Q

Which side of the recurrent laryngeal nerve is more prone to damage in horses?
Why?
What does it cause?

A

Left
Left nerve is longer, due to its extended length around the base of the heart. Also therefore more common in larger horses
Causes ‘roaring’-unable to fully open the larynx, air makes a whistling/roaring noise as it passes through

Q

In which direction do fibres run of the external intercostals run? What is the function of this muscle?
What about internal intercostals?

A

Externals: Caudoventrally. Pull ribs cranially and out during inspiration.

Internals: Caudodorsally. Pull ribs caudally and in during expiration.

26
Q

What would happen if you cut into the parietal pleura of the ribs?
What does this tell you about the pressure inside the pleural cavity?

A

Lungs would immediately recoil and air would rush into the pleural cavity. Ribs would rise up.

Negative pressure; it is below atmospheric pressure

27
Q

What is contained within the mediastinum?

A

Heart, aorta, trachea, tracheal bifurcation, thymus, lymph nodes, oesophagus, vagus nerves, other nerves and vessels

28
Q

What name is given to the portion of mediastinum covering the heart?

A

Pericardial mediastinal pleura

29
Q

The mediastinum can be divided into which 3 parts?

A 
Cranial part (lying cranial to heart)
Middle part (containing the heart)
Caudal part (lying caudal to heart). Thin.
30
Q

Why does the caudal mediastinum deviate to the left?

A

Follows on from the left apex of the heart

31
Q

What does the visceral pleura coat?

What is it derived from?

A

Outer surface of lungs

Splanchnic mesoderm

32
Q

What does the parietal pleura coat?

What is it derived from?

A

Lines the thoracic cavity

Somatic mesoderm

33
Q

What is the pleural cavity?

What does it contain?

A

A potential space between the visceral and parietal pleura in the thorax.
Contains a small amount of serous fluid which allows smooth movement between the lungs and chest walls, and between individual lobes. Also provides surface tension, keeping the lungs close to the thoracic walls. Therefore allows the volume of the lungs to change with the volume of the thoracic cavity

34
Q

Which 3 layers make up the parietal pleura?

A

Mediastinal pleura
Costal pleura
Diaphragmatic pleura

35
Q

What is the phrenicocostal sinus?

What happens to it during inspiration?

A

A potential space in the pleural cavity, at the posterior-most ends of the cavity, located at the junction of the costal pleura and diaphragmatic pleura.
Diaphragm contracts, space gets bigger lungs expand into the space.
Fluid collects here during pleural effusion

36
Q

What is the cupula pleura?

A

Cranially, the costal and mediastinal pleura adjoin to form a ‘dome’ of pleura which extends to the thoracic inlet

37
Q

What is the parietal pleura innervated by?

A

Intercostal nerves

38
Q

What is the visceral pleura innervated by?

A

Vagus nerve and sympathetic fibres

39
Q

What is the cardiac notch?

A

Position of the heart amongst the lungs. Located on the right lung at the fourth and fifth intercostal space. The apex of the notch is continuous with the fissure between the cranial and middle lobes. Right ventricle occupies this area.

40
Q

What is the plica vena cava?

A

A reflection of mediastinal pleura, caudal to the heart, that surrounds the caudal vena cava

41
Q

Which nerve is the origin of the phrenic nerve?

A

C5

42
Q

Which groove is located on the right side of the heart?

What about the left?

A 
Right= subsinusoidal
Left= paraconal
43
Q

What is the name of the membrane that surrounds and protects the heart?

A

Pericardium

44
Q

Which ganglia combine to form the stellate ganglion?

A

Inferior cervical ganglion and first thoracic ganglion

45
Q

What is a ramus?

A

A branch connecting 2 nerves or 2 arteries

46
Q

Why do cattle often remain alive for a few seconds after their throats are cut during halal slaughter?

A

The vertebral arteries are not severed, which supply the brain with blood

47
Q

Are white and grey rami distinguishable?

A

White rami appear more white because they contain more myelinated than unmyelinated fibres, unlike grey rami

48
Q

Where do the right and left subclavian arteries originate?

A 
Right= brachiocephalic trunk 
Left= aortic arch
49
Q

Why are the left and right internal thoracic arteries also called the internal mammary arteries?

A

They give off the cranial and caudal epigastric arteries

50
Q

Which groove can be seen when viewing the heart ventrally (ie looking down at the chest)?
Which chambers can be seen?

A

Paraconal groove. Left side of heart.

Left ventricle, left auricle, right auricle, right ventricle

51
Q

Which vessels empty into the right atrium?

What about the left atrium?

A 
Right= cranial and caudal vena cavae
Left= left and right pulmonary veins
52
Q

Where does the left ventricle pump blood to?

What about the right?

A 
Left= aorta
Right= pulmonary artery
53
Q

What is the mediastinum?

A

The central compartment of the thoracic cavity that contains all structures within the thorax (except the lungs). Enclosed on the left and right by pleurae.

54
Q

Which muscle bridges the gaps between the cartilage rings of the trachea?
Where is it located in cats and dogs?
What about other species?

A

Trachealis
Placed externally
Other species-placed internally

55
Q

Where does the oesophagus lie in relation to the trachea?

A

Dorsally to trachea

56
Q

Where is the trachea positioned in the thorax?

Where does it bifurcate?

A

Cervical part of trachea lies in the median position
Thoracic part crosses the aortic arch, thus its positioning is moved slightly to the right
The trachea bifurcates at the level of the 4th-6th intercostal space

57
Q

What are the 4 heart valves?

A

2 atrioventricular valves: mitral (left) and tricuspid (right)
2 semilunar valves: aortic and pulmonary

58
Q

How many cusps does each heart valve have?

A 
Mitral= 2
Others= 3
59
Q

How are the heart valves anchored to the walls of the ventricles?

A

Chordae tendinae-prevent the valves from inverting. Are attached to papillary muscles

60
Q

What are heart murmurs caused by?

A

Turbulence in the flow of blood through the heart

61
Q

What is the action of sternohyoideus and sternothyroideus?

What are they innervated by?

A

Draw the larynx and tongue caudally
