The space overlying the stomach
Traube’s
Space between lungs from inlet ro outlet of thorax is
Mediastinum
Anterior part of the mediastinum is
Parasternal line
Posteriorly mediastinum is at
Vertebral line
What angle separates mediastinum from superior and inferior
Sternal angle
The inferior mediastinum is divided into
Anterior
Middle
Posterior
The heart is in what mediastinum
Middle
The posterior mediastinum is divided into
Paravertebral and prevertebral
What is superior mediastinum called
Cervico mediastinal space
The angle formed by the 10 rib with the costal cartilage is
Costal angle
Sternal angle can be found in what vertebrae
4th and 5th
Areas for auscultation
Aortic area: 2nd intercostal space to the right of the sternum
Pulmoic area: 2nd intercostal muscle to the left of the sternum
Tricuspid area: over the lower - left sternal boarder
Mitral: fifth intercostal space at the midclavicular line
Apex of the heart beat is found on what vertebrae
5th
Each side of the heart has a small wall called…..which leads to a pumping chamber called…:
Atrium
Ventricle
Chambers of the heart includes
Left and right atrium and ventricle
Heart has four valves
The pulmonic valve….receives blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery
The aortic valve… oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the aorta
The tricuspid valve… blood from right atrium to right ventricle
The mitral valve,…. Oxygenated blood from left atrium to left ventricle
Heart has 3 types of tissue
Myocardium….. contract and relax heart
Endocardium… covers the chambers and valves of the heart
Pericardium….. provides support and protection for the heart while reducing friction
What vein is on the right lung
Azygous vein
The lobes are divided by
Fissure
The trachea or windpipe divides into smaller tubes called
Bronchi
Where does lung and blood exchange oxygen and co2 during inhalation and exhalation
Alveoli
Palpation of spleen
Supine
Knee flexed
Right hand with left costal margin and feel gently but firmly for the splenic
The four abdominal quadrants are divided with
Midsagittal plane and transumbillical plane
Palpation of liver
One or two hands down moving 2-3 cm upwards at a time towards the lower coastal margin
To palpate the gall bladder use
Murphys symptom… press the kehrs point while the chid inhanles
Organs in the epigastric region are
Spd
Spleen
Pancreas
Duodenum
Palpation of the epigastric organs
Deep and light palpation
Palpation of pancreas
Grotts method
Palpation of kidney
Left Hands behind the patient btw rib cafe and illiac crest
Right hand below the right costal margin
While pressing firmly ,, patient should take a deep breath
Palpation of rectus abdominis
Supine
Palpate the muscle starting from the xiphoid process and the adjacent ribs going down to the pubis bone
Palpation of transverse abdominis
Crook position
Find the asis and move two incbes towards midline and one inch inferior
