Term
Thorax function
Definition
compartmentalization of work
- specialized cubby hole

protected area (fragile organs)
Term
Thorax boundaries
Definition
THORACIC INLET
-cranial
-approx at level of 1st rib
- area of ribs ≠ area of lungs
- great input for air and food (esophagus/trachea)

DIAPHRAGM
-caudal

RIBS
-musc, SQ tiss, skin
-sides

MOST VERTEBRAL COLUMN, EPAXIAL MUSC, SKIN
-dorsal

STERNUM, MUSC, SKIN
-ventrally
Term
THORACIC MUSC FUNC
Definition
PROTECTION
-mechanical and infection

THERMODYNAMICS
-conserving/generating heat

HYDRATION

RESPIRATION
-inspiration: concentrated effort
-expiration: predominately recoil (very few muscles needed to control expiration)

LOCOMOTION
-synsarcosis (syn=with, sarc=musc, osis=formation)
-union of parts of the skeleton by musc
Term
Extrinsic musc definition
Definition
musc that are part of the thoracic wall and involved in synsarcosis
Term
extrinsic musc of thorax
Definition
*cutaneous trunci
*trapezius
*rhomboideus
*lats
*serratus group of musc
*brachiocephalicus
-cleidobrachialis
-cleidocephalicus (mastoid, cervical)
*omotransversarius
*pectorals
Term
pleural cavity
Definition
body cavity that holds the lungs
Term
pleura
Definition
serous memb that folds onto itself to form a 2-layered memb bag
Term
types of pleura
Definition
COSTAL PARIETAL PLEURA
-transparent, covers elevated thoracic wall

DIAPHRAGMATIC PARIETAL PLEURA
-covers the diaphragm

MEDIASTINAL PARIETAL PLEURA
-covers mediastinum + heart

VISCERAL (PULMONARY) PLEURA
-covers caudal,middle, cranial lobes of lung
Term
viscera
Definition
organs (singular = viscus)
Term
visceral vs parietal
Definition
visceral
- pertaining to organs
- visceral pleura will be the organs touching the lungs

parietal
- pertaining to wall
- anything else
Term
cardiac notch (equine)
Definition
of the L lung
3 thru 6 intercostal spaces
Term
line of pleural reflection (equine)
Definition
*extends along 8th and 9th costal carts
*crosses the costochondral junc of 9th rib
passes dorsocaudally in a gentle curve and at progressviely increasing distances rom the costochondral junc of the succeeding ribs
*reaches the mid of cranial border of last rib and turns craniomedially ending at the vert end of the last (17th) intercostal space
Term
costodiaphragmatic recess
Definition
caudal to this is where we swtich from diaphragmatic pleura to costal pleura
Term
cardiac notch (bovine)
Definition
L side
ventral one-thirs of the 3rd and 4th IC spp
Term
line of pleural reflection (bovine)
Definition
*extends from knee of 7th or 8th rib (c.c.j)
*through a point ventral to the mid of the 11th rib to the angle of the last rib at the lat border of the musc of the back
Term
thoracocentesis
Definition
air: dorsal or mid-costal
fluid: ventral
Term
epaxial
Definition
any musc above the vertebral column
Term
hypaxial
Definition
any musc below vert column
Term
reltionhsip of rps, lps, and mediastinal space
Definition
heart is located in the mediastinal space between the rps and lps

Rps/lps= R or L pleural sac

the lung are the predominant organ in the thoracic cavity and the rest is in these 2 sacs
Term
reltionhsip of rps, lps, and mediastinal space
Definition
heart is located in the mediastinal space between the rps and lps

Rps/lps= R or L pleural sac

the lung are the predominant organ in the thoracic cavity and the rest is in these 2 sacs
