respiration Flashcards
the rib articulates the body of a thoracic vertebra of the
same number and the one above, costovertebral joints (synovial plane)
the tubercle of the rib articulates with the
transverse process, costotransverse joint (synovial plane)
ribs 7 through to 10 join the xiphisternal joint
through cartilage anteriorly
the right side of the chest wall is drain lymphatic through
the right brachiocephalic vein into the right lymphatic duct
the diaphragm attaches by
the costal cartilage of ribs 7-12
lumbar vertebrae
xiphoid process of the sternum
the right and left crus join by
the right crus by L1-L3
the left crus by L1-L2
what nerve innervates the diaphragm
the phrenic nerve (motor and sensory)
the root values of the phrenic nerve are
C3,C4,C5
diaphragm hiatus for the caval opening is at
T8 for the inferior vena cava and the right phrenic nerve
the oesophageal hiatus is at
T10 and transmits the vagus nerve
the aortic hiatus is between the left and right crus and is at what level
T12, transmits the aorta, azygos, the hemiazygos vein and thoracic duct
the larynx is located at
C3-C6, inervated by the vagus nerve
what sort of joint is the sternoclavicular joint
a synovial hinge
what bones form the thoracic inlet
1st thoracic vertebra, first rib pair and the superior border of the manubrium
which ribs are directly attached to the sternum
1-7
superior to inferior what structures comprise the neurovascular bundle
vein, artery and nerve
what costal cartilages is the diaphragm attached to
ribs 7-12
what part of the sternum is the diaphragm attached to
xiphoid process
what cardiac structure does the diaphragm attach to?
fibrous pericardium
the opening for the inferior cava in the diaphragm occurs at
vertebral level T8
the opening for the oesophagus in the diaphragm occurs at
T10
the opening for the aorta occurs in the diaphragm occurs at
T12
what structure prevents solids form entering the laryngeal inlet
the epiglottis
the name of the final keel shaped cartilage ring at the bifurcation of the trachea is
the carina
what lung surface is the hilum found?
the mediastinal
of the lung root what is more: posterior superior anterior inferior
P- bronchi
S - pulmonary artery
A - superior pulmonary vein
I - inferior pulmonary vein
the veins around the hilum you can find clustered
bronchopulmonary lymph nodes
above the artery in the hilum of the right lung is the
eparterial bronchus
situated below the artery in the hilum of the right lung is
hyparterial bronchus
what plane does the trachea bifurcate
thoracic plane
the midclavicular line can be find along what rib
6
the midaxillary line can be find along what rib
8
the midscapular rib can be found along what rib
10
the oblique fissure follows what rib
6th
the horizontal fissure follows what rib
4rth
the name of the smooth muscle that lines the posterior wall of the trachea
trachealis
the function of the trachealis is
constriction, dilation and stabilisation
what order does the respiratory system go in
trachea, bronchus, segmental bronchus, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles and respiratory bronchioles and finally the alveoli
what epithelium is found in the bronchioles
columnar
what sort of joint is the clavicle and manubrium
synovial hinge
what composes the throat
hyoid bone with the epiglottis then a thyroid cartilage with the laryngeal prominence (adam’s apple), inferiorly their is then the cricoid cartilage followed by the trachea
the midclavicular line is along what rib and the parietal pleura is along what rib?
6th rib and 8th rib
the mid axillary line is along what rib and the parietal pleura is along what rib?
8th rib and 10th rib
the midscapular line is along what rib and the parietal pleura is along what rib
12
