Term
What is the origin of the internal thoracic arteries?
Definition
Subclavian artery
Term
What two areas or structures do the internal thoracic nourish?
Definition
1.Intercostal spaces anteriorly via small intercostal branches and from the musculophrenic artery

2.Rectus abdominis via the superior epigastric artery
Term
What muscles holds the internal thoracic artery to the inside of the chest wall?
Definition
Transverse thoracic
Term
What is the sensory innervation to the pleura lining the:
thoracic cavity
mediastinum
diaphgram
costal & diaphragmatic surface of lungs
oblique fissure
Definition
thoracic cavity (costal part)
- Intercostal nerves

mediastinum
-Phrenic nerve

diaphragm
-Phrenic (central part) and intercostal nerves (peripheral)

costal and diaphragmatic surface of lungs
-Visceral afferents

oblique fissures
-Visceral afferents
Term
In general, by how many ribs higher does the inferior border of the lungs lie than the lowest extent of the parietal pleura?
Definition
2
Term
In the mid axillary line, in mid-inspiration, the lungs cross the ___ rib, while the lower border of the parietal pleura crosses the ____ rib.
Definition
8th
10th
Term
To drain fluid from the pleural cavity the drain tube is commonly placed in the 8th or 9th intercostal space, mid-axillary line. The drain enters what recess?
Definition
Costodiaphragmatic recess
Term
What intercostal muscle layers does the intercostal neurovascular bundle travel between?
Definition
the intermost intercostal and internal intercostal muscles
Term
Developmentally, each lung has how many broncho-pulmonary segments?
Definition
10
Term
Anatomically the superior lobe of the lung lies mostly _____, while the inferior lobe lies mostly _____.
Definition
anterior
posterior
Term
What is the lingual?
Definition
Lower projection off the left upper lobe of lung
Term
The lingual is synonymous with what part of the right lung?
Definition
middle lobe
Term
The apex of each lung lies above the _______ & ______ to extend into the root of the neck.
Definition
clavical & 1st rib
Term
What travels with the segmental bronchi through the middle of the broncho-pulmonary segment?
Definition
Segmental bronchi and artery
Term
What is the result of sympathetic innervation to the lung?
Definition
Vasodilation of pulmonary and bronchial vessels, decreased mucus secretion & bronchodilation. The book differs from my answer in that it states that the sympathetics vasoconstricts the pulmonary and bronchial arteries. Supposedly this increases the pressure, but does not make sense to me so this particular point (vasodilation/vasoconstriction) will not be tested over.
Term
Lymphatic drainage of the lungs is collected by what set of lymph nodes?
Definition
Pulmonary to hilar
Term
Other than pulmonary vessels, what is the blood supply to the lungs and bronchi?
Definition
Bronchial arteries
Term
The lung and viscera pleura are insensitive to somatic-type stimuli, except for:
Definition
Stretch or distension.
Term
Which primary bronchus is more likely to receive a foreign body and why?
Definition
Right main bronchus, it is wider a straighter continuation of the trachea.
Term
What is another name for the right upper lobar bronchus and why?
Definition
Epiarterial, it lies above the right pulmonary artery.
Term
At the hilum of the lung, what pulmonary structure(s) generally lies most
anterior?
posterior?
superior?
Definition
anterior - pulmonary veins
posterior - bronchus
superior - pulmonary artery
Term
At what vertebral body level and sternal level does the trachea bifurcate?
Definition
At the sternal angle, 4th thoracic vertebral body level.
Term
What is the upward pointing projection on the inside of the trachea at its bifurcation into primary bronchi?
Definition
carina
Term
What nerve runs anterior to the root of the lung?
Definition
phrenic nerve
Term
What nerve runs just posterior to the root of the lung?
Definition
vagus
Term
What component of the autonomic nervous system is found on the lateral sides of the vertebral bodies in the thorax?
Definition
sympathetic chain and greater splanchnic nerve
Term
Where is the needle placed to avoid the intercostals neurovascular bundle while removing fluid from the costodiaphragmatic recess?
Definition
Through the middle of the space, using the superior border of the rib below as a guide.
Term
In a unilateral sucking or open pneumotharax, what does the mediastinum and inflated lung do during inspiration?
Definition
They deviate to the side opposite the opening in the thoracic wall.
Term
In a unilateral tension pneumothorax, what does the mediastinum and inflated lung do upon expiration?
Definition
They remained deviated to the side opposite the opening in the thoracic wall.
Term
During inspiration describe the changes in shape and volume of the thoracic cavity.
Definition
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.
