Quiz 4 Flashcards
(20 cards)
1
Q
Cranial Epigastric Artery
A
- Terminal branch of the internal thoracic artery
- Emerges from the thorax between the costal arch and the sternum
- Passes caudally on the deep surface of rectus abdominus
- Gives rise to the cranial superficial epigastric
2
Q
Cranical Superficial Epigastric Artery
A
- Perforates rectus abdominis and runs caudally on its external surface
- Supplies the skin over the rectus abdominis and the caudal thoracic and cranial abdominal mammae
3
Q
Pleurae
A
- Serous membranes that cover the lungs and line the walls of the thorax
- Form right and left sacs that enclose the pleural cavities which consists of visceral and parietal parts
4
Q
Pulmonary/Visceral Pleura
A
- Closely attaches to the surfaces of the lung
5
Q
Parietal Pleura
A
- Attached to the thoracic wall by the endotheracic fascia
- Divided into costal, diaphragmatic, and mediastinal parts
6
Q
Costal Pleura
A
- Part of the Parietal Pleura
- Covers the inner surfaces of the ribs and their associated intercostal and transversus thoracis muscles
7
Q
Diaphragmatic Pleura
A
- Part of the Parietal Pleura
- Covers the cranial surface of the diaphragm
8
Q
Mediastinal Pleurae
A
- Part of the Parietal Pleura
- Layers that cover the sides of the partition between the two pleural cavities
9
Q
Mediastinum
A
- Includes the two mediastinal pleurae
- Encloses the thymus, the lymph nodes, the heart, the aorta, the trachea, the esophagus, the vagus nerves, and other nerves and vessels
10
Q
Pericardial Mediastinal Pleura
A
- Portion covering the heart
11
Q
Cranial Part of the Mediastinum
A
- Lying cranial to the heart
12
Q
Middle Part of the Mediastinum
A
- Contains the heart
13
Q
Dorsal Portion of the Mediastinum
A
- Dorsal to the heart
14
Q
Ventral Portion of the Mediastinum
A
- Ventral to the heart
15
Q
Caudal Part of the Mediastinum
A
- Caudal to the heart
- Thin
- Attaches to the diaphragm far to the left of the median plane
16
Q
Plica Venae Cavae
A
- Loose fold of pleura derived from the right caudal mediastinal portion of the pleural sac that surrounds the caudal vena cava
17
Q
Root of the Lung
A
- Composed of pleura and the bronchi, vessels, and nervers entering the lung
18
Q
Pulmonary Ligament
A
- Between the caudal lobe of the lung and the mediastinum at the level of the esophagus
19
Q
Thymus
A
- Bilobed, compressed structure situated in the cranial mediastinum
- when maximally developed the caudal part of the thymus is molded on the cranial surface of the pericardium
20
Q
Internal thoracic artery
A
- Leaves the subclavian artery, courses ventrocaudally in the cranial mediastinum, and disappears deep to the cranial border of the transversus thoracic muscle.
- It supplies many branches to surrounding structures - the phrenic nerve, the thymus, the mediastinal pleurae, and the dorsal intercostal spaces.
