Q

What is the Coelomic cavity? What mature remenants of this will develop?

A

It is the primitive anterior body cavity.

In the thorax it will become pleura. (via the endothoracic fascia)

In the mediastinum it will become the pericardium. (via the endothoracic fascia)

In the abdominal it will become peritoneum (via the transversalis fascia)

Q

For the External Intercostals explain:

  1. The attachments
  2. The Fibre direction
  3. The muscle layer itself
A
  1. They extend (span) from rib tubercles (posteriorly on the rib) to costal cartilage (Anteriorly on the rib), With superior and inferior attachments of the rib above and below. (There are 12 ribs, therefore there are 11 of these INTERcostal muscles)
  2. The fibres slope inferomedially (from anterior view)
  3. Muscle layer is incomplete anteriorly and becomes the external intercostal membrane.

Q

For the Internal Intercostals explain:

  1. The attachments
  2. The Fibre direction
  3. The muscle layer itself
A
  1. Extend from the lateral sternal border (anteriorly) to the costal angles (posteriorly). And as the name suggests, these are intercostal muscles so there are 11 of them spanning from the rib above to the rib below.
  2. Fibres slope inferolaterally (from anterior view)
  3. Muscle layer is incomplete posteriorly and becomes internal intercostal membrane. (will cover the gap created at the posterior margin between costal angle and the vertebrae)

Q

What are the muscles of forced Expiration? (give the SPECIFIC garry answer not the ISAP answer)

A

FIBRE DIRECTION IS KEY:

  • Interosseous (section) internal intercostals
  • Abdominal muscles: Rectus Abdominus, Internal and external obliques and also the transversus abdominus.

WEAKLY aided (but im gonna say it cause garry does mention it in his slides): Transversus thoracis, now this is mainly due to it being active based on the fact it has the same neural recruitment as the abdominals during F.E.

Q

How does the abdominal body wall differ from the thoracic wall?

A

The abdominal wall has less bony support (i.e. no sternum, no ribs), therefore there will be less places for muscles to attach to resulting in muscle layers in the abdomen being thicker and there will be for fascia and aponeuroses.

45
Q

Explain the functions of the thoracic diaphragm. (basic answer)

A

- Containment

- Changes pressure within thoracic and abdominal cavities

- Respiration

- Circulation (helps venous return to the right atrium by loweing the pressue in the thoracic cavity, therefore increasing the pressure in the abdominal cavity resulting in blood wanting to move to a lesser pressure (within the heart)

- Generation of pressure (e.g. Sneezing, Coughing, Crying….)

46
Q

Explain how the thoracic diaphragm helps to create a pressure gradient between the thoracic and abdominal cavities.

A

As the thoracic diaphragm contracts, domes of the diaphragm DESCEND, which will increase the volume of the thoracic cavity and deceases the abdominopelvic cavity resulting in pressure changes to both cavities.
