Thorax Flashcards
Subclavian artery branches
Vertebral
Internal thoracic
Thyrocervical
Costocervical trunk
Dorsal scapular
Epithlium trachea
Ciliated columnar
Hyaline cartilage
T2
Airway and joints
Elastic cartilage
T2
Ear larynx, eustachian tube
Fibro cartilage
T1
Tendins ligaments IV discs
No pericondrium
Synovial joint
- Covered by hyaline
- Surrounded by capsule
- Joint cavity
- Allows movement
- Surrounded by ligament
- Lined internally synovial membrane
Ribs
1-7 true
8-10 false
11-12 floating
Trachea
From c6 to sternal angle
Inferior thyroid and bronchial arteries
Symp fibres upper ganglia symp trunks
Phrenic
Motor and sensory diaphragm
C4
Behind subclav vein, in front of lung root
Diaphragm tendon on right, muscle on left
Lateral ant and post branches
Azygous
Drains post chest wall
Goes to SVC T4
Formed by the ascending lumbar vein and the right subcostal vein
receives the lower eight posterior intercostal veins
joined by the hemiazygos vein at the T8–T9
passes through the aortic opening of the diaphragm.
Lymph drainage lung
LLL right superior tracheobronchial nodes
Subpleural plexus drains parenchtna and visceral pleura
Eventually venous angle or r lymph duct or l thoracic duct
Embryonic septum transversum
Becomes fibrous pericardium and central tendon of diaphragm
Serratus anterior
Side wall thorax and medial wall axilla
Digitations upper 8 ribs
2nd upper scap, lower 4 lower scap
Supplied by long thoracic C5-7
5 upper 2
6 3rd and 4th
7 rest
Thoracic wall muscles
Inner: innermost IC, transversus thoracicus, subcostal
Middle: internal intercostal
Outer: external IC, serratus posterior inferior and superior, levator costae
Male trachea
1.6-2cm
12cm long
Half intrathoracic
12-20 cartilaginous c shapes with trachealis muscle posteriorly
Innervation parietal lung
Phrenic - med diaphragm and mediastinal
IC - lat diaphragm and costal
Lung fissure surface anatomuly
Oblique - T2 - 6th costal
Horizontal - oblique until 4th rin and costal
Thymus
Arteries: Anterior intercostal
Internal thoracic
Makes t lymphocytes, not active in thymus
Releases thymosin which stimulates maturation lymphocytes other organs
Oesophagus
25cm
C6 to t11
Anterior to prevertebral fascia cervically
Right crossed by azygous
Left crossed aortic arch
Heart border
Right - r 3rd costal to r 6th costal cart

Left - apex to l 2nd costal cart 2cm from sternum
All lower edge

Typical:
Head with 2 articular facets
Neck curving into crest
Shaft
Atypical:
1, 2, 11, 12 and sometimes 10
1 - 1 articular facet, short wide, 2 grooves for vessels
2 - rough oatch for seratus anterior
