Q

Defining characteristics of T vertebra 1) 2)

A

1) Facets on body and transverse processes for ribs. 2) Long, almost vertical spinous process 3) Body has articular facets for ribs on posterolateral superior and inferior surfaces.

26
Q

How do ribs join to vertebrae?

A

Join two adjacent vertebrae.

27
Q

Name for joints between ribs and vertebrae

A

Costovertebral joints and costotransverse joints

28
Q

Which parts of vertebrae do ribs attach to?

A

To body at costovertebral joints. To transverse processes at costotransverse joints.

29
Q

Costotransverse joints

A

Ribs join transverse process with a three-part costotransverse ligament

30
Q

Can ribs be dislocated from vertebral column?

A

No. Rib will break before costotransverse or costovertebral joints break

31
Q

Locations of apertures of thorax 1) 2)

A

1) Superior aperture is bounded by rib 1. 2) Inferior aperture is bounded by rib 12 posteriorally, rib 11 and 12 laterally, costal cartilage of ribs 7-10 anteriorally, xiphoid body.

32
Q

Superior aperture of thorax 1) 2) 3)

A

1) Bounded by rib 1. Runs around interior aspect of rib 1. 2) Covered by supra-pleural membrane (or Sibson’s fascia) 3) There is an opening for airways, etc.

33
Q

Inferior aperture of thorax 1) 2)

A

1) Bounded by diaphragm.
2) Lateral and medial arcurate ligaments are posterior baoundaries.
3) Bounded laterally by ribs 11 and 12.
4) Bounded anteriorally by costal cartillage of ribs 7-10, and xiphoid process

34
Q

Lateral and medial arcurate ligaments 1) 2) 3)

A

1) In inferior aperture of thorax. 2) Lateral arcurate ligament overlies quadratus lumborum 3) Medial arcurate ligament overlies psoas

35
Q

Diaphragm anatomical delineation 1) 2) 3)

A

1) Posterior - Rib 12 2) Lateral - Rib 11 and 12 3) Anterior - Costal cartilage of ribs 7-10

36
Q

How does the diaphragm attach to vertebrae?

A

With right and left cruses. Right crus joins to L1, L2, L3. Left crus joins to L1, L2

37
Q

Origin and insertion of diaphragm

A

Circumferential origin. Central insertion.

38
Q
A
39
Q

Shape of diaphragm

A

Two domes. Right dome is higher than left

40
Q

Objects passing through diaphragm 1) 2) 3)

A

1) Oesophagus passes through muscular diaphragm, about at midline at T10. 2) IVC passes through central tendon right of midline at T8 3) Aorta passes behind diaphragm between crura at T12, slightly left of midline

41
Q

Vertebra where oesophagus passes through diaphragm

A

T10

42
Q

Vertebra where IVC passes through diaphragm

A

T8

43
Q

Vertebra where aorta passes behind diaphragm

A

T12

44
Q

Innervation of diaphragm

A

Left and right phrenic nerves innervate respective domes of diaphragm

45
Q

Layers of intercostal muscles

A

1) External intercostal 2) Internal intercostal 3) Innermost intercostal

46
Q

Direction of muscle fibres in external intercostal muscle

A

Downwards, forwards (‘front pocket muscles’)

47
Q

Function of external intercostal muscles

A

When contract, elevate and expand ribcage. Involved in inspiration.

48
Q

Makeup of external intercostal muscles

A

Muscle on posterior and lateral aspects. Intercostal membrane on anterior aspect

49
Q

Direction of muscle fibres in internal intercostal muscles

A

Downwards, outwards (‘back pocket muscles’)

50
Q

Makeup of internal intercostal muscles

A

Anterior, lateral aspects are muscular. Posterior aspect is intercostal membrane

51
Q

Function of internal intercostal muscles

A

Stabilise ribs during movement

52
Q

Direction of muscle fibres in innermost intercostal muscles

A

Downwards

53
Q

Distribution of innermost intercostal muscles

A

Mostly lateral. Some on posterior and anterior, but not many

54
Q

Where does neurovascular bundle in costal groove run relative to intercostal muscles?

A

Lies between internal and innermost intercostal muscles

55
Q

What does the neurovsacular bundle in costal groove supply?

A

Supplies rib inferior to rib in which groove runs. Can have collateral branches to supply superior rib (these are smaller than main branch)

56
Q

When inserting an intercostal needle, where do you insert it?

A

At inferior part of intercostal space. Better to hit smaller, less vital collateral branches of neurovascular bundle than main neurovascular bundle (which is at the superior part)

57
Q

Innervation of ribs

A

Anterior ramus of thoracic spinal nerve becomes intercostal nerve. Intercostal nerve innervates anterior skin, collateral nerves supply posterior and lateral skin.

58
Q

Dimensions of thorax that change during inspiration

A

Vertical, lateral, anterior-posterior directions

59
Q

Muscles of respiration

A

Any muscle attaching to ribs can potentially affect respiration. (EG: sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, abdominal muscles)

60
Q

How can anterior-posterior dimensions of thorax be changed?

A

Elevate upper 7 ribs.
