Respiratory anatomy Flashcards
location of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve
between the trachea and oesophagus
right vagus nerve
lies on the trachea
right phrenic
lies on SVC
left vagus
lies on the aortic arch
phrenic nerve
lies anterior to lung roots
vagus
posterior to lung roots
blood supply to trachea
inferior thyroid arteries and bronchial arteries
inferior thyroid vein
lymph drainage from trachea
pre and para tracheal nodes
nerve supply of trachea
vagi, reccurent laryngeal and sympathetic trunk
describe the numbers of lung segments
10 in total
3 superior lobe
2 middle or lingual
5 lower lobe
oblique fissure
spine of T4 to rib 6
horizontal fissure
4th intercostal space until it meets the oblique fissure at the mid axillary line
describe the parts of the hilum
bronchi- posterior
pulmonary arteries- anterior superior
pulmonary veins- anterior inferior
pulmonary ligament
allows hilar movement
origin of the right bronchial artery
3rd posterior intercostal artery from the descending aorta
origin of two left bronchial arteries
direct branch from the descending aorta
drainage of bronchial arteries
may anastomose with pulmonary arteries
drains to azygous system
where does the deep lymphatic plexus drain to?
pulmonary nodes, located in the hila
where do the pulmonary nodes drain to?
bronchopulmonary nodes (around the main bronchi)
where do the bronchopulmonary nodes drain to?
inferior and superior tracheobronchial nodes ( around the carina)
where do the tracheabronchial and posterior mediastinal nodes drain to?
paratracheal nodes and bronchomediastinal lymph trunks
where would a chest drain be inserted
just above the rib to avoid damage to NV bundle
what nerve supplies the axilla wall and upper medial part of UL and is at risk in breast surgery
Intercostobrachial Nerve
what dermatomes supple the skin and muscles of the abdo wall
T7- 12
what does the ventral rami of t2-11 make
the intercostal nerves
what is the subcostal nerve made of
T12
runs along the border of the twelfth rib
where may a breast tumour spread to
anterior grp, central grp, apical grp mostly
but also to internal mammary nodes
where does the breast receive its blood supply from
internal thoracic artery
anterior intercostal branches
superior thoracic
thoraco acromonial and lateral thoracic branches of the axillary artery
so most lymph drains to apical nodes
where does thoracic wall lymph drain to
parasternal nodes
intercostal nodes
what veins drain the intercostal spaces
anterior intercostal veins
posterior intercostal veins
(both venae comitantes- int thoracic art and post intercostal art)
what muscles are described here:
lower ribs
posterior
internal surface
subcostales
