What defines the costomediastinal recess and where is it most accessible?
Sternal reflection. 4th ICS or via the para-xiphoid approach.
From where does the visceral pleura receive blood?
Art: bronchial arteries; ven: bronchial veins.
Describe the arterial and venous circulation of the parietal pleura.
Art: intercostal art (costal) and Internal thoracic artery (mediastinal). Venous: via corresponding veins
What is the lymphatic drainage of the pleura?
Visceral (superficial lymphatic plexus), costal (intercostal lymph Nds), diaphragmatic (dia. LNds), mediastinal (mdstnl LNds.)
What is the motor and sensory nerve supply to the visceral pleura?
Motor: none. Sensory: via the pulmonary plexus to the vagus
What section of the parietal pleura are innervated by the phrenic nerve?
Mediastinal pleura, Cervical pleura, diaphragmatic pleura
What area of the parietal pleura is innervated by the intercostal nerves of T1-T11?
The costal pleura and the most peripheral areas of the diaphragmatic pleura
How is the parietal peritoneum innervated?
The phrenic nerve and, in the most peripheral areas, the lower intercostal nerves
What is the mediastinum?
The area of the thorax located between the two lungs
What are the borders of the mediastinum?
Sternum, Thoracic vertebrae, Mediastinal pleura, Superior thoracic aperture, diaphragm
What are two and four divisions of the mediastinum?
Two: superior and inferior mediastinum; Four: superior, anterior, middle, and posterior mediastinum
What can be found in the superior mediastinum?
Trachea, Esophagus, Vagus nerves, Aortic arch, thymus gland, phrenic nerve, superior vena cava, aortic arteries, sympathetic trunk
What is found in the anterior mediastinum?
Lymph nodes, adipose tissue, portion of the thymus
What can be found in the middle mediastinum?
Pericardial sac, phrenic nerves, heart, roots of the eight major blood vessels
What can be found in the posterior mediastinum?
Esophogus, vagus nerve, 1⁰ bronchi, descending aorta, azygos and hemiozygos vein
Name the facial bones and whether they are paired or unpaired.
Unpaired: vomer, mandible. Paired: maxilla, palatine, zygomatic, inf. Nasal conchae, lacrimal, nasal
How are the ethmoid bone and vomer bone related?
perpendicular plate of the ethmoid extends inf. And fuses with vomer to form 2/3 of nasal septum
Which bones fuse together to form the hard palate?
palatine process of the maxilla and the palatine bones
How do we classify airways according to function?
Conductive airways and gas exchange airways
Because the conductive airways have no gas exchange going on, how else can we refer to them?
Anatomical dead space
The conducting airways extend from where to where?
From the nose and mouth to the terminal bronchioles
What defines the mouth/oral cavity?
It extends from the lips to the palatoglossal fold
What is the palatoglossal fold or anterior pillar?
Fold of tissue located on each side of the oral cavity due to the palatoglossal muscle
What is the palatoglossal arch or the anterior arch?
The two palatoglossal folds on each side that form the palatoglossal arch, border btwn oral cavity and oral pharynx
What is the palatopharyngeal fold
fold of tissue on each side of the oropharynx posterior to the palatoglossal folds
What forms the palatopharyngeal arch (aka posterior arch)?
two palatopharyngeal folds
What lies between the anterior and posterior arch?

How many subunits is the tongue made of and how are those subunits connected?

How is the tongue divided from front to back?
