paralysis of the lower lip is damage of what nerve
marginal mandibular branch of CNVII
what are the pleural reflections
abrupt lines along which the PARIETAL pleura change direction as it passes from one wall to the other
what are the 3 pleural reflections
sternal
costal
vertebral/diaphragmatic
where are the pleural reflections at the sternal line on the right and the left
right - level of 6th costal cartilage
left - level of 4th costal cartilage
how do the vagus nerves enter the superior mediastinum
posterior to their respective sternoclavicular joint and braciocephalic veins
describe the route of the right vagus nerve in the mediastinum
Runs posteriorinferiorly through the superior mediastinum on the right side of the trachea
Passes posterior to the right brachiocephalic vein, SVC and root of right lung
divides into branches to contribute to the right pulmonary plexus
what happens the right vagus nerve after it has contributed to the right pulmonary plexus
leaves as a single nerve
passes to the oesophagus to contribute to the oesophageal plexus
also contributes to the cardiac plexus
how does the left phrenic nerve enter the superior mediastinum
between the subclavian artery and brachiocephalic vein
describe the route of the right phrenic nerve
passes along the RIGHT side of the right brachiocephalic vein, SVC, pericardium of right atrium
passes ANTERIOR to the root of the right lung
descends on the right side of the IVC to the diaphragm
what are subarachnoid cisterns
openings in the subarachnoid space
created by separation of the arachnoid and pia mater
contain CSF and soft tissue structures that anchor the brain
what is the largest subarachnoid cistern
cerebellomedullary
receives CSF from 4th ventricle
location of the ambient subarachnoid cistern
on the lateral aspect of the midbrain
continuous posteriorly with the quadrageminal cistern
where is the Chiasmatic subarachnoid cistern
inferior and anterior to the optic chiasm
which cistern contains parts of the great cerebral vein
Quadrigeminal cistern
name the 5 subarachnoid cisterns
Cerebellomedullary (largest)
Pontocerebellar
Chiasmatic
Quadrigeminal (contains great cerebral vein)
Ambient
examples of hyaline cartilage
costal
nasal
tracheobronchial
laryngeal
articular cartilage of typical synovial joints
epiphyseal growth plates
what type of cartilage is hyaline cartilage
found at joint surfaces
a pearly bluish colour with firm consistency and considerable collagen
no nerves or blood vessels
covered by a fibrous membrane called perichondrium
examples of fibrocartilage
knee menisci
intervertbral discs
glenoid labrum
articular surface of clavicle
In relation to bone what is the periostium
a thick layer of vascular fibrous tissue that covers the outer surface of the bone
nutrition of the bone depends on the integrity of the periostiums blood vessels
does not cover articulating surfaces of the bone
what is cancellous bone capable of
rearrangement in response to strain
it is spongy bone
describe and give and example of secondary cartilaginous joints
strong, slightly moveable joints
united by fibrocartilage
eg intervertebral discs
myotome for plantar flexion
S1/S2
shoulder abduction myotome
C5
myotome elbow extension
C6/C7
