47
Protective Tissue Surrounding Brain (3 layers)
Meninges
48
Mediastinum
Central thoracic cavity, between lungs, sternum to vertebral column; first rib to diaphragm; contains all thoracic organs except lungs
49
Diaphragm
Dome shaped muscle; separates thoracic cavity from the abdminopelvic cavity
50
Abdominopelvic Cavity
Diaphragm to groin; 2 "sub"-categories: Abdominal cavity (superior)- stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, small intestines, most of large intestine Pelvic cavity (inferior)- urinary bladder, portion of large intestine, internal organs, reproductive system
51
Viscera
associated with "organ;" organs inside the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
52
Serous Membrane
slippery, double layered membrane that covers the viscera wtihin the thoracic and abdominal cavities; lines walls of thorax and abdomen Composed of: Parietal layer, Visceral layer, serous fluid
53
Parietal Layer
Serous membrane layer; thin epithelium that lines the walls of the cavities
54
Visceral Layer
Serous membrane layer, "organ," thin epithelium that covers and adheres to the viscera within the cavities
55
Serous Fluid
Serous membrane layer, lubricating fluid between the 2 layers; reduces frictions; allows viscera to slide with movement (i.e. Lung inflation and deflation)
56
Pleura
Serous membrane of the pleural cavities Visceral Pleura- clings to surface of the lungs Parietal Pleura- anterior lines chest wall; covers surface of the diaphragm Pleural cavity- serous fluid; between visceral and parietal pleura
57
Pericardium
Serious membranes of the pericardial cavity Visceral Pericardium- covers surface of heart Parietal Pericardium- lines chest wall Pericardial cavity- serous fluid between two above layers
58
Peritoneum
Serous membrane of the abdominal cavity Visceral Peritoneum- covers abdominal viscera Parietal Peritoneum- Lines the abdominal wall; covers the inferior surface on the diaphragm Peritoneal Cavity- Houses "most" of the abdominal organs
59
Retroperitoneal Cavity
Between the parietal peritoneum and posterior abdominal wall Ex. KIDNEYS; adrenal glands, pancreas, duodenum of small intestine, ascending and descending colons of large intestine, PORTIONS OF ABD AORTA, inferior vena cava (IVC)
60
Abdominopelvic Region Divisions
2 horizontal lines and 2 vertical lines Top line- Subcostal line; below rib cage across inferior portion of the stomach Bottom line- Transtubercular line; inferior to top of hip bones R and L Midclavian Lines- through midpoint of clavical, medial to the nipples
61
Abdominopelvic Region Names
See image.

62
Abdominopelvic Quadrants
Lines drawn midsaggital line and transverse (transumbilical) line; both pass through umbilicus

63
Proximal Anastomosis site for a CABG is on what vessel?
Aorta
64
Region Names
Head, Neck, Trunk, Upper Limbs, Lower Limbs
65
How are femoral artery and vein located relative to each other?
Femoral artery is LATERAL to femoral vein
66
Thorax Components
Thoracic Vertebrae (Posterior)
Ribs (Lateral)
Sternum (Anterior)
Costal Cartilage (Anterior)
67
Manubrium
Contains jugular notch at T2 level, Sternoclavicular join on each side of notch/only attachment between upper limb and axial skeleton

68
Sternal Angle
Junction between manubrium and sternal body; can be palpated, 2nd rib articulates here; can feel a depression
Marks: Start and end of aortic arch; tracheal bifurcation into right and left primary bronchi; azygos vein courses over R primary bronchus to SVC; used as a reference for partial sternotomy

69
Sternal Body
Articulates with the 2nd through 7th costal cartilages, the manubrium, and the xiphoid process

70
Xiphoid Process
Shape varies; located at the T9 vertebrae level; articulates with sternal body; linea alba attaches here (connective tissue in the midline of the abdominal wall)

71
Thoracic Rib Cage
12 Thoracic Vertebrae
12 Pairs of Ribs
72
Ribs 1-7
True ribs- attach directly to the sternum via costal cartilage
73
Ribs 8-12
Attach indirectly or not at all
8-10 attach indirectly; join each other with costal cartilage directly above it
74
Ribs 11-12
Floating ribs- have no anterior attachment; embedded in the muscle fo the lateral body wall
75
Costal Groove
Groove between the ridge of the internal surface of the rib and the inferior border

76
Internal Thoracic Artery (IMA/ITA)
Branch from subclavian artery; travels along internal surface of rib cage down lateral to the sternum; one on each side; use as a conduit for CABG procedures

77
Ectopia Cordis
Congenital defect of sternum where the heart is exposed externally

78
Pectus Excavatum
Inward funneling of the sternum; break sternum and reassemble it; replair it becuase it impinges upon function of the heart; now they can use a magnet

79
Flail Chest
Trauma resulting in multiple rib fractures. Chest wall moves freely and paradoxically with respiration
