Which thoracic vertebrae are typical?
T2-T8
Which ribs are typical
3-9
Intervertebral Joint
Secondary cartilaginous, articulations are the superior and inferior facets of the vertebrae
Costovertebral Joint
synovial plane, head of ribs and bodies of the thoracic vertebrae
Costotransvere Joint
synovial plane, facet of rib tubercles and transverse vertebral processses
Sternocostal Joint
synovial plane (synchondrosis for 1st), rib and sternal body
Sternoclavicular Joint
synovial plane, medial clavicle and manubrium
Costochondral Joint
primary cartilaginous, ribs and costal cartilage
Interchondral Joint
synovial, (6th-10th rib cartilages)
Manubriosternal Joint
secondary cartilaginous, manubrium and sternal body
Xiphisternal Joint
primary cartilaginous, sternal body and xiphoid process
What does the internal thoracic artery supply
anterior chest wall and breasts
Where does the internal thoracic artery arise from
the subclavian artery
Where are intercostal nerves made from
The ventral rami of thoracic spinal nerves
What is shingles caused by
human herpesvirus-3 (hhv-3)
What passes through diaphragm at T8
Caval opening- IVC, right phrenic nerve
What passes through diaphragm at T10
Oesophageal hiatus- oesophagus, anterior and posterior vagal trunks. Passes through left of central tendon
What passes through diaphragm at T12
Aortic hiatus- aorta, azygous vein, thoracic duct, L + R splanchnic nerves. Passes behind diaphragm
Proportions of diaphragmatic Hernia’s
85% posterolateral, 5% anterior (Morgani’s)
Acquired hernias
adjacent to oesophageal opening, associated with symptoms of acid reflux
Parietal Pleura innervation
somatic, by intercostal and phrenic nerves
Visceral Pleura innervation
autonomic innervation
Mesothelioma
SOB from reduction of space for lung to expand, compression by tumour and fluid. Asbestos major RF
Tension Pneumothorax
Injury to chest wall, acts like a valve. Air drawn in on inspiration and can’t escape. Mediastinal shift away from injury, IVC can become compressed.
Tension Pneumothorax decompression
large needle into midclavicular 2nd intercostal space, later chest drain to midaxillary 5th intercostal space. Insertions along superior borders of ribs
Bones of nasal cavity
ethmoid, vomer, lacrimal, palatine, maxillary
Nasal Septum
perpendicular plate of the ethmoid, vomer and septal cartilage
Paranasal sinuses
frontal, sphenoid, maxillary and ethmoid
