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
