17
Q

Costotransverse Joint Function

A

Allows rotation around axis (bucket handle movement), allows up/down movement of rib

18
Q

What prevents posterior movement of rib

A

Transverse process

19
Q

Minor Inspiration Muscles

A

Intercostals, Serratus Posterior superior, Serratus posterior Inferior, Levator Costarum

20
Q

Diaphragm Attachments

A

S: Inner border of costal margin, posterior abdominal wall, superior lumbar vertebrae
D: Central tendon

21
Q

Diaphragm A/NS

A

A: Increase vertical dimension of throax
NS: Phrenic Nerve (c3-c5)

22
Q

Phrenic Nerve Source

A

C3-C5

23
Q

Passive Mechanisms of Quiet Respiration

A

Elastic recoil of lung when diaphragm relaxed
Visceral contents move superiorly when diaphragm relaxes

24
Q

Three Types of Intercostals

A

External, Internal, Innermost

25
Q

IC Attachments

A

S: Inferior border of superior ribs
I: Superior border of inferior ribs

26
Q

Intercostals A/NS

A

A: Majority of fibres elevate ribs during inspiration
NS: Intercostal nerve

27
Q

Serratus Posterior Superior Function

A

Inspiration/Proprioception

28
Q

Serratus Posterior Inferior Fuction

A

Forced expiration, Proprioception

29
Q

Levator Costarum Fuction

A

Inspiration

30
Q
