Thorax, Abdomen Flashcards
What is the superior and inferior border of thorax
clavicle to diaphram
what is the superior and inferior border of abdomen
diaphragm to above pelvic brim
thorax vs chest
thorax + scapula = chest
what does the thoracic cage consist of
- sternum
- rib 1-10
- rib 11-12
what are the 3 intercostal muscles
- external
- internal
- innermost
blood supply of the intercostal space
arterial supply: intercostal artery
venous drainage: intercostal vein -> azygous vein -> SVC
at which vertebrae level does the inferior vena cava open at the diaphragm
T8
at which vertebrae level does the esophagus open at the diaphragm
T10
at which vertebrae level does the aorta open at the diaphragm
T12
the area of the diaphragm that the heart lies on is called
central tendon
blood supply to the mammary tissue
subclavian artery -> internal mammary artery / internal costal artery
how does breast cancer occur
- when tumour has penetrated deeper structures
- when attempt to move the breast, it is restricted because the tumour is lodged on the pecs muscle
- between the pecs muscle and the mammary gland, there is loose alveolar tissue that is moveable –> breast is technically moveable until the tumour cell penetrates into deep tissue
space between 2 lungs is called
mediastinum
lungs is covered with
pleural
heart is covered with
pericardium
pleura is covered by cells called
mesothelial cells
how can the mediastinum be divided into
superior
inferior
- anterior
- middle
- posterior
at which vertebral level does the trachea divide into the main bronhi
carina - level T4-T5
at T4 and T5, marks what landmark of the heart
ascending aorta ends
arch of aorta starts
arch of aorta ends
descending aorta starts
at T4 and T5, marks what landmark of the pulmonary system
- carina
- pulmonary trunk splits into right and left pulmonary artery
which part of the mediastinum is the heart located in
inferior, middle mediastinum
how is the parietal pleural further divided
- costal pleural (lines ribs)
- diaphragmatic pleural (lines diaphragm)
- mediastinal pleural (lines mediastinal portion of lungs)
what is included in the hilum of the lung
- bronchi
- pulmonary artery
- pulmonary veins
significance of lung root
- structures passing through the opening (hilum)
- root covered by pleural -> meeting point of the visceral and parietal pleural = pulmonary ligament
- level of T5, T6, T7 vertebrae
what is recess of pleura
- widening of pleural cavity
- folds of parietal pleura which act as reserve spaces for lungs to expand during deep inspiration
what are the 2 pleural recesses
- costodiaphragmatic recess
- costomediastinal recess
3 surfaces of the lungs
- costal surface
- mediastinum surface
- diaphragmatic surface
borders of the lungs
- anterior
- posterior
- inferior
where is the apex of the lung located
2.5cm above clavicle and 4cm above 1st rib
which side of the lungs has how many lobes and fissues
left lung
- 2 lobes (superior and inferior)
- 1 fissure (oblique)
right lung
- 3 lobes (superior, middle, inferior)
- 2 fissures (horizontal, oblique)
differences between the left and right hilum of the lung
right side
1. aparterial bronchus
2. pulmonary artery
3. hyparterial bronchus
4. pulmonary veins
left side
1. pulmonary artery
2. principle bronchus
3. lower pulmonary vein
lung and pleural relation to the rib
lungs
mid clavicle - 6th rib
mid axillary - 8th rib
scapula - 10th rib
pleural
mid clavicle - 8th rib
mid axillary - 10th rib
scapula - 12th rib
2 layers of the pericardium
- fibrous pericardium
- serous pericardium
where is the pericardial cavity
between the visceral and parietal layer in the serous pericardium
sulcus between the atrium and ventricle is called
atrioventricular sulcus
sulcus between 2 ventricles is called
interventricular sulcus
what structures form the base of the heart
right and left atrium
what structure form the apex of the heart
left ventricle
blood supply of the heart
right and left coronary artery
branch of the left coronary artery
anterior interventricular artery (runs through the anterior interventricular sulcus)
circumflex coronary artery (goes around the heart)
