lecture 33 Flashcards
quiet inspiration
one muscle, diaphragm
forced inspiration
multiple muscles, accessory muscles of inspiration
diaphragm completely separates what
abdominal and thoracic cavities
diaphragm edges do what
attach to the inferior part of the rib cage
diaphragm intermediate region is what
central tendon
when diaphragm contracts, what happens to muscles
muscle fibers shorten, diaphragm pulls the central tendon down and forward
diaphragm is what attachment to what process
sternal attachment at xiphoid process
diaphragm costal attachment
attaches to inner border of ribs 7-12
vertebral diaphragmatic attachment
attaches w corpus of L1-L4 and transverse processes at L1
what attaches w corpus of L1-L4 and transverse processes at L1
vertebral diaphragmatic attachment
what attaches to inner border of ribs 7-12
diaphragm costal attachment
diaphragm central tendon
- crescent shaped, white and translucent
- conforms to prominence of vertebral column
- flexibility but depends on radiating fibers of the diaphragm for movement
- provides a strong and secure floor for the heart
three openings in the diaphragm
aortic hiatus, esophageal hiatus, foramen vena cava
aortic hiatus
descending abdominal aorta passes through
esophageal hiatus
esophagus passes through
foramen vena cava
inferior vena cava passes through
accessory muscles of inspiration
external intercostal muscles, internal intercostal muscles, levatores costarum, serratus posterior superior, sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, serratus anterior, subclavius, levator scapulae, trapezius, rhomboideus major, rhomboideus minor
when external intercostal muscles are contracted
the entire rib cage elevates, mostly distance moved is the front part
what is most significant respiratory muscles for speech
external intercostal muscles
what is between the 12 ribs - originate in the lower surface of each rib and course downward to insert into upper surface of rib immediately below
external intercostal muscles
internal intercostal muscles are where
near the sternum; assits with forced inspiration
originates from superior margin of each rib and runs up and medially to the inferior surface of the rib above
internal intercostal muscles
elevates rib cage; has longis and brevis
levatores costarum
originates on transverse processes of T7-T10, skips the rib below and inserts into next rib - courses obliquely out
levatores costarum longis
