Sternocostal joint of 1st rib

it is a synchondrosis
Vertebral level of the: Jugular notch, manubrium, bifurcation of the trachea (also sternal angle)
Jug notch - T2

This is the midline marker for what?
T10

midline marker for upper limit of liver, central tendon of diaphragm, inferior border of heart
Definition of ribs that are:
dislocated, separated, fractured
Dislocated - displaced at the sternocostal joint

Separated - rib torn from the costal cartilage

Fracture - break in the rib , often occurs at angle of the rib.
What type of connective tissue surrounds the mammary glands?
Dense irregular
What is the pathway of travel for milk out the breast?
Alveoli > intralobular ducts > interlobular ducts > lactiferous sinuses > lactiferous duct
What is the DUAL mode of secretion for milk in the breast?
Merocrine - proteins and carbs secreted by exocytosis

Apocrine (portion of cell leaves) - Milk fats secreted in large lipid-type droplets
From birth to about 3-4 days afterwards, what is the mammary gland secreting?

5 days after birth, secreting what?
Colostrum (birth to 3 days): very HIGH in protein and antibodies.
LOW in fat and carbs

Milk (5 days after birth): LOW in protein + antibodies, HIGH in fat and carbs
During pregnancy, prolactin production is suppressed by _________ and _______.
estrogen and progesterone
After pregnancy, temporary decrease in estrogen and progesterone allows secretion of what?
Prolactin, which stimulates milk production.
Suckling sends impulses to _______ which in turn activates ________.
hypothalamus

adenohypophysis
Oxytocin stimulates ______ cells to contract and eject milk.
myoepithelial
Drainage from the cysterna chyli goes to where?
Thoracic duct
Thoracic duct drains into the venous system where?
at jxn of internal jug veain and the subclavian vein
What area of the body drains to the right lymphatic duct?
Upper right
What area of the body drains to the thoracic duct?
Upper left, lower left, lower right.
Most of the drainage of the upper limb initially travels to the _______ nodes and then to the _______ nodes.
Lateral nodes

then to apical nodes
Main Breast lymphatic drainage pattern.
Breast > axillary nodes (pectoral, subscapular, apical) > inra/supraclavicular nodes > sublavian nodes > jxn of brachiocephalic + jugular veins
What is the origin, insertion, primary actions, secondary actions, innervation of
PECTORALIS MAJOR?
origin - clavicle, anterior sternum, upper 6 costal cartilages, aponeurosis of external oblique

insertion - lateral aspect of intertubercular groove (bicipital groove) of humerus.

Primary actions - adduction and medial rotation of humerus

secondary - forced inspiration

Innervation - lateral and medial pectoral nerves
What is the origin, insertion, primary actions, secondary actions, innervation of
PECTORALIS MINOR?
Origin - 3rd-5th ribs

Insertion - coracoid process

Primary action - pull scapular inferiorly, scapular protrusion

2ndary action - forced inspiration

Innervation - medial pectoral nerve
What is the origin, insertion, primary actions, secondary actions, innervation of
SERRATUS ANTERIOR?
origin - ribs 1-8

insertion - anterior surface of medial border of scapula

Primary actions - protrusion and inferior rotation of scapula

2ndary - forced inspiration

Innervation - long thoracic nerve (runs on it's surface)
The inercostal veins, arteries and nerves run between what 2 layers of intercostal muscles?
internal and innermost intercostal muscles
External intercostal muscles are innervated by what?

And are most active during (inspiration or respiration)
innervated by branches of thoracic VPR

Active during inspiration
Internal intercostal muscles are active during (inspiration or respiration)
respiration
What are the costal muscles that DEPRESS the ribs?
Subcostal muscles

On internal surface of ribs
What nerve and vessel run on the surface of the serratus anterior?
Long thoracic nerve and lateral thoracic artery
Borders of superior thoracic aperture?
Posterior - body of vertebra T1

Sides - medial margin of rib 1

anterior - manubrium
What are the borders of the Axillary Inlet?
Posterior border - superior margin of scapula

Anterior border - clavicle

Lateral margin - medial aspect of 1st rib

Apex - medial margin of the coracoid process

Base - lateral margin of rib 1
Excessive connective tissue growth in the axillary inlet leads to what?
weakness of the upper limb
Which bronchus is wider, right or left?
