Q

what is being articulated in the interchondral joint?

what type of joint is that?

A

between the costal cartilages of the false ribs

uniquely synovial joints

24
Q

what components form the sternum

A

Manubrium
Body
Xiphoid Process

25
Q

what created the infrasteral angle?

A

manubriosternal joint

26
Q

what are the junctions present in the sternum and where are they present (range)

A

manubriosternal joint (TIV/TV)

Xiphisternal joint (TIX)

27
Q

what is the fiber direction of the external intercostal muscles?

A

they are located on the anterior side and pointing downwards (inferior)

28
Q

what is the fiber direction of the internal intercostal muscles?

A

they are located on the anterior side and pointing upwards (superior)

29
Q

what is the fiber direction of the innermost intercostal muscles?

A

they are located on the anterior side and pointing upwards (superior)

30
Q

where are the transversus thoracis muscles located?

A

located between the body of the sternum and the xiphoid process to ribs II-VI

31
Q

why is the right dome of the diaphragm more elevated than its left side?
at what rib does this elevation/deleveling occur?

A

because on the right side, is where the liver is located causing for a elevation of the diaphragm

32
Q

what is the mneumonic to recall diaphragm innervation?

A

C3-C4-C5 keeps the neck alive

33
Q

what are the nerves that innervate the diaphragm?

why is it not just one nerve?

A
  • right phrenic nerve
  • left phrenic nerve
  • the reason that their are 2 nerves is to allow that if one of them is damaged the diaphragm can continue to fonction partly, as it is a crucial part of respiration
34
Q

what is the primary muscle that partakes in resting respiration?

A

the diaphragm

35
Q

what happens during inhalation?

A

-the contraction causes for an increase in the volume of the thoracic cavity in the superior to inferior axis

36
Q

what does the diaphragm consist of?

A

it consists of a right and left dome that joins centrally by the central tendon.

37
Q

what happens during forced breathing?

A

during forced inspiration: movement of external intercostal causes an increase in volume
forced expiration moves internal intercostals and decreases volume of the diaphragm
forced respiration will also recruit innermost intercostal muscles and transversus thoracis

38
Q

in cases of dyspnea what other muscles may be recruited for respiration?

A
  • scalenes,
  • serratus posterior superior
  • serratus posterior inferior
39
Q

how is a test tube placement executed?

A

when proceding, must go to the rib inferior to the nerve and on the superior rige of that rib insert chest tube to avoir dammage of main intercostal nerve

40
Q

in what order are the nerve, vein and artery positioned relative to the rib? why?

A

the vein is the most superficial, followed by the artery and lastly the nerve is the deepest.
its a matter of survival and functions of the respective components . a damaged nerve is much more severe than a damaged vein generally speaking.

41
Q

what are the main thoracic arteries

A
  • internal thoracic artery
  • subclavian artery
  • anterior intercostal artery
  • internal thoracic mamary artery
  • posterior intercostal arteries
  • musculophrenic artery
  • superior epigastric artery
  • thoracic aorta
42
Q

how many pairs of intercostal arteries are there?

A

11 pairs

43
Q

where do the anterior intercostal artery arise from?

A

they arise from the internal Thoracic Artery (first 6-7 intercostal spaces)
and the musculophrenic artery (remaining inferior intercostal space)

44
Q

what is the terminal branch of the internal thoracic artery?

A

the musculophrenic artery

45
Q

what arteries arise from the thoracic aorta?

A

posterior intercostal arteries

46
Q

where do the subcostal arteries arise from?

A

from the aorta

47
Q

where do the subcostal arteries travel along?

A

they travel along the inferior border of rib XII

48
Q

what is an anastomoses?

where does such occur?

A

it is the junction between 2 blood vessels.

such junction occurs between the anterior and posterior intercostal arteries

49
Q

how many pairs of intercostal veins are there?

A

11 pairs

50
Q

which vein drains into the internal thoracic vein from the frist 6-7 intercostal spaces & in the muscolphrenic veins?

A

the anterior intercostal veins

51
Q

what vein drains into the internal thoracic vein (continuously)

A

musculophrenic vein

52
Q

what vein drains into the brachiocephalic veins and into the SVC and the

A

the internal thoracic vein

53
Q

where does the left posterior intercostal vein drain off?

A

it drains into the hemiazygos vein then to the azygos vein which drains to the svc and then the heart

54
Q

where does the right posterior intercostal vein drain off?

A

drains into the azygos vein then the svc and then the heart

55
Q

where does the subcostal vein travel and where does it drain off?

A

it travels along rib 12, drains into the azygos vein on the right side of the body and the hemiazygos vein on the left side of the body
