25
name the potential space in the pulral cavity and location.
costodiaphragmatic recess. inferior plural cavity
26
right lung differs from the left lung how? outline 2 differences on the
horizontal fissure middle lobe
27
name the arteries/ veins/ bronchial of left and right lung
bronchiloes/ pulmonary artery/ pulmonary vein
28
Phrenic Nerve: is made up from
**anterior rami** of ther cerival spinal nerves C3/4/5
29
where is the phrenic nerve found
anterior surface of the scalenus anterior muscle
30
what region does the phereic nerve descend ? what is its function?
Lateral aspect of the heart supply motor and sensory fibers to the skeletal muscles of the diaphragm
31
inspiration motion describe it?
1. Diaphragm contracts and descends - Increases vertical chest dimension 2. Intercostal muscles contract elevating ribs - Increases A-P and lateral chest dimensions 3. The chest walls pull the lungs outwards with them (pleura) - Air flows into the lungs
32
Expiration describe it:
1. Diaphragm relaxes and rises - Decreases vertical thoracic dimension 2. Intercostal muscles relax lowering ribs - Decreases A-P and lateral chest dimensions 3. Elastic tissue of lungs recoils - Air flows out of lungs
33
which mucles help with forced inspiration (disease/ high altitude training) by increasing the dimensions of the chest cavity.?
pectoralis major/ minor sternocleidomastoid scalene muslce internal intercostal muscle
34
what are the accessory muscles of expiration
rectus abdominus
35
Pneumothorax can happen in 2 ways describe them?
1. Air in thepleural cavity due to injury leading to a tear in the parietal pleura.. loss of vaccum leads to lung collapse as elastic recoil 2. Repture of lung tissue- tear in he visceral pleura leading to loss of vaccum and lung collapsing.
36
describe the picture by labling the following: Trachea Bifurcation of right/ left bronchus lobar bronchi alveoli
37
Where does the trachea bifuracate
Sternal angle.
38
The key features of the right main bronchus are? These could result in...
- Wider, shorter, more vertical - forgein objects being inhaled.
39
name the area this is situated between the lungs
mediastinum
40
2 Sections to the mediastinum: then state where the heart sits
1. Superior 2. inferior * anterior * middle (Heart sits here * posterior
41
What is ther pericardium? how many layers does it have and their functions?
**Sac surounding the heart** 1. **fibrous** * thick/ protective layer * prevents overfilling 2. **serous** * deep layer secretes serous fluid *
42
what is haemopericardium?
**filling up** of the **pericardial cavity-** leading to an **increase in pressure.** ## Footnote **Preventing cardiac contraction or cardiac temponade.**
43
Describe the formation of the heart
44
name the layers of the heart
1. Outer- External epicardium- visceral serious pericardium 2. Middle- Myocradium- muscle layer 3. Internal- Endocardium- continous linning with the endothelium of the blood vessels
45
lable the major vessels: 1. Superior vena cava 2. Aorta 3. Inferior vena cava 4. pulmonary trunk
46
how mant surfaces does the heart have? name them ?
Anterior Posterior Base Inferior Apex
47
Where is the apex of the heart there is a right and left "ear " give the correct name
It is near the bottom tip ! Auricle
48
Where is the base of the heart
49
which surface of the heart sits on the diaphragm ?
The inferior
50
What is a heart attack/MI?
irreversible death (necrosis) of the heart muscle( myocardium- as a results of the blockage of the arterial blood supply.
51
what determines the type of the MI clinically
The surface of the heart .-
52
where is the cornary sinus located
inferior surface of the heart
53
where does the coronary sinus drain into ?
the right atrium
54
what blood supply is pumped at each side
**right- venus blood- deoxygenated** * blood from systemic circulation to pulmonary circulation **Left- arterial blood** * Blood from pulmonary circulation to systemic
55
the job role of the septum
division of the 2 sides.
56
Name the 2 systems the blood is pumped by the heart
1. Systemic- through the boody 2. Pulmonary to the lungs
57
Describe the pumping of the blood by the heart.
The deoxygenated blood from the body goes to the **right atrium** via the SVC/IVC. **RIGHT Atrium** fills and **tricuspid valves** open to allow blood to the **right ventrical.** The **right ventrical** fills and pushes blood through the **Pulmnary valve into the pulmonary trunck** to the lungs to be oxygenated in the lungs. Lungs push the **oxygenated** blood to the **left atrium** by the **Pulmonary veins.** filling causes the **bicuspid valves** to open alloin blood into the left atrium. From there the contraction of the **left atrium** causes the blood up the ascending aorta ( aortic valves). Arteries that branch from the aorta: **brachiocephalic, left common carotid, and left subclavian arteries**
58
name the 4 valves
**Right side-** Tricuspid Pulmonary valve **Left side -** bicuspid aortic valve
59
what is the name of the **FIRST** arteries that branch off the aorta?
**Coronary arteries**
60
describe the shape of the aorta
61
**Thoracic duct: functions**
Major lymphatic vessel in th body. Receives lymph from the left lung Returns lymp to large veins in the neck.
62
how is lymp made
**Fluid** “squeezed” **out of capillarie**s is mainly **reabsorbed** again before the **venules** **Excess fluid left** in the tissues is called **tissue fluid** Once this **fluid is taken up by lymphatic vessels it is called lymph**
63
Azygous vein
azygos vein **transports deoxygenated blood** from the **posterior walls of the thorax** and **abdomen into the superior vena cava vein**.
64
where are the nerves: ## Footnote **phrenic, vagus and recurrent laryngeal branches of the vagus nerves​**
65
Arteries to the head: ​
1. **Brachiocephalic artery** 2. **right/left common carotid artery (head)** 3. **right/left subclavian artery (right/lfet arm)**
66
Veins from the head and limbs: brachiocephalic vein internal jugular subclavian
