M3 Anatomy Flashcards
T_ - T_ are typical intercostal nerves
T_- T_ & T_ -T_ are atypical intercostal nerves.
T3 - T6
T1 - T2 & T7 - T 11
Why are T1, 2 7-11 atypical intercostal nerves?
T1 - first rib and shares in brachial plexus. No lateral cutaneous branch.
T2 - lateral cutaneous branch (intercostobrachial nerve) - runs in axilla, communicating with medial cutaneous nerve of arm
T7-T11 - pass between costal slips of diaphragm to anterior abdominal wall to supply muscles and skin and parietal peritoneum.
Typical emerge from their corresponding intervertebral foramen and run posterior of intercostal space.
T/F
The pulmonary trunk transmits oxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
False.
transmits non-oxygenated blood
Match the part of the aorta with the list of branches:
- ascending aorta
- arch of aorta
- thoracic aorta
a. brachiocephalic, L common carotid, L subclavian, and thyroidae ima artery
b. R coronary artery from anterior aortic sinus and L coronary artery arises from L posterior aortic sinus
c. posterior intercostal, subcostal, pericardial, L bronchial, esophagus branches, mediastinal, superior phrenic arteries
- b
- a
- c
What are the 3 aortic fixed points of attachment and why are they important?
aortic valve, ligamentum arteriosum, behind crura of diaphragm
rest of aorta is free from attachment - serious deceleration injuries likely to cause trauma at these fixed points
At the 6th intercostal space, the internal thoracic artery divides into 2 terminal branches: ______ and _______ arteries.
musculophrenic and superior epigastric arteries
How many posterior intercostal arteries are there?
11
The posterior intercostal arteries - 1&2 arteries arise from superior intercostal artery of costocervical trunk of 2nd part of subclavian artery. The lower 9 arteries and subcostal artery arise from _______ _______ aorta.
descending thoracic
Which of the following is not a branch of the posterior intercostal arteries?
a. collateral
b. muscular
c. lateral cutaneous
d. medial cutaneous
d. medial cutaneous
Branches:
collateral, muscular, lateral cutaneous, mammary, and right bronchial artery
Anterior Intercostal arteries:
There are ___ small arteries in each of the ___ spaces.
a. 2, 9
b.2, 11
c. 3, 10
d. 4, 9
a. 2, 9
Anterior intercostal arteries:
The upper 6 intercostal spaces, they are branches from ___________ artery. In the 7-9, they are branches from _______ artery.
internal mammary artery
musculophrenic artery
10-11 have no anterior intercostal arteries because they are incomplete anteriorly
T/F
The posterior intercostal veins are 11 pairs, each runs posteriorly in the costal groove below its artery and nerve.
False.
they run above its artery and nerve.
T/F
The internal thoracic vein terminates at the brachiocephalic vein (left or right).
True
Anterior intercostal veins:
- 2 in each space
- the upper 2 drain into the mammary vein
- 3-6 into vanae commitantes of internal mammary artery
7-9 drain into venar commitantes of _______ artery.
musculophrenic
The right and left brachiocephalic veins are the union of which 2 veins? Where do they terminate?
internal jugular
subclavian veins
Termination: SVC
