Q

What are the parts of the sternum? and what does it articulate with?

A

Manubrium- superior part
- superior border- suprasternal
notch
- articulates laterally with clavicle
at sternoclavicular joint and with
first rib
- articulates inferiorly with
sternum body at
manubriosternal joint- ‘angle of
Louis’
Body- inferior to manubrium
- articulates ribs 2-7
- second rib articulates at sternal angle
- articulates inferiorly with xiphoid
process
Xiphoid process- inferior to body
-seventh rib articulates

24
Q

What is a dermatome?

A

Area of skin innervated by single spinal nerve

25
Q

What is the breast part of?

A

Axillary tail

26
Q

What does the breast contain?

A

● Fat
● Glandular tissue- lobules
● Ducts converge on nipple.
Areola pigmented skin surrounds nipple

28
Q

What supplies the breast?

A

Internal thoracic artery (arise subclavian)- give ride anterior intercostal
Axillary artery

29
Q

How does blood return in breasts?

A

Axillary
Internal thoracic veins

30
Q

What nerves to breast?

A

Somatic nerves
Sympathetic fibres via intercostal

31
Q

Where does lymph from the breast drain to?

A

Lymph nodes in axilla

32
Q

What are 5 groups of lymph nodes in axilla? and what do they do?

A

Central, pectoral, humeral, subscapular, apical
Drain breast, upper limb, chest, abdominal
Apical drain most lymph from breast

33
Q

What are the three layers of intercostal muscles?

A

External- superficial
Internal
Innermost- deepest

34
Q

What is function of intercostal muscles?

A

Move ribs
Alter dimensions of thoracic to aid insp and exp

35
Q

What is the most superficial muscle of anterior chest wall?

A

Pectoralis major

36
Q

Where is pec major? and function

A

adduct humerous

37
Q

What lies deep to pec major? and function

A

Pectorals minor- smaller muscle
Attaches scapula and ribs 3-5
Protract scapula

38
Q

Superficial muscle that wraps round thoracic cage?

A

Serratus anterior
Attached to scapula and upper 8 ribs
Protract sacpula

Q

Function of pec major, minor and serratus anterior?

A

Move upper limb
Pec major- adducts humerous
Pec minor- protract scapula
Serratus anterior- protract scapula
Also act accessory muscles- attach ribs- if used in resp distress

43
Q

What disease is associated with dermatomes?

A

Shingles- reactivation herpes
Dormant in dorsal root ganglion- activated- rash in dermatome with affected spinal nerve

44
Q

Where does most lymph drain and why can be issue?

A

Axillary nodes- malignant spread here first
Removed issue as nothing to reduce swelling and fluid lead lymphoedema
