Study Notes

Coronary Artery Dominance

  • The Sino-Atrial Nodal Artery is dependent on the Coronary Artery Dominance.

Coronary Bypass Operation

  • The Internal Thoracic Artery can be used as a graft in a Coronary Bypass Operation.

Myocardial Infarction

  • Myocardial infarction is caused by coronary artery occlusion.
  • The Right Coronary Artery accounts for 40-50% of all blockages.

Angina Pectoris

  • Angina pectoris is caused by myocardial ischaemia.
  • Myocardial ischaemia is a sudden decrease in the flow of blood to the heart, commonly due to the occlusion of a coronary artery.

Heart Valves

  • The valve pointed to in the diagram is the Pulmonary valve.

Diaphragm

  • The Diaphragm is innervated by the Phrenic Nerve, which originates from C3, C4, and C5.
  • The Caval Hiatus, Oesophageal Hiatus, and Aortic Hiatus are present at T8, T10, and T12.
  • The Inferior Phrenic Arteries supply the Diaphragm.

Respiratory Tract

  • The cells lining the trachea are Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelial cells.
  • Smoking can damage these cells.

Larynx

  • The Vestibular Ligament is an alternative name for the False Vocal Cords.
  • The Cricoid Cartilage is the largest cartilage in the Larynx.
  • The Cricothyroid Membrane is commonly penetrated in a Laryngotomy.

Mediastinum

  • The Mediastinum is the space between the lungs, within the Thoracic Cavity, bounded in front by the Sternum and behind by the Vertebral Column.
  • The Mediastinum can be subdivided by the Sagittal Plane.
  • The Thymus Gland enlarges in Myasthenia Gravis.
  • The Oesophagus and Thoracic Duct pass through the Posterior Mediastinum.

Thymus Gland

  • The Thymus Gland has a role in the immune system.
