Respiratory - Anatomy of Coughing - Week 3 Flashcards

1
Q

Explain the mechanism of coughing.

A

Stimulation of mucosa in the respiratory tract, deep inspiration using diaphragm & accessory muscles of inspiration, adduction of vocal chords to close rima glottidis, contraction of the anteroabdominal wall, opening of vocal cords via abduction, soft palate closes off entrance to nasopharynx, cough released

16
Q

Explain how the vocal cords adduct during a cough reflex.

A

Voluntary muscles in the larynx contract due to innervation supplied by somatic motor neurones from the Vagus nerve (CN X)

17
Q

The vagus nerve (CN X) connects with the CNS at…

A

the medulla oblongata

18
Q

The vagus nerve (CN X) passes through the…

A

Jugular foramen

19
Q

The vagus nerve passes down the neck through the…

A

Carotid sheath

20
Q

Explain how the CN X passes down after the carotid sheath.

A

Posterior to the lung root, supplying parasympathetic axons to chest organs & the lungs via the pulmonary plexus. Go on to supply foregut & midgut by passing through the diaphragm on the oesophagus

21
Q

What is the role of contraction of abdominal muscles in the cough reflex?

A

Build up intra-abdominal pressure inferior to the adducted vocal cords

22
Q

The ‘abs’ are called…

A

Rectus abdominus

23
Q

Name the lateral abdominal muscles from superficial to deep.

A

L/R external oblique, L/R internal oblique, L/R transversus abdominus

24
Q

What do the external oblique muscles form on the anterior surface?

A

Aponeurosis (flattened tendon)

25
Q

Where does the external oblique attach?

A

To the ribs superiorly (invaginates with the serratus anterior) then to the iliac crest & the pubic tubercle

26
Q

The point on the external oblique where muscle fibres end and aponeurosis begins is called…

A

Linea Semilunaris

27
Q

What does the internal oblique form at the anterior face?

A

Aponeurosis

28
Q

Where does the internal oblique attach?

A

Inferior border of the ribs, iliac crest, thoracolumbar fascia of the lower back

29
Q

At the anterior face, the transversus abdominus forms…

A

Aponeurosis

30
Q

Where does the transversus abdominus attach?

A

Deep aspect of the lower ribs, iliac crest & thoracolumbar fascia

31
Q

The rectus abdominus is surrounded by…

A

Internal oblique aponeurosis

32
Q

Where do the thoracoabdominal nerves come from?

A

From the 7th to 11th intercostal spaces between the internal oblique and transversus abdominus muscles

33
Q

Which thoracoabdominal nerve is the T12 anterior ramus?

A

Subcostal nerve

34
Q

Which thoracabdominal nerves form part of the anterior ramus of L1?

A

iliohypogastric nerve & ilioinguinal

35
Q

What function of the abdominal muscles helps to maintain posture & support the vertebral column?

A

Tonic (low level) contractions

36
Q

Contractions of abdominal muscles are necessary for…

A

Defecation, micturition, labour
