Q

what is the hilum

A

the hilum acts as the root of the lung

The hilum is where the connection between the parietal pleura (covering the rib cage) and the visceral pleura (covering the lung) connect.

the hilum allows the movement of substances through the body.

Q

what causes the lub dub sound

A

the lub sound is the 1st sound and is caused when the tricuspid and the bicuspid (mitral) valve close.

the dub sound follows after when the pulmonary and the aortic valve close.

Q

how does pneumothorax occur

A

pneumothorax occurs when air has entered the pleural cavity.

air can enter if there is a puncture in the parietal pleura or if there is a tear in the visceral pleura.

the air that enters the pleural cavity results in the vaccum to collapse.

Q

where is the location of the phrenic nerve?

what is the function of the phrenic nerve?

A

the phrenic nerves originate from the anterior rami of the cervical spines c3,4,5

Q

what is carried between the intercostal space

A

in the intercostal space between the internal intercostal muscle and the innermost intercostal muscle

the neurovascular bundle is present which consists of a vein, artery and nerve.
