Week 1 lab Flashcards
(46 cards)
Spatial Resolution
Size of he smallest structures that can be distinguished
Contrast Resolution
ability to distinguish between intrinsic characteristics of different normal and abnormal structures
Temporal Resolution
ability to deal with moving tissues and flowing blood
Specific characteristics of imaging modalities
- spatial resolution - contrast resolution - temporal resolution - radiation type - cost - availability
Ultrasound characteristics - spatial resolution - contrast resolution - temporal resolution - radiation type - cost - availability
- medium to high, depending on patient and body part - medium - high - sound waves - Medium - Common
Unltrasound terminology - echogenic - hypoechoic - anechoic - doppler - duplex
- brighter - darker - black - uses sound waves for depth so you can tell which way fluid is going - doppler over an image
What makes up the superior thoracic aperture
- sternum, 1st rib, 1st vertebrae
Parts of sternum
- munbrium, body, xiphoid process
Parts of rib
head, neck, costal tubercle, body
Parts of vertebrae
- superior costal facet - inferior costal facet - superior articular process - inferior articular process - transverse costal facet - transverse process - articular process
three classes of ribs and which ribs fall under each class
- True Ribs: 1-7 - False Ribs: 8-10 - Floating: 11-12
Attachment of 3 classes of ribs to sternum
- True Ribs: attach directly to sternum - False ribs: attach to 7th costal cartilage - Floating ribs: no anterior attachment
In adolescents and young adults how is the sternum different?
- cartilaginous
When do bones ossify in the sternum
- 40
Synchondroses
how sternum is connected together
Why is the xiphoid process an important anatomical landmark in the median plane
Xiphoid process marks costal margin and marks the superior limit of the liver, central tendon of the diaphragm, and inferior border of the heart
Diaphragm - major function - what is central tendon? - structure that perforates the central tendon? - other structures that pass through and where? - motor innervation - sensory - blood supply on thoracic portion
- respiration - aponeurotic part of the diaphragm - IVC - Aorta at T12–passes through aortic hiatus - Esophagus at T10– passes through esophageal hiatus - phrenic, which also supplies sensory to central part - Central diaphragm is through phrenic nerve; Peripheral diaphragm is through intercostal nerves - Pericardiophrenic and Musculophrenic arteries which come off the internal thoracic artery (which comes off subclavian artery) and the superior phrenic artery (from thoracic aorta)
side effect of ascities
fluid in his abdomen is pushing up on his diaphragm, disrupting contraction and relaxation of diaphragm during breathing. Patient is not able to fully relax and contract and this leads to SOB
cardiac progenitor cells
○ primary (first) heart field (origin: mesodermal cells from primitive streak) ○ second heart field (origin: cardiac progenitor cells from pharyngeal mesoderm) • neural crest cells
What portion of the lateral plate mesoderm becomes the heart tubes?
Endocardial heart tubes
What day does the heart begin to beat? Blood flow?
- Dr. McGarvey: Heart beat begins: day 19, Blood flow begins: day 22 - Moore: Heart beat begins: day 22-23, Blood flow begins: during 4th week
Embryonic structure turns into - truncus arteriosus - bulbus cordis - primitive ventricle - primitive atrium - sinus venosus
- outflow tract -> divides into aorta and pulmonary trunk - smooth part of right and left ventricle - trabeculated parts of the right and left ventricles - trabeculated parts of the right and left atria - smooth part of right atria and coronary sinus
Septa - how many? - what forms AV septum? - what forms AV valves - clinical issues
- 4 - ventral AV cushion + dorsal AV cushion= AV cushion -> right and left AV canals - proliferation of subendocardial tissue around the AV canals - hypoplastic left heart syndrome
hypoplastic left heart syndrome
- right ventricle as pump - patent foramen ovale - atresia of mitral/ aortic orfice - hypoplasia of ascending aorta
