Q

What are the three hiatuses

A

T8 there is a caval opening which cuts through the central tendon allowing the inferior vena cava and right phrenic nerve through.
T10 the oesophageal hiatus cuts through a muscular sling of the right curs allowing the oesophagus and vagus nerve to pass.
T12 the aortic hiatus cuts between the left and right curs allowing the aorta, azygos vein, hemiazygos vein and thoracic duct to pass.

A 
Pulmonary lymph nodes
Bronchopulmonary lymph nodes 
tracheobronchial lymph nodes
Bonchiomediatinal lymph nodes 
Bornchomediatinal lymph trunk
41
Q

Describe the innervation of the pleura of the lungs

A

Visceral - Autonomic nerves (vagus) pain insensitive

Parietal - Somatic (intercostal and phrenic) pain sensitive

42
Q

What are pleural reflections?

A

Places at which the parental pleura changes it direction

43
Q

What are pleural recesses?

A

Increased space between the layers of the pleura occurring at pleural reflections

44
Q

What are the names of the recesses ?

A

Costodiphragmatic and costomediastinal

45
Q

What are the anterior joints of the thorax?

A 
Sternocostal joints (Ribs and sternum). Rib 1 forms a primary cartilaginous joint. 
Xiphisterna joint (body and Xiphoid process)
Manubrial sternal joint (manubrium and sternum) is a primary cartilaginous joint
46
Q

What are the posterior joints of the thorax?

A

Synovial plane joints formed between the articular facets of the ribs and vertebral body. Also called the costovertebral joint.

Synovial plane joint formed between the costal facet on the transverse process of the vertebra and the tubercle of the neck of the rib. Also called the costotransverse joint.

Secondary cartilaginous joint forms the intervertebral joints

47
Q

Describe the arteries of the thorax

A

Descending thoracic aorta branches at each intercostal level to form the posterior intercostal arteries.
Left and right Subclavian arteries have a branch to form the left and right Internal thoracic artery and descends branching at each intercostal level to form the anterior intercostal arteries.
The anterior and posterior intercostal artery anastomose to from one artery.
Some of the chest wall is also supplied by branches of the axillary artery.

Q

What is the conducting portion of the lung?

A 
Nose 
Pharynx 
Larynx 
Trachea 
Bronchi 
Bronchioles

Warms, moistens and cleans the air

57

Respiratory bronchioles
Alveolar ducts
Alveolar sacs
Alveoli

58
Q

Where is the trachea in the body ?

Starts at the larynx

bifurcates at the carina T4

59

A

Mid clavicular line T6
Mid axillary line T8
paravertebral line T10

60
Q

Where does the inferior boarder of the pleura cross what lines?

A

Mid clavicular T8
Mid axillary T10

61
Q

What are the four layers of the airways walls?

A

Mucosa - Epithelium with supporting laminae
Sub mucosa - seromucous glands containing a duct
Cartilage or smooth muscle
Adventitia - Fibrous connective tissue

62
Q

What is the structure of the trachea walls ?

A

Wide flexible tube
Mucous is made up of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium which contains goblet cells which secret mucous.
Lamina propria
Submucosa layer contains seromucous gland which have watery secretions which moisten the airways.
There are C shaped rings of cartilage (20 of them) the gap of which is filled with the trachealis muscle and fibroelastic tissue.
The adventitia layer support and connects it to other structures.

63
Q

What is the structure of the bronchi walls?

A

Mucous is made up of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium which contains goblet cells which release mucous.
lamina propria
Extra smooth muscle layer.
Submucous layer which does still contain some seromucous gland but not as many as the trachea.
Cartilage pates but not rings (decrease in size as you move down)
Adventitia

64
Q

What is the structure of the bronchiole walls?

A

Mucous is made up of ciliated simple columnar epithelium (no cilia in terminal bronchioles) no goblet cells
Sub mucosa no seromucous glands,
Smooth Muscle but no cartilage

65
Q
