D1 anatomy test2 Flashcards
(146 cards)
between what vertebrae separates the superior from inferior mediastinum?
T4-T5, inferior part has the heart
describe the development of lungs in relation to mediastinum
lungs grow out from mediastinum becoming surrounded by the pleura
pleural cavities are surrounded by what cells?
mesothelial cells
what is in the root of the lung?
pulmonary vessels, lymphatic tissue, nerves
parietal pleura vs visceral pleura
parietal is the outer layer. Visceral is directly on the lungs
what is a recess?
space of thoracic cavity the pleura doesn’t cover.
name the largest recess
costodiaphragmatic recess
how high does the pleura cavity extend in the neck?
2-3 cm above rib 1
what is a axillary inlet
gateway from thorax to superior limbs
what makes it?
superior margin of scapula, clavicle, lateral margin of rib 1. Brachial plexus passes through this.
what separates the abdomen from thorax?
diaphram
2 pathways structures enter the abdomen
pass through, pass posteriorly
pathway of inferior vena cavae
through central tendon near T8
esophagus pathway
through the muscular part near the mediastinum near T10
Aortic pathway
posteriorly to diaphragm midline at T12
breasts have 3 things
glands, superficial fascia, skin
lymphatic drainage of medial parts of breast
parasternal nodes
lymphatic drainage of lateral parts of breast
axillary region of upper limb
what nerves innervate breasts?
intercostal nerves 4-6
Explain why vertebral level 4-5 is important clinically
rib counting to find rib 2 (The clavicle covers rib 2), Also separates superior/inferior mediastinums, marks superior limit of pericardium, marks the aortic arch, Bifurcation of trachea
give some reasons why the venous system shunts left to right
Right atrium is on right side of body, superior & inferior vena cavae are on right side
what delivers the left side of the body (head, neck, upper limb, part of thorax) to superior vena cava?
left brachiocephalic vein
what drains everything else?
hemiazygos, accessory hemiazygos veins
why is the anterior part of the rib more inferior that the posterior part?
to allow expansion of the rib cage during respiration. The anterior thoracic wall moves
