Superficial structures of the thorax Flashcards
Named pleura
costal, diaphragmatic, mediastinal, visceral
costal pleura
lines ribs
diaphragmatic
lines diaphragm
mediastinal pleura
lines mediastinum
visceral pleura
touches lungs
pericardium
Mediastinal parietal pleura, fibrous pericardium, parietal pericardium, visceral pericardium
surgeons pericardium
aka the pericardium: parietal pericardium, fibrous pericardium, mediastinal parietal pleura
cupula pleura
on both sides of cr mediastinum; where costal pleura reflects back and becomes mediastinal pleura; extends cr to 1st rib on R side
clinical significance cupula pleura
extends beyond 1st rib on R side so if horse injures itself here then it can -> pneumothorax
costodiaphragmatic recess
cd to basal border of lung where costal and diaphragmatic pleura rest against each other
clinical significance costal diaphragmatic recess
try to enter abdominal cavity during expiration where this space is bigger
Lobation of equine lung
less distinct than dogs but R and L cr and cd lobes and R accessory lobe around cd vc; lobes connected by CT after tracheal bifurcation at 5th rib or IC space
location of cardiac notch
divides lung lobes crly and cdly
L cardiac notch
between 3rd and 6th rib
R cardiac notch
between 3rd and 4th IC space
Line of pleural reflection
divides pleural and peritoneal cavity; represents where costal parietal pleura reflects back to become diaphragmatic parietal pleura; closely follows attachements of diaphragm
line of pleural reflection landmarsk
starts 8-9th costal cartilage, curves dorsocaudally along rib cage to 18th rib; reflects cranially to end at 17th IC space
boundaries of basal border of the lung
triangle shape
- one side dorsal along back v to epaxial muscles
- one side line drawn from olecranon to junction scapular cartilage with scapula
- 6, 11 ,16: 6th costochondral junction, middle 11th rib, dorsal extend 16th rib
where to auscult lung field in relation to basal border of lung
3-4cm cr to this line
chambers of the heart
L atria, L ventricle, R atria, R ventricle; separated by AV valves
papillary muscles
muscles located in ventricles heart attach to cusps of AV valves via chord tendinae and contract preventing inversion or prolapse of these valves on systole
chordae tendinae
attach papillary muscles to AV vales
septomarginal bands
help transmit electrical signals down purkinje fibers
atrial surface of the heart
R side, subsinusosal IV groove
Subsinusosal IV groove
on atrial surface (R side) of heart; contains R coronary artery, middle cardiac vein
Auricular surface of the heart
L side; Paraconal IV groove
paraconal IV groove
on auricular surface (L side) of heart; contains L coronary artery and great cardiac vein
sternopericardiac ligament
v large in horse; anchors fibrous pericardium to sternum
