Part 2 respiratory book Flashcards
(86 cards)
why do the external intercostal muscle fibers and the internal intercostal muscle fibers run at right angles to each
other
provide strength to muscle layers
what type of joint is the costotranverse
synovial plane
between tubercle of rib and transverse process
what type of joint is the costovertebral
synovial plane
between head of rib and inferior/superior demi facet on vertebral body
what type of joints are facet joints
synovial
what type of joints are intervertebral disc joints
secondary cartilaginous
symphysis
what is the inside and outside of intervertebral disc called
inside - nucleus pulposus
outside - annulus fibrosus
the intercostal vein, artery and nerve run in the?
lie between what muscles?
number according to what rib?
- subcostal groove (VAN)
- lie between internal and innermost intercostal muscle
- they are numbered by the superior rib
- supplies much of the innervation and vascular supply to the thoracic wall.
supplies much of the innervation and vascular supply to the thoracic wall.
neurovascular bundle
- located in the undersurface of rib - costal groove
- between inner and innermost intercostal muscles
Which structures comprise the neurovascular bundle?
intercostal vein, artery , nerve (superior to inferior)
which structure in the intercostal space is more liable to damage if a chest drain is inserted into the pleural space to close to the inferior boarder of a rib!!!
intercostal nerve - lowest lying structure
role of intercostal muscles during respiration
- assist with movements of chest wall
- Prevent the lungs and pleura from ballooning out between the ribs during movements
small collateral branch of neurovascular bundle
- runs above the top of each rib
- NAV (superior to inferior)
- supplies the pleurae AND periosteum of the ribs
