Q

Describe course of Musculocutaneous nerve

A

Terminal branch of lateral cord of BP (c567)
Emerges at the inferior border of pec Minor
Leaves the axilla and pierces the coracobrachialis muscle near the humerus.
The musculocutaneous nerve passes down the flexor compartment of the upper arm- superficial to brachialis but deep to the biceps brachii.
Then pierces the deep fascia lateral to biceps brachii to emerge LATERAL to Biceps tendon and brachioradialis. Continues to forearm as the lat. cutaneous nerve of forearm

20
Q

Lights Criteria

A

Pleural protein: serum protein > 0.5
Pleural LDH: Serum LDH >0.6
Effusion LDH level greater than 2/3 of the upper range of serum

21
Q

Dukes classification

A

Dukes A Tumour confined to the bowel but not extending beyond it, without nodal metastasis (95%)
Dukes B Tumour invading bowel wall, but without nodal metastasis (75%)
Dukes C Lymph node metastases (50%)
Dukes D Distant metastases (6%)(25% if resectable)

22
Q

Parathyroid Hormone - where is it secreted? What are its actions

A

chief cells of the parathyroid glands.

Acts to increase serum calcium conc.

23
Q

How does PTH act to increase serum calcium concentation?

A

Bone
Binds to osteoblasts which signal to osteoclasts to cause resorption of bone and release calcium.
Kidney
Active reabsorption of calcium and magnesium from the distal convoluted tubule. Decreases reabsorption of phosphate.

Intestine via kidney Increases intestinal calcium absorption by increasing activated vitamin D. Activated vitamin D increases calcium absorption.

24
Q

What are two types of K+ sparing diuetics, how do they work?

A

Amiloride - Epithelial Na channel blocker in DCT, weak diuretic, used with other diuretics (thiazides) as an alternative to k+ replacement

Spirolonolactone - Aldosterone antagonist in DCT

25
Q

How does TXA work?

A

Antifibrinolytic
Inhibits the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin

Plasmin degades fibrin and therefore renders plasmin inactive slows this process
Benefit when adminstered in the first 3 hrs in bleeding trauma

26
Q

What receptors does Adrenaline work on??

A

Low doses - beta adrenergic receptor agonist

Higher doses - Alpha receptor agonist

27
Q

What receptors does Dopamine work on

A

Causes domapine receptor mediated renal and meserteric vascular dilatation and beta 1 receptor agnoism at high doses

28
Q

Dobutamine action receptors?

A

. Dobutamine is a predominantly beta 1 receptor agonist with weak beta 2 and alpha receptor agonist properties.

29
Q

Noradrenaline actioni receptors?

A

Noradrenaline is a catecholamine type agent and predominantly acts as an alpha receptor agonist and serves as a peripheral vasoconstrictor.

30

A

Source: G cells in antrum of the stomach
Stimulus: Distension of stomach, extrinsic nerves
Inhibited by: low antral pH, somatostatin
Action: Increase HCL, pepsinogen and IF secretion, increases gastric motility, trophic effect on gastric mucosa

35
Q

Source Stimulus and Actions of Secretin

A

Source: S cells in upper small intestine
Stimulated by:
Acidic chyme, fatty acids, Increases secretion of bicarbonate-rich fluid from pancreas and hepatic duct cells, decreases gastric acid secretion, trophic effect on pancreatic acinar cells

36
Q

A

Small intestine, pancreas
Neural stimulation
Stimulates secretion by pancreas and intestines, inhibits acid and pepsinogen secretion

37
Q

Source Stimulus and Actions of Somatostatin

A

D cells in the pancreas and stomach
Stimulus: Fat, bile salts and glucose in the intestinal lumen
Action: Decreases acid and pepsin secretion, decreases gastrin secretion, decreases pancreatic enzyme secretion, decreases insulin and glucagon secretion
inhibits trophic effects of gastrin, stimulates gastric mucous production

38
Q

Source Stimulus and Actions of CCK

A

I cells in upper small intestine
Partially digested proteins and triglycerides
Increases secretion of enzyme-rich fluid from pancreas, contraction of gallbladder and relaxation of sphincter of Oddi, decreases gastric emptying, trophic effect on pancreatic acinar cells, induces satiety

39
Q

Sympathetic nervous system - response to surgery

A

1) NA from Sympathetic nerves and adrenaline from adrenal medulla
2) Blood diverted to visceral organs -
Bronchodilation, reduced intestinal motility, increased glucacon and glyogenolysis, insulin reduced.
3) HR and Myocardial contractility are increased

40
Q

Endocrine response- Response to surgery

A

Hypothalamus, Pituitary, adrenal axis
Increased ACTH and cortisol production
Increases protein breakdown
Increases Blood glucose levels
- Aldosterone increases sodium re-absorption
- Vasopression increases water re-absorption and causes vasocontriction

41
Q

Vascular endothelium-

A

Nitric oxcide produces vasodilatiation
Platelet activating factor enhances the cytokine responses
Prostaglandins produce vasodilatation and induce platelet aggregation

42
Q

Factors increasing Anatomical dead space

A

Standing, increased size of person, increased lung volume and drugs causing bronchodilatation e.g. Adrenaline

43
Q

Describe path of Radial Nerve

A

Continuation of posterior cord of the brachial plexus (root values C5 to T1)
n the axilla: lies posterior to the axillary artery on subscapularis, latissimus dorsi and teres major.
Enters the arm between the brachial artery and the long head of triceps (medial to humerus).
Spirals around the posterior surface of the humerus in the groove for the radial nerve.
At the distal third of the lateral border of the humerus it then pierces the intermuscular septum and descends in front of the lateral epicondyle.
At the lateral epicondyle it lies deeply between brachialis and brachioradialis where it then divides into a superficial and deep terminal branch.
Deep branch crosses the supinator to become the posterior interosseous nerve.
