Acessory Thoracic muscle of inspiration: Internal Intercostal Muscles

Origin: Inferior margin of ribs 1-11


Insertion: Superior surface of rib below


Course: Down & lateral


Function: Elevates ribs 1-11

Accessory Thoracic muscle of inspiration: External Intercostal Muscles

Origin: Inferior surface of ribs 1-11


Insertion: Upper surface of ribs immediately below


Course: down & obliquely in


Function: Elevates ribs

Accessory Thoracic muscle of inspiration: Levator Costarum muscles Longus

Origin: Transverse processes of T7 through T11


Insertion: bypasses rib below point of origin, inserting instead into the next rib


Course: Down & obliquely out


Function: elevates rib cage

Muscles of Arm & Shoulder: Pectoralis Major Muscle

Origin: Sternal head; length of sternum @ costal cartilages; clavicular head: anterior clavicle


Insertion: greater tubercle of humerus


Course: fans laterally, converging @ humerus


function: elevates sternum, & subsequently increases transverse dimension of rib cage

Muscles of Arm & Shoulder: Pectoralis Minor Muscle

Origin: Anterior surface of ribs 2 through 5 near the chondral margin


Insertion: coracoid process of scapula


Course: up & laterally


Function: increases transverse dimension of rib cage



Posterior thoracic Muscle:Serratus Posterior Superior

Origin: C7, T1-T3


Course: inferior & lateral


Insertion: ribs 2-5 near angle


Function: thought to elevate ribs 2-5

Muscles of Arm & Shoulder: Serratus Anterior muscle

Origin: Ribs 1-9, lateral surface of the thorax


Course: up & back


Insertion: Inner vertebral border of scapula


Function: elevates ribs 1-9

Muscles of Arm & Shoulder: Trapezius

Origin: spinous processes of C2 to T12


Insertion: Acromion of scapula and superior surface of clavicle


Course: fans laterally


Function: elongates neck, controls head

Accessory Thoracic muscle of inspiration: Erector Spinae Muscle

Consists of 3 major types: Lateral (iliocostocervicalis) intermediate (longissmus), & medial (spinalis). each of these heads is further subdivided

Thoracic muscles of expiration: Transversus Thoracis

Origin: inner thoracic lateral margin of the sternum


Insertion: inner chondral surface of ribs 2-6


Course: laterally


function: depresses rib cage

Anterolateral abdominal muscles: Rectus abdominis muscle

Origin: originates as 4 or 5 segments at pubis inferiorly


Insertion: xiphoid process of sternum & the cartilage of ribs 5-7, lower ribs


Course: up to segment border


function: flexion of vertebral column

Accessory Muscle of Neck: Sternocleidomastoid

Origin: Mastoid process of the temporal bone


Course: Down


Insertion: superior manubrium sterni; clavicle


Function: elevates sternum & by association, rib cage

Accessory muscle of neck: Scalenes

group of 3 muscles deep in neck (anterior, medial, posterior)



Abdominal Aponeurosis

Linea alba (white line) runs from xiphoid process to the pubic symphysis forming a midline structure for muscular attachment. Differentiates into 2 sheets of aponeurosis. Aponerotic wrapping comes back together to form another band of tendon, linea semilunaris. tendon divides again, but this time into 3 sheets which will provide a way to attach 3 more muscles

Rectus Abdominis

prominent midline muscles of abdominal region, originates at pubis inferiorly.


muscles is 'must' to succeed at sit-ups

External Oblique

Most superficial of ab muscles, as well as largest


Bilateral contraction flexes vertebral column & compresses abdomen, unilateral contraction results in trunk rotation

Internal Oblique

ASsists in rotation of the trunk, if unilaterally contracted, or flexion of the trunk, when bilaterally contracted.

Transversus Abdominis muscle

Deepest of the anterior abdominal muscles; compresses abdomen

Quadratus Lumborum

Basic Function: bilateral contraction fixes abdominal wall in support of abdominal compression

Latissimus Dorsi

For respiration, stabilizes posterior abdominal wall for expiration

Structure of Visceral respiratory system

1. oral pharynx


2. Nasal pharynx


3. Laryngeal Pharynx


4. lungs

Visceral & connective tissues that make up portion

Visceral= smooth, connective tissue that makes up is epithelial cells

Trachea

Splits into 2 stems


tube has some structure or it will collapse entirely with changes in air pressure


fibrous membrane on inside & outside, joins between each ring to form intra-tracheal membrane

Bronchi Trees

Cartilaginous rings bound together fibroelastic tissue


purpose is airflow, gas exchange does not happen here


4 division of bronchi Trees

1. bronchial tubes


2. secondary branches (lobar)


3. Tertiary (segmental)


4. Bronchioles

Lungs

Composed of blood, arterial & venous network, connective tissue, respiratory pathway & alveoli


Right lung- 3 lobes


left lung- 2 lungs, accommodate space for heart

Alveoli of lungs

lungs contain over 300 million alveoli


located @ end of bronchi tree


Oxygen is absorbed from capillary network


CO2 transported out of alveoli


site of gas exchange

Basic process of respiration/inhalation

quiet inspiration: requires only 1 muscle


force inspiration: calls for many more muscle


thoracic muscles & diaphragm whose actions increases volume of thoracic cavity



Basic process of expiration/exhalation

abdominal muscle minimize vertical dimensions of thoracic cavity


thoracic & abdominal muscles pull rib cage & down


abdominal muscles most important

Basic Components of respiratory membrane of the Alveoli

Air-blood barrier composed of: alveolar & capillary walls, fused basal laminas


Alveolar walls: single layer of type 1 epithelial cells, permits gas exchange by simple diffusion, secrete angiotensin


Type II cells secret surfactant lining for the alveolus: important in proper lung function

Pleural linkage

Mechanism by which lungs 'linked' to thoracic wall


allows movement of rib cage to be transmitted to lungs


crucial to respiration:


parietal pleura- inner surface of thoracic cavity, including diaphragm.


visceral pleura- outer surface of lung


intrapleural space- fluid filled negative pressure region between parietal & visceral pleura

Respiratory physiology

structures involved in exchange of gas between blood & external environment.


Lungs


passageways leading to lungs


chest structures responsible for movement of air into and out of the lung

Boyles Law & Newton's Law applied to respiration

Rest- alveolar pressure= atmosphere pressure; no air movement


Inhalation- lung volume increased; alveolar pressure< atmosphere, air moves in


Exhalation- lung volume decreased; alveolar pressure> atmosphere pressure, air moves out
