Unit 2 Thoracic wall, pleural cavity and lungs Flashcards
thoracic cage also called
rib cage
floor =
respiratory diaphragm
thoracic inlet also known as
superior aperture
thoracic outlet also known as
inferior aperture
true ribs
1-7
have their own coastal cartilages
false ribs
8-10
indirect attachment to sternum
floating ribs
11 and 12
no sternal attachment
embed in abdominal oblique
three line that makes the thorax
midsternal line
parasternal line
midclavicular line
2 clavicular space
supraclavicular space
infraclavicular space
right lungs
- 3 valves
- 3 cm above clavicle in midclavicular line
- follow inferior along parasternal line to 6th rib
- follow lateral to midclavicular line
- continue laterally to 8th rib and posterity to 10th rib
left lung
2 valves
- 3cm above midclavicualr line
-follow inferior along parasternal line
- follow along the curvature of the heart to the 6th rib (the heart occupies more space on the left side)
- follow lateral to midclavicular line
- continue laterally to 8th ride and posterity to 10th rib
costochondral joint
- sternal end of rib with lateral end of costal cartilage
- Primary cartilaginous (synchondrosis -no movement here)
- strengthened by periosteum surrounding bone and cartilage
dislocation
- rib separation
- usually 3-7 (tends to lift)
sternocostal joint
-costal cartilages with sternum
- primary cartilaginous joint (1st rib)
-synovial plane joint (ribs 2-7)
- strengthened by radiate sternocostal ligaments
costovertebral joint complex
- two joint
- costovertebral joint
- costotransverse joint
- plane / gliding
- strengthened by radiate ligament
costovertebral joint
head of rib with costal facets of vertebrae
cosotransverse joint
tubercle of rib with traverse process of vertebrae
what allows bucket handle movement
middle 1/3 of ribs 7-10 are lower than the sternal or vertebral ends. this allows for movement of the rib to shaft laterally
what allows pump handle movement
elevation of ribs 1-6 move the sternum superiorly and anteriorly
diaphragm
- involuntary and voluntary muscles
- origin: costal part, lumbar part, sternal part
- insertion: central tendon
inn: phrenic nerve (c3-c5) - openings - naval opening, esophageal hiatus, aortic hiatus
costal part
inferior border of the ribs (7-12)
lumbar part
vertebral bodies L1-L3, ALL, arcuate ligament
sternal part
posterior surface of xiphoid process
openings of diaphragm
caval opening
esophageal
hiatus
aortic hiatus
insertion of diaphragm
central tendon
what innervates the diaphragm
phrenic nerve
c3-5
caval opening
IVC, phrenic nerve branches
esophageal hiatus
esophagus
vagal trunks
aortic hiatus
descending aorta
thoracic duct
what keeps the diaphragm alive
C 3,4, and 5 keeps the diaphragm Alvie
