17
Q

diaphragm

A

attachment: from xiphoid process, inner surface of the lower ribs and costal cartilages, lumbar vertebrae via the crura to the central tendon (inferior border of thorax)
action: inspiration/ inferior displacement
innervation: phrenic nerve (C3-5)

18
Q

Phrenic Nerve C3-5

A

function: sensory and postganglionic sympathetic innervation to pericardium and central tendon: motor and postganglionic sympathetic innervation to diaphragm

19
Q

Left Phrenic Nerve

A

passes anterior to the root of the left lung, lateral to pericardial sac, and passes lateral to the ascending aorta

20
Q

Right Phrenic Nerve

A

positioned lateral to the superior vena cava, lateral to the pericardial sace and passes anterior to the root of the right lung

21
Q

Azygus Vein

A

superios to the right main bronchus

22
Q

Parietal Lymph Nodes

A

parasternal
intercostal
diaphragmatic
posterior medistinal

23
Q

Visceral Lymph Nodes

A
drains into the left/right bronchomediastinal trunks
Pulmonary 
bronchopulmonary
tracheobronchial (superior and inferior)
paratracheal
24
Q

Medial/lateral dimension

A

inspiration: ribs elevate and move middle of shaft laterally
expiration: ribs depress and move middle of shaft medially

25
Q

anterior/ posterior dimension

A

inspiration: ribs elevate and move sternum upward and forward (pump handle)
expiration: ribs depress and move sternum downward and backward

26
Q

Innervation Landmarks

A

T4=includes the nipple
T6=includes skin over xiphoid
T10=includes the umbilicus

27
Q

Thoracic Wall Innervation

A
intercostal nerves (T1-6)-- upper intercostal nerves
thoracoabdominal nerves (T7-T11)-- lower intercostal nerves
subcostal nerves (T12)
28
Q

Respiratory Movement

A

increase the volume of the thoracic cavity
vertical dimension: depression of diaphragm
med/lat, ant/post: elevation of ribs

29
Q

Cisterna Chyli

A

function: receives lymph from preaortic and retroaortic lymph nodes and lower extremities (via left and right lumbar trunks) and provides origin to thoracic duct

30
Q

Thoracic Duct

A

function: drain nodes of the right and left lower extremities, pelvis, abdomen, left thorax, left upper extremity, and left head and neck (via cisterna chyli, left jugular, left subclavian, and left bronchomediastinal trunks)

31
Q

Right Lymphatic Duct

A

function: drain nodes of the right thorax, right upper extremity, and right head and neck.
forms: at union of right jugular, right subclavian, and right bronchomediastinal trunks

32
Q

A

function: drain parasternal and thoracic visceral nodes

33
Q

Breast Lymph Nodes

A

parasternal: drian medial breast bilaterally
inguinal: may drain inferior breast
infraclavicular: may drain superio breast
axillary: predominant drainage of breast
apical axillary: drain superior breast and other axillary nodes

34
