to breath

29
Q

What are the primary inspiratory muscles?

A

Diaphragm and intercostals

30
Q

When are the accessory muscles active?

A

Only when needed

31
Q

The diaphragm is a sheet of what kind of muscle?

A

skeletal muscle

32
Q

What does the diaphragm seperate?

A

Thorax from abdomen

33
Q

What shape is the diaphragm when relaxed and contracted?

A

Dome-shaped and flattened

34
Q

What happens when diaphragm contracts?

A

Expansion of thoracic cavity and compression of abdominopelvic cavity

35
Q

What happens during normal ‘quiet’ inspiration?

A

Diaphragm contracts and external intercostals contract and lift ribs

36
Q

What happens during active ‘forced’ inspiration?

A

The same as quiet inspiration however accessory muscles contract to further expand thoracic cavity

37
Q

What happens during normal ‘quiet’ expiration?

A

passive process of diaphragm relaxing and external intercostals relaxing

38
Q

What happens during active ‘forced’ expiration?

A

sam as quiet expiration, however internal intercostals and accessory muscles contract

39
Q

What gives the lung expanding properties?

A

Lung tissue is elastic and always trying to recoil

40
Q

What makes the lungs stick to the thoracic wall?

A

The pleura, specifically the fluid bond

41
Q

Lungs expand when?

A

During inspiration

42
Q

Where is the visceral pleura?

A

on the lungs

43
Q

What separates parietal and visceral pleura?

A

Pleural fluid

44
Q

What is the function of pleural fluid?

A

slippery surface for frictionless movement against other structures

45
Q

Describe the movement initiated by thoracic wall movement?

A

Increase volume in thorax -> increase volume of lung -> decrease pressure in lung-> air flows in
