left has a ligament across it that is important as right paracolic gutter has fluid going up & down but in left paracolic gutter fluid doesn’t move up or down

119
Q

WHY IS LINEA ALBA BEST PLACE TO MAKE AN INCISION

A

as it has limited neuronal supply so it is best place to make an incision & not hit any nerves

120
Q

EPITHELIUM OF SKIN

A

keratinised stratified squamous epithelium

121
Q

DIVISIONS OF INFERIOR MEDIASTINUM

A

anterior, posterior & middle mediastinum compartment by pericardium

122
Q

JOB OF A BONE

A
  • provide shape (length + geometric attachments)

- muscle attachment (lever arm + metabolic)

123
Q

MEDIASTINUM DEFINITION

A

A thick partition of tissue at and on either side of the median plane in the thoracic cavity

124
Q

DIAPHRAGM

A
  • separates thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity
  • attachments - (anterior - xyphoid process & costal margin), (anterolateroposterior - ribs), (posterior - lumbar vertebrae)
  • has 3 perforations (t8,10,12) for openings that structures between cavities pass through
  • 8 = IVC, 10 = oesophagus, 12 = aorta
  • attached to lumbar vertebrae by L (l1-2) & R crus (l1-3)
  • motor & sensory innervation is phrenic nerve (formed by C3,4,5 spinal nerves coming together)
  • superior surface is covered diaphragmatic part of parietal pleura
  • inferior surface is parietal peritoneum
  • learn attachments
  • attaches directly to ribs 11 & 12
  • middle of it is central tendon
125
Q

PARTS OF PARIETAL PLEURA

A
  • costal pleura (covers inner aspect of ribs, costal cartilage))
  • diaphragmatic pleura (covers thoracic (superior) surface of the diaphragm)
  • cervical pleura (pops out of thoracic inlet & lines extension of pleural cavity into neck)
  • mediastinal pleura
126
Q

CARDIAC TAMPONADE

A
  • fluid within pericardial cavity

- because the fibrous pericardium is tough, it can’t exert pressure outwards so it exerts it on the heart

127
Q

PERICARDITIS

A

inflammation of pericardium

128
Q

HOLE BETWEEN PEDICLES

A

vertebral foramen

129
Q

JOINT BETWEEN RIB & TRANSVERSE PROCESS

A

costotransverse joint - between tubercle of rib & transverse costal facet of corresponding vertebrae

130
Q

JOINT BETWEEN RIB & VERTEBRAL JOINT

A

costovertebral joint - between head of the rib, the superior costal facet of the corresponding vertebrae, and the inferior costal facet of the vertebrae above

131
Q

RIB FACET STUFF

A
  • typical ribs have 2 articular facets separated by crest & have a tubercle with another facet
  • typical ribs also have a costal groove where the vessels run
  • rib 1 has one facet on head as direct connection to manubrium & has scalene tubercle for muscle to attach to
  • ribs 11 & 12 have only one facet for attachment with bodies of their own vertebrae. they have no tubercles & both ribs are short & are floating as they have no anterior attachment to sternum (that is why they only have one facet)
  • ribs 2 & 7 connect to demi-facets on the sternum (small facets)
  • posterior surface of rib is closest to the costal groove
  • rib has tubercle (which has facets) & vertebrae has demi facets
  • superior facet of rib articulates with inferior demi facet of upper thoracic vertebrae
  • inferior facet of rib articulates with superior demi facet of lower thoracic vertebrae
  • tubercle of rib articulates with transverse process of the thoracic vertebrae
132
Q

LAYERS OF ANTERIOR ABDOMINAL WALL

A

skin -> superficial fascia -> anterior rectus sheath -> rectus abdominis -> posterior rectus sheath -> transversalis fascia -> extraperitoneal fascia -> parietal peritoneum

133
Q

MENINGES NEURONAL INNERVATION

A

somatic sensory from trigeminal nerve

134
Q

NAME OF INNER LAYER OF PERICHONDRIUM

A

chondrogenic layer

135
Q

ATTACHMENTS OF STERNUM BODY

A
  • Articulates with the manubrium superiorly to form the manubriosternal joint.
  • Articulates with the xiphoid process inferiorly to form the xiphisternal joint.
  • Lateral edges of the body are marked by numerous articular facets (cartilage lined depressions in the bone)
  • Articular facets articulate with the costal cartilages of ribs 3-6.
  • There are demifacets (smaller facets) for articulation with parts of the 2nd and 7th ribs
136
Q

ORDER OF VERTEBRAL CANAL SIZE (SMALLEST TO LARGEST)

A

lumbar, sacral, thoracic

137
Q

MUSCULATURE OF STOMACH

A

outer layer is longitudinal muscle layer then circular muscle layer then oblique muscle layer

138
Q

FORAMEN OF WINSLOW

A

opening of lesser sac

139
Q

SUPRACOLIC COMPARTMENT

A
  • Divided into left & right sub-phrenic spaces by coronary ligament
  • Divided into left & right sub-hepatic spaces by falciform ligament
140
Q

CORONARY LIGAMENT

A

connects liver to diaphragm (and skips out bare area of liver)

141
Q

WHAT IS INSIDE OMENTUM

A

Between the two layers of visceral
peritoneum is found fat, peritoneal fluid and
white blood cells

142
Q

REFERRED PAIN

A

pain in diaphragm –> pain in shoulder
