Study Notes
Thorax and Abdomen
- The thorax is the body region between the neck and abdomen.
- The abdomen contains the digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
Ribs
- The first rib is the shortest, broadest, and most curved of the twelve ribs.
- It's considered atypical due to unique features.
- It's an important anatomical landmark.
- Ribs form the thoracic cage.
- Ribs aid in breathing by changing the size of the thoracic cavity.
- Ribs protect thoracic organs.
- Ribs provide attachment points for muscles.
Tubercle Orientation
- The rib tubercle is located on the posterior surface of each rib.
- It's positioned laterally, just below the rib's neck.
- It has an articular part (smooth and oval).
- The non-articular part is rough for ligament attachment.
Subcostal Muscles
- Located in the posterior thoracic wall.
- Play a role in respiration.
- Origin: Internal surfaces of lower ribs (7th to 10th).
- Insertion: Internal surfaces of ribs two to three levels below origin.
- Function: Depress ribs during forced exhalation.
- Assist in reducing thoracic volume.
- Nerve supply: Adjacent intercostal nerves.
Innervation and Function
- Innervated by adjacent intercostal nerves (anterior rami of thoracic nerves).
- Muscles play a role in respiration, pulling ribs inferiorly during forced exhalation.
- Supporting intercostal spaces and thoracic cage.
Thymus Gland
- Located in the upper chest, behind the breastbone (sternum).
- Located between the lungs in the mediastinum.
- Located in front of and above the heart.
- Single gland.
Other Topics (from subsequent pages)
- Esophagus layers (mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, adventitia)
- Heart location of the tricuspid valve.
- Right coronary artery branches
- Anterior ventricular branches
- Right marginal artery
- Sinoatrial nodal artery (present in 55-60% of individuals)
- Atrioventricular nodal artery (present in 90% of individuals)
- Rectus Abdominis muscle
- Function is to move the body between the ribcage and the pelvis.
- Iliacus muscle
- Part of the iliopsoas group
- Originates from the iliac fossa and anterior sacroiliac ligaments
- Inserts at lesser trochanter of the femur (via psoas tendon).
- Body of the pancreas, head, neck, tail, lateral branches of the aorta, intercostal arteries, renal arteries, gonadal arteries, lumbar arteries.
- Descending colon location, length, and function.
- Kidney description (size, shape, location, internal structure, protective fat layers).
- Lymph nodes (cervical, axillary, inguinal, para-aortic (lumbar), celiac nodes). Their roles in the lymphatic system, draining lymph from specific body regions, filtering lymph fluid, and immune responses.
