Origin of the internal thoracic arteries?

Subclavian Artery

What two areas or structures does the internal thoracic artery nourish?

Diaphragm nerves

Phrenic (central part) and intercostal nerves (peripheral)

Costal and diaphragmatic surface of the lungs

Visceral afferents

sensory innervation: oblique fissures

Visceral afferents

How many ribs higher does the inferior border of the lungs lie than the lowest extent of the parietal pleura?

2

In mid axillary line, mid- inspiration, the lungs cross what rib_____ while the lower border of parietal pleura crosses the ___ rib

8th, 10th

To drain fluid from the pleural cavity the drain tube is commonly placed in the 8th or 9th intercost space, mid axillary line. the drain enters what recess?

Costodiaphragmatic Recess

The intercostal neurovascular bundle travels between what intercostal muscle layers

Intermostintercostal and internal intercostal muscles

each lung has how many broncho-pulmonary segments?

10

Anatomically the superior lob of the lung lies mostly_____ while the inferior lobe lies mostly____

anterior= superior lobe, posterior=inferior lobe

What is the lingual

Lower projection off the LEFT upper lobe of the lung

The lingual is synonymous with what part of the right lung?

Middle lobe

Apex of each lung lies above the ____&_____ to extend to the root of the neck

Clavicle and 1st rib

What travels with the segmental bronchi through the middle of the broncho-pulmonary segment

Segmental bronchi and artery

Lymphatic drainage of the lungs is collected by what set of lymph nodes

Pulmonary to hilar

Lung and viscera pleura are insensitive to somatic-type stimuli except for

stretch or distension

primary bronchus is more likely to receive a foreign body on what side and why?

Right main bronchus, it is wider and straighter continuation of the trachea

Another name for the right upper lobar bronchus and why?

Epiarterial, it lies above the right pulmonary artery

hilum of the lung, what pulmonary structure generally lies most anterior and posterior, and superior

Pulmonary veins are anterior, bronchus - are posterior, and pulmonary arteries superior


in relation to the hilum.

Vertebral body level and sternal level that the trachea bifurcates

Sternal angle, 4th thoracic vertebral body level

Upward pointing projection on the inside of the trachea at its bifurcation into primary bronchi?

Carina

Nerve anterior to the root of the lungs

Phrenic

nerve posterior to the root of the lung

Vagus

component of the autonomic nervous system is found on the lateral sides of the vertebral bodies in the thorax

Sympathetic chain and greater splanchnic nerve

Needle is placed here to avoid intercostal NVB while removing fluid from costodiaphragmatic recess

Through middle of the space, using the superior border of the rib below as a guide.

In a unilateral sucking or open pneumothorax, what does the mediastinum and inflated lung do during inspiration?

Deviate to the uninjured side. (deviate opposite of the opening in the thoracic wall)

Unilater tension pneumothorax, meddiastinum and inflated lung do what on expiration

Remain deviated to the side opposite the opening in the thoracic wall.

What happens to the shape and volume of the thoracic cavity on inspiration

All volumes increase, thus pressure decrease within the thoracic cavity. The ribcage elevates increasing the side-to-side diameter (bucket handle) and the Anterior posterior diameter (pump handle), while the diaphragm contracts and drops, increasing the superior-inferior diameter.

Bony landmark divides the superior and inferior mediastina?

Sternal angle

Thymus is found in which divisions of the mediastinum

Superior and anterior

Primary artery found in the posterior mediastinum

descending aorta

Middle mediastinum is home for what major structure/organ

heart

What structures border the thoracic duct in the posterior mediastinum

Aorta, vertebran bodies, esophagus

What is the name for the thin membrane which lines the inside of the fibrous pericardium?

parietal layer of serous pericardium

What is the procedure called when the pericardial sac is tapped with a needle for removal of fluid?

pericardiocenthesis

Where on the anterior chest wall is the aortic valve best heard, MV?

AParTMent


aortic 2nd IC space, lateral sternal border


Mitral- apex of heart, 5th intercostal space near mid-clavicular line

Where on the anterior chest wall is the apex of the heart projected?

5th intercostal space near
left mid-clavicular line

What valve is heard best at about its anatomic position as projected onto the anterior chest
wall?

tricuspid valve

What is the name of the external depression on the heart which divides the atria from
ventricles?

coronary sulcus

Auricles are part of which heart chamber

atria

The pulmonary trunk carries blood from which chamber of the heart?

right ventricle

What is the name of the A/V valve that sits between the right atrium and ventricle?

tricuspid

The “rough” muscular part of the atria walls are termed the

Pectinate muscles

What is the function of the papillary/chordae tendenae complexes?

prevent AV valve cusps
from regurgitating into atria upon ventricular contraction.

How many pulmonary veins usually enter the left atrium?

4

What is the usual origin for the left subclavian artery and right subclavian artery

LeftSCA- Aortic arch


RightSCA-Brachiocephalic trunk

The azygos vein arches over the root of the lung to enter what vessel?

SVC(superior vena cava)

In general the venous drainage from the heart in collected in what structure before being
emptied into the right atrium?

coronary sinus

In a left dominant coronary artery distribution pattern, which parts of the heart are supplied by branches of the left coronary artery?

both interventricular sulci and the posterior surface of the left ventricle

Coronary arteries areise from the

aortic sinuses of Valsalva

The impulse wave from the AV node is transmitted to the ventricles by what bundle

Av bundle of His

Which nerve supplies parasympathetic innervation to the thoracic viscera?

Vagus CN (X)

What affect does sympathetic innervation have on the heart and lungs
