Q

How many intercostal spaces are there?

A

11 (between every rib)

20
Q

Planes of motion of true and false ribs

A

True ribs 1-7: coronal (pump handle)
False ribs 8-10: sagittal (bucket handle)

21
Q

(blank) has only somatic motor; there is no (blank) dermatome

A

C1; C1

22
Q

Palpateable dermatome T levels and where they are

A

T4: at/above nipple line or at root of breast
T6: xiphoid process level
T10: umbilical level
T12: along iliac crest to pubic tubercle

23
Q

Sympathetic innervation:
Parasympathetic innervation:

A

-T1-T4 level; no direct innervation; descending from cervical ganglia; following ventral rami to support thoracic wall
- Vagus nerve (CN 11)

24
Q

Intrinsic blood supply: superior, posterior, and anterior

A

Superior: Supreme intercostal artery (branch from costocervical trunk)

Posterior: posterior intercostal artery (branch from aorta)

Anterior: internal thoracic artery, branch from subclavian
- anterior intercostal
- musculophrenic along costal margin
- superior epigastricc

25
Q

The subclavian artery is the midpoint of

A

the clavicle/ lateral border of the first rib

26
Q

The axillary artery is the inferior border of the

A

teres major

27
Q

Three parts of the axillary artery

A

Screw The Lawyer, Save A Patient

1) Superior thoracic artery
2) Thoracoacromial + Lateral thoracic
3) Subscapular + Anterior + Posterior circumflex

28
Q

What nerves innervate organs in the thoracic cavity

A

T1-T4 visceral nerves and Vagus nerve (CN 10)

29
Q

External intercostal fiber orientation vs Internal/innermost

A

External: Top left to bottom right
In: Top right to bottom left

30
Q

neuromuscular bundles in intercostal space =

A

Major bundle: VAN, cutaneous branch; located on the inferior border of superior rib and runs between the inner and innermost intercostals

Muscular/collateral bundle: NAV; located on superior border of inferior rib; also runs between inner/innermost intercostals

31
Q

The diaphragm is an

A

extrinsic thoracic muscle

32
Q

Which diaphragm dome is higher and why

A

Right dome because of liver space

33
Q

Intercostal nerve innervates:

A

transverse thoracis and subcostals

34
Q

Internal intercostal muscles help with

A

Expiration

35
Q

Break down the pleural cavity

A
  • 2 lungs
  • parietal pleura = innervated by somatic cutaneous nerves; is along the mediastinum (phrenic nerve)
  • Visceral pleura - outer layer of lungs innervated by visceral sensory nerves or none at all
  • intrapleural pressure is always at or below -4mmHg
36
Q

Break down the mediastinum

A
  • holds the heart in the pericardial cavity
  • esophagus, trachea, bronchi, giant cardiac vessels
  • 2 serous membrane layers wrap all internal organs from endoderm/mesoderm with some exceptions
37
Q

Expansion vs compression of pleural cavity

A

Expansion = elevation of rib cage, less than -4mmHg, inspiration

Compression = depression of rib cage, back to -4mmHg, expiration

38
Q

the accumulation of fluid in pleural cavity is called

A

Costodiaphragmatic recess

39
Q

Atmospheric pressure vs pleural pressure

A

Atm: 760 mmHg
P: 756 mmHg

40
Q

What is a pneumothorax and how is it treated

A

A collapsed lung when pleural cavity is above -4mmHg; tube is inserted above superior border of 5th or 6th rib to avoid cutaneous branch

41
Q

right vs left lung pulmonary artery to bronchi relashionship

A

RALS = Right anterior Left superior

(right lung has pulm artery anterior to bronchi and left lung has pulm artery superior to bronchi)

42
Q

Which bronchi is more vertical?

A

RIght bronchi

43
Q

What supplys the lungs for normal functions

A

Bronchial arteries and veins

43
Q

Compare the lobes and fissures on each lung

A

Right: 3 lobes; 2 fissures (oblique and horizontal)

Left: 2 lobes with a lingula (degenerated middle lobe) and 1 oblique fissure

43
Q

Main site for O2 exchange is ..

A

Alveoli (single layer of specialized epithelia)

44
Q

Difference between pulmonary trunk and veins

A

Trunk= R+L pulm artery, low O2, BLUE

R+L Veins = high O2, RED
