Quiz 4 Flashcards
What is the pleurae
2 serous membranes that cover the lungs and line the walls of the thorax
What are the 2 membranes of the pleurae
outer/parietal: attached to the thoracic wall
inner/visceral: connected to the surface of the lungs
What is the pleural cavity/intrapleural space
the space between the visceral and costal pleura
What is the function of the pleural fluid
it fills the pleural cavity
it allows the pleurae to slide effortlessly against each other during ventilation
Why are the left and right pleural sacs separate
if one is punctured, the other lung can continue to function normally
what is the mediastinum
the central compartment of the thoracic cavity
what does the mediastinum contain
the heart the great vessels of the heart esophagus trachea thymus vagus nerves and lymph nodes of the central chest
What are the lobes of the left lung and their parts
- cranial lobe: cranial and caudal parts
- caudal lobe
what are the lobes of the right lung
- cranial
- middle
- caudal
- accessory
what is special about the accessory lobe
the vena cava and esophagus impression
what is the cardiac notch?
the RV location for cardiac puncture
between the 4th and 5th rib, needle can be directed into the heart without piercing lung tissue
What are the veins cranial to the heart
cranial vena cava
brachiocephalic
what are the arteries cranial to the heart
aorta, ascending aortic arch
what are the next branches of the brachiocephalic vein
- external jugular
- subclavian
what are the branches off of the aortic arch
- brachiocephalic trunk
- left subclavian artery
What are the branches off of the brachiocephalic trunk
- right subclavian artery
- right and left common carotid
what are the branches off of the left subclavian artery
VECISA
- vertebral artery
- costocervical trunk
- internal thoracic artery
- superficial cervical artery
- axillary artery
what is the azygos
the last vein entering the cranial vena cava
- only develops on the right side
- collects all of the dorsal intercostal veins
what is the thoracic duct
collects the lymph drainage from viscera, pelvic limbs, left thoracic limb and left tracheal trunk
it drains into the left brachiocephalic vein
what is the right lymphatic duct
collects lymph drainage from the right thoracic limb and tracheal trunk
it drains into the right brachiocephalic vein
Where are the venipuncture sites in dogs
- cephalic vein
- external jugular vein
what follows the cephalic vein
cephalic vein
axillobrachial vein
omobrachial vein
external jugular vein
what is the lymphatic system responsible for
to keep the interstitial tissue free of
- toxins,
- cellular waste,
- bacteria,
- infections,
what happens if the lymphatic system is not cleaning itself properly
other immune systems often become compromised
what is the function of the thoracic duct
to be the chief channel for return of lymph into the body
what are the 2 systems of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)
sympathetic/thoracolumbar division
parasympathetic/craniosacral division
what is a ganglion
a group of neural bodies outside the brain
what is the origin of the sympathetic trunk
cranial cervical ganglion
what surrounds the left subclavian artery
- ansa subclavia
- middle cervical ganglion
- cervicothoracic ganglion
what is ramus communicans
branches of communication between the each spinal nerve and sympathetic trunk
what is the role of the ansa subclavia
to communicate with the cervicothoracic ganglion
where is the middle cervical ganglion
at the widening of the sympathetic trunk
What are the autonomic sympathetic ganglia
- cranial cervical ganglion
- middle cervical ganglion
- cervicothoracic ganglion
- left celiac ganglion
- renal and gonadal ganglia
- cranial mesenteric ganglion
- caudal mesenteric ganglion
- pelvic ganglia in plexus
which are the prevertebral ganglia and where are they found
caudal to the diaphragm
- left celiac ganglion
- cranial mesenteric ganglion
- renal and gonadal ganglia
- causal mesenteric ganglion
steps of the nerve pathways
origin preganglionic pathway ganglion postganglionic pathway target organs
what is the origin of the sympathetic pathway in the pelvic viscera
lumbar segments L1-L3
what is the preganglionic pathway of the sympathetic pathway in the pelvic viscera
ventral root spinal nerve ramus communicans sympathetic trunk lumbar splanchnic nerve caudal mesenteric
what is the ganglion of the sympathetic pathway in the pelvic viscera
caudal mesenteric ganglion
also some pelvic ganglia
what is the postganglionic pathway of the sympathetic pathway in the pelvic viscera
left or right hypogastic nerve to the pelvic plexus
branches to pelvic viscera from the pelvic plexus
what are the target organs of the sympathetic pathway in the pelvic viscera
smooth muscle and glands associated with pelvic viscera - urinary tract - genitalia - rectum - anal canal blood vessel smooth muscle
what is the origin of the parasympathetic pathway in the pelvic viscera
sacral segments (S1-S3) of the canine spinal cord
what is the preganglionic pathway of the parasympathetic pathway in the pelvic viscera
ventral root spinal nerve ventral primary branch lumbosacral nerve plexus pelvic nerve pelvic plexus
what is the ganglion of the parasympathetic pathway in the pelvic viscera
pelvic ganglia
also some in terminal ganglia
what is the postganglionic pathway of the parasympathetic pathway in the pelvic viscera
direct branches from pelvic plexus to pelvic viscera
what are the target organs of the parasympathetic pathway in the pelvic viscera
smooth muscle and glands associated with pelvic viscera - urinary tract - genitalia - descending colon - rectum - anal canal blood vessels to penis/clitoris
regions in the CNS where sympathetic and parasympathetic come from
sympathetic: from the thoracolumbar region
parasympathetic: from the craniosacral region
location in ganglia of sympathetic and parasympathetic
sympathetic: close to spinal cord in a chain
parasympathetic: close to target organs
differing lengths of postganglionic fibers of sympathetic and parasympathetic
sympathetic: long
parasympathetic: short
postganglionic branching of sympathetic and parasympathetic
sympathetic: lots, so that multiple organs can be mobilized at once
parasympathetic: very little branching
effect of sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation on the heart
sympathetic: increase heart rate, increase force of contraction of whole heart
parasympathetic: decreased rate, decreased force of contraction of whole heart
effect of sympa and parasympa stimulation on blood vessels
sympa: constriction
parasympa: dilation of vessels supplying the penis and clitoris only
effect of sympa and parasympa stimulation on lungs
sympa: dilation of bronchioles (airways), inhibition of mucus secretion
parasympa: constriction of bronchioles, stimulation of mucus secretion
effect of sympa and parasympa stimulation on digestive tract
sympa: decreased motility (movement), contraction of sphincters (to prevent forward movement of contents), inhibition of digestive secretions
parasympa: increased motility, relaxation of sphincters (permit forward movement of contents), stimulation of digestive secretions
effect of sympa and parasympa stimulation on urinary bladder
sympa: relaxation
parasympa: contraction (emptying)
effect of sympa and parasympa stimulation on eye
sympa: dilation of pupil, adjustment of eye for far vision
parasympa: contraction of pupil, adjustment of eye for near vision
effect of sympa and parasympa stimultion on liver (glycogen stores)
sympa: glycogenolysis (glucose released)
parasympa: none
effect of sympa and parasympa stimulation on adipose cells (fat stores)
sympa: lipolysis (fatty acids released)
parasympa: none
