Q

T8: opening, and structures

A

caval opening, IVC, branches of right phrenic nerve, lymphatics from liver

22
Q

T10: opening, and structures

A

Esophageal hiatus

esophagus, anterior/posterior vagal trunks, esophageal branches of left gastric a.

23
Q

T12: opening, structures

A

aortic hiatus, aorta, thoracic duct

azygous vein

24
Q

sternocostal hiatus

A

superior epigastric vessels

25
Q

arcuate ligaments: name them

A

median, medial, lateral

26
Q

arcuate ligaments form what posterior structures?

A

Median arcuate lig: aortic hiatus
medial arcuate lig: gap for psoas maj.
lateral arcuate lig: gap for quadratus lumborum

27
Q

Parasternal hernias

A

sternocostal triangle

located between sternal and costal parts of diaphragm

28
Q

Pleuroperitoneal hernias

A

lunbocostal triangle

located between 12 rib and diaphragm

29
Q

this hernia occurs between the sternal and costal parts of the diaphragm

A

parasternal, in the sterncostal triangle

30
Q

this hernia occurs between the 12th rib and the diaphragm

A

pleuroperitoneal hernias

31
Q

congenital diaphragmatic hernia

A

failure of pleuroperitoneal membranes to fuse with other components of the diaphragm

32
Q

Respiratory distress and cyanosis in the first minutes or hours of life

A

congenital diaphragmatic hernia
unusually flat abdomen

usually occurs within the first hour of life

33
Q

Hiatal hernia

A

occurs through esophageal hiatus into mediastinum, 2 kinds: sliding and paraesophageal

34
Q

Sliding hernia

A

abdominal esophagus, cardia, and fundus of the stomach slide superiorly into the thorax

some regurgitation of gastric content may occur

35
Q

Paraesophageal hernia

A

cardia remains in position, but the fundus extends through the hiatus , usually no regurgitation.

36
Q

Blood supply to diaphragm: superior surface

A

pericardiacophrenic A
musculophrenic A
superior phrenic A

37
Q

Blood supply to diaphragm: inferior surface

A

inferior phrenic A
R: passes posterior to IVC
L: passes posterior to esophagus

38
Q

Innervation of diaphragm: motor

A

MOTOR: C3,4,5 keeps the diaphragm alive- only motor innervation. some branches run with phrenic A

39
Q

Innervation of diaphragm: sensory

A

the central tendon (central part)- phrenic n.

peripheral portion: intercostal n.

40
Q

Lymphatics: basic reminder

A

thoracic duct drains 3/4 of body + left side of upper extremities

41
Q

Lymphatics: superior surface

A

Anterior diaphragmatic nodes —> parasternal nodes

42
Q

Lymphatics: posterior surface

A

Posterior diaphragmatic nodes –> mediastinal nodes

43
Q

Lymphatics: inferior surface

A

celiac nodes

superior lumbar nodes

44
Q

where is the cisterna chyle?

A

behind (roughly) the superior mesenteric plexus

45
Q

Lower Extremity, Perineum, Gluteal region: lymphatic must travel

A

through the abdomen —> thoracic duct (L1/L2)

46
Q

Body wall: lymphatics must travel

A

to the lumbar lymph trunks —> thoracic duct (L1/L2)

47
Q

GI tracts: lymphatics must travel

A

enters intestinal lymph trunks —> thoracic duct (L1/L2)

48

52
Q

cisterna chyli

A

collects lymph from intestinal lymphatic trunk and lumbar lymphatic trunks
