  • serratus posterior superior
28
Q

What muscles depress the ribcage?

  • subcostal muscles
  • serratus posterior inferior
29
Q

Which muscle involved in the movement of the ribcage is the only epaxial derived muscle?

A

levator costarum

30
Q

What ultimately decides if a muscle depress or elevates the ribcage?

A

Direction of muscle fiber, and this can change depending on segment of rib.

31
Q

Between which two muscle layers do intercostal vein, artery, and nerve, along with collateral branches run?

A

innermost intercostal and internal intercostal

32
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the posterior intercostal artery?

A
  • Origin
    • supreme intercostal arteries (intercostal spaces 1 and 2)
    • thoracic aorta (remaining intercostal spaces
  • Course
    • pass between internal innermost intercostal muscles
  • Distribution
    • intercostal muscles and overlying skin
    • parital pleura
33
Q

What is the origin, ourse, and distribution of the anterior intercostal artery?

A
  • Origin
    • internal thoracic arteries (intercostal spaces 1-6)
    • musculophrenic arteries (intercostal spaces 7-9)
  • Course
    • pass between internal and innermost intercostal muscles
  • Distribution
    • intercostal muscles and overlying skin
    • parietal pleura
34
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the internal thoracic artery?

A
  • Origin
    • subclavian artery
  • Course
    • passes inferiorly, lateral to sternum, between costal cartilages and internal intercostal msucles to divide into superior epigastric and musculophrenic arteries
  • Distribution
    • by way of anterior intercostal arteries to intercostal spaces 1-6 and,
    • musculophrenic arteries to intercostal spaces 7-9
35
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the subcostal artery?

A
  • Origin
    • thoracic aorta
  • Course
    • courses along interior border of 12th rib
  • Distribution
    • muscles of anterolateral abdominal wall and overlying skin
36
Q

What are the lungs covered by?

A

visceral pleura

37
Q

True or False:

Pulmonary arteries go into the lungs superior and the pulmonary veins come out of the lung inferior to the pulmonary arteries.

A

True

38
Q

What structures does the left lung have an area for?

A
  • esophagus
  • aorta
  • vagus nerve
  • phrenic nerve
39
Q

Does the left lung have a horizontal fissure?

A

NO, just the right lung has a horizontal fissure.

40
Q

What does the bronchial veins drain into?

A

azygos and hemiazygos veins

41
Q

The heart and the lungs receive sympathetic innervation primarily via which one of the following pathways?

  • a) spinal nerve pathway
  • b) postganglionic sympathetic pathway
  • c) splanchnic nerve pathway
  • d) adrenal medulla pathway
A

B

42
Q

Where do the left bronchial arteries come from?

A

aorta

43
Q

Where do the right bronchial arteries come from?

A

intercostal arteries, aorta, or left bronchial artery

44
Q

What does the right lung venous drain into?

A

azygous vein

45
Q

What does the left lung venous drain into?

A

accessory hemiazygos vein or intercostal vein

46
Q

What is a pulmonary collapse?

A
  • Air infiltrating the pleural cavity (pneumothorax) can break surface tension between the visceral and parietal pleura.
  • When this happens, the elastic lung tissue will recoil (collapse) leaving air filled space within the pleural cavity that prevents expansion of the lung during inspiration.
47
Q

What is a hemothorax, hydrothorax, and chylothorax?

A
  • Blood -> hemothorax
  • Serous fluid -> hydrothorax
  • Lymph -> chylothorax

caused by penetrating wound and the substances infiltrate the pleural cavity and can also cause the lung to collapse.

48
Q

What pleuritis (pleurisy)?

A
  • inflammation of the pleura, may cause “scaping sounds” during auscultation, and can cause sharp stabbing pain.
49
Q

What is a pulmonary embolism (PE)?

A
  • obstruction of pulmonary artery by blood clot, fat globule, or air bubble; often fatal.
  • passes from vein into right side of heart via vena cava andthen travels through heart and into pulmonary artery, obstructing blood flow.
  • deep vein thrombosis (DVT) common cause
50
Q

What is bronchogenic carcinoma (lung cancer)?

A
  • common type of lung cancer arising from bronchial epithelium
  • smoking a major cause
  • highly metastatic due to association of lymphatics in bronchial tissue
  • typically metastasizes to brain and cranium
51
Q

What is malignant mesothelioma?

A
  • rarer type of lung cancer affecting pleura (mesothelium)
  • caused by exposure to asbestos
  • can affect other internal organs
52
Q

What is pulmonary tuberculosis (TB)?

A
  • bacterial infection of the lungs (Mycobacterium tuberculosis)
  • can spread to other organs
  • contagion spread through the air through droplets from an infected individual coughing, sneezing, or talking.
  • 1/3 of the world’s population is currently infected with TB, but only 5-10% become sick or infectious (active TB).
