Q

Thymus growth in cattle

A

Both the cervical and thoracic portions grow rapidly in first 6-9 mos. then regress variably, thoracic portion may still be large in animals several yrs old

21
Q

What is the significance of the proximity of the caudal mediastinal ln to the vagus n.?

A

They can compress the nerve; since the vagus innervates the esophagus and rumen, this can result in GI problems

22
Q

Parasympathetic nn. branching from the vagus n.

A

Dorsal branches from left and right vagus (form dorsal vagal trunk)
Ventral branches from left and right vagus (form ventral vagal trunk)
Recurrent laryngeal n.

23
Q

Where can the recurrent laryngeal n. be seen from the right and left sides?

A

Left - leaves vagus and courses around aortic arch

Right - courses around right subclavian a.

24
Q

Sympathetic structures of the thorax

A

Sympathetic trunk and ganglion
Cervicothoracic ganglion
Middle cervical ganglion
-ansa subclavia *connects cervicothoracic and middle cervical ganglia
Vertebral nn. - sympathetic contribution to cervical spinal nn.

25
Q

Cardiac nn. are sympathetic or parasympathetic?

A

Both

26
Q

Which nn. make up the phrenic n.? Which m. does the phrenic cross?

A

C5, C6, C7; scalenus, then enters thoracic inlet

27
Q

Which nn. make up the brachial plexus? Out of which m. do they emerge?

A

C6, C7, C8, T1, T2; scalenus

28
Q

At what level does the trachea bifurcate in the horse? Is it dorsal or ventral to the esophagus?

A

T5 or T6; ventral to esophagus

29
Q

At what level does the trachea bifurcate in cattle? At what level is the tracheal bronchus?

A

T5; T3

30
Q

Which vessels provide functional supply to the lungs? Nutritional supply?

A

Functional - left and right pulmonary aa.

Nutritional - bronchoesophageal a.

31
Q

Equine lung lobes

A

Left - cranial, caudal

Right - cranial, caudal, accessory

32
Q

What are the cardiac notches and where are they located on each side?

A

Allow pericardium contact with chest wall, approximate division between cranial and caudal lobes
Left - ribs 3-6
Right - ribs 3-4

33
Q

Ruminant lung lobes

A

Left - cranial (cranial part, caudal part), caudal

Right - cranial, middle, caudal, accessory

34
Q

Where are the cardiac notches located on each side in ruminants?

A

Left - ribs 3-5

Right - ribs 3-4

35
Q

The tracheal bronchus supplies which lobe (ruminants only)?

A

Right cranial lobe

36
Q

The basal border of the lungs, which contacts the diaphragm, is located where in the horse?

A

Costochondral junction of 6th rib
Middle of 11th rib
Dorsal part of 16th rib
(6, 11, 16)

37
Q

Borders of the lung field (auscultation triangle) in the horse

A

Cranial border - caudal aspect of triceps
Dorsal border - lateral edge of back mm.
Ventral border - basal border of lung (6, 11, 16)

38
Q

What is different about the auscultation triangle in cattle?

A

The ventral border (basal border of the lung) is the 6th costochondral junction to the dorsal 11th rib (6, 11).

39
Q

Costodiaphragmatic recess

A

Potential space where costal and peripheral part of diaphragmatic pleura contact

40
Q

Cupula pleurae

A

Outpouching of pleura on medial side of right 1st rib, extending several cm. in the neck

41
Q

Line of pleural reflection and location

A

Reflection of the costal pleura onto the diaphragm; costochondral junction of ribs 8-9, curves caudally and dorsally from costochondral junctions of succeeding ribs to vertebral end of rib 17

42
Q

What is different about the line of pleural reflection in ruminants?

A

It starts at the 8th costochondral junction, to the mid 11th rib, and ends at rib 12

43
Q

Site for thoracocentesis in the horse

A

7th IC space low

44
Q
