    Study Notes

    Muscles of Respiration

    • Muscles responsible for moving the rib superiorly during inspiration include the external intercostal muscles and the diaphragm.
    • Muscles responsible for moving the rib inferiorly during expiration are primarily the internal intercostal muscles.
    • The diaphragm is the primary muscle of inspiration, playing a crucial role in the breathing process.

    Nerve Supply of the Diaphragm

    • The diaphragm is innervated by the phrenic nerve, which originates from the cervical spinal nerves C3, C4, and C5.

    Foramina in the Diaphragm

    • The diaphragm contains three main foramina: the aortic hiatus, esophageal hiatus, and inferior vena cava foramen.

    Diaphragm Attachment and Action

    • The diaphragm attaches to the lower ribs (ribs 6-12), lumbar vertebrae, and the xiphoid process.
    • Its action during inspiration is to contract and flatten, increasing thoracic volume and facilitating airflow into the lungs.

    Nerve Supply to Intercostal Muscles

    • External intercostal muscles are supplied by the intercostal nerves (T1-T11).
    • Internal intercostal muscles receive nerve supply also from the intercostal nerves.
    • Innermost intercostal muscles share their nerve supply with the internal intercostals through the intercostal nerves.

    Blood Supply to the Breast

    • The breast is primarily supplied by the internal mammary artery, lateral thoracic artery, and thoracoacromial artery.
    • Venous drainage of the breast is via the axillary vein and internal thoracic vein.
    • The breast is innervated by the intercostal nerves (T2-T6).

    Lymphatic Drainage of the Breast

    • Approximately 75% of lymphatic drainage of the breast goes to the axillary lymph nodes.

    Blood Supply and Drainage of the Thoracic Wall

    • The thoracic wall is mainly supplied by the intercostal arteries, which are branches of the thoracic aorta and internal thoracic artery.
    • On the right side, the thoracic wall drains primarily through the right superior intercostal vein and the azygos vein.
    • Intercostal muscles, skin of the chest wall, and parietal pleura are mainly supplied by the intercostal nerves (T1-T11).

    Blood Supply and Drainage of the Abdominal Wall

    • The internal thoracic artery continues as the superior epigastric artery and supplies the superior part of the anterolateral abdominal wall.
    • The inferior epigastric artery, a branch of the external iliac artery, also supplies the abdominal wall.
    • The superior epigastric vein runs parallel to the superior epigastric artery, draining the anterolateral abdominal wall.

    Venous Drainage

    • Posterior intercostal veins on the left side drain into the left superior intercostal vein and then into the left brachiocephalic vein.

    Summary of Blood Supply and Nerve Innervation

    • Key arteries providing blood supply to both the breast and thoracic wall include the internal thoracic artery and its branches.
    • Intercostal nerves are the primary source for supplying the intercostal muscles and adjacent structures.
