Lung Anatomy
-
Autonomic nerves
-
-
Cardiac, pulmonary and esophageal plexuses contain both types, collecting and dispersing to thoracic viscera
Sympa: inhibit para, allow bronchodilation and reduce secretions, vasodilators
Para: Constricts bronchi and promotes secretions, vasodilator
Phrenic Nerves
-
-
Left
Lateral to left vagus, follow left brachiocephalic vein, continues to descen through left side of pericardium anterior to root of left lung, reach diaphragm near apex of heart
Right
Lateral to right vagus, follows R brachiocephalic vein and then SVC, continues down right side of heart anterior to root of R lung and to the diaphragm
-
Clinical
Thoracentesis
-
-
Situp (accummulate fluid at costodiaphragmatic recess), expire, insert needle at 9th IC space in midaxillary line to avoid inferior border of lung
Chest tube
removal of air, blood, serous fluid, pus or any combo in pleural cavity
Short incision mad ein 5th or 6th IC space in midaxillary line, tube directed superiorly for air removal, inferiorly for fluid drainage
-
-
Pleuritis (pleurisy)
inflammation of pleura, make lung surfaces rough, friction
-
-
-
Hemoptysis
-
-
bronchitis, lung cancer, penumonia, bronchietasis, pulmonary embolism and tuberculosis
-

-
Lungs
-
Lobes and fissures
Right
3 lobes (superior, middle, inferior) and 2 fissures (horizontal (aka minor) and oblique (aka major)
Left
-
Has little lungula (tongue) that represents a small lobular extension that covers over apex of heart
Cardiac notch is superior to the lingula, where the heart is contained
access to lungs for surgery normal through 5th intercostal space, where major lung fissures can be found
Impressions
Right lung has impression of heart, SVC and esophagus
Left has heart, aortic arch and thoracic aorta on the medial surface
First ribs, subclavian arteries and subclavian veins leave impressions near apex of lungs
Trachea and Bronchi
splits near level of sternal angle to right and left mainstem bronchi, where cartilage becomes V shape at the bifurcation as is called carina
Right main stem bronchus is wider, longer and descends more vertically
-
-
Trachea > R/L main bronchus > lobar (secondary) bronchi > segmental (tertiary) bronchi > conducting bronchiole > terminal bronchiole > respiratory bronchioles > alveolar ducts > alveolus
Segmentation
Bronchi and PA follow ea other out into segments, while PV are intersegmental and cross segments when exiting lung tissue
-
Vasculature
R/L Pulmonary artery > secondary lobar arteries > tertiary segmental arteries > alveolar capillary plexus > lobal veins > superior/inferior pulmonary vein
one bronchus and lobar artery per lobe, one tertiary artery and bronchus serve each broncho-pulmonary segment of lung
Bronchial
Bronchial arteries
2L (directly from thoracic aorta) and one R (commonly from right 3 posterior intercostal artery, sometimes aorta)
provides to upper esophagus, then posterior aspects of main bronchi, supplying all the way to distal parts, and then anastomose with branches of pulmonary arteries
Bronchial veins
drain part of blood supplied to lungs by bronchial arteries, primarily for more proximal parts of lungs
-
-
right to azygous vein, left to accessory hemi-azygous vein
-
Thoracic wall structures
-
-
Ribs
-
-
-
Typical ribs (3rd -9th)
Head
wedge shaped with two facets (separated by crest of head)
one facet for articulating with same numbered VB and one for the vertebrae superior to it (inferior and superior facet)
-
-
Tubercle
Smooth articular part articulates with corresponding TP, and a rough non-articular part that provides attachment for costotransverse ligament
Body
Thin, flat and curved (most markedly at costal angle)
-
Atypical (1,2 and 10-12)
1st
Broadest, shortest, most sharply curved
-
-
Grooves separated by scalene tubercle and ridge, to which anterior scalene muscle is attached
2nd
Thinner, less curved and substantially longer than 1st
-
Main feature: rough area on upper surface, the tuberosity for serratus anterior, from which part of the muscle originates
-
Joints
Joints of heads
attach with superior costal facet of corresponding VB and with inferior costal facet of superior VB, and also articulates with IV disc
Crest of head attaches to IV disc by intra-articular ligament of head of rib within the joint
- Divide enclosed space into two synovial cavities
Fibrous layer of joint strongest anteriorly, where it forms a radiate ligament of head of rib that fans out from anterior margin of head of rib to sides of the two VBs/
So close that only slight gliding movements occur, but small movemnets at joints may produce relatively large movement at distal end
Costotransverse joints
costotransverse ligament pass from neck of rib to TP and a lateral costotransverse ligament passing from tubercle of rib to tip of TP
- strengthens AP aspects of joints respectively
- separated by the costovertebral joint
Superior costotransverse ligament joins crest of neck of rib to the TP superior to it
- aperture between this and VB allows spinal nerve and posterior intercostal artery to pass through
-
-
Superior 6 ribs articulate around convex TP -> rotation (pump handle motion, rotatiing around the VB, shifts sternum superior anteriorly)
7th to 10th have flatter articular surface of tubercles and TP:
Only glides (slight rotation with movement up and down facet and sternum notch
-
Costal line of pleural reflection passes obliquely across 8th rib in MCL, 10th in MAL and 12th posteriorly.
Pleura i in danger of damage where it descends inferior to the costal margin by an abdominal incision, which occurs at:
- right part of infrasternal angle (above the clavicle, affecting apex of the lung)
- R and L costovertebral angles (inferomedial to the 12th rib at the posterior)
Mediastinum
Superior
Thymus, SVC, aorta arch, trachea, esophagus, phrenic and vagus n., thoracic duct
Anterior
Thymus, lymph nodes and interior thoracic vessels
Middle
Heart, vagus nerves, branches from sympathetic branch and phrenic nerves
Posterior
Esophagus, thoracic aorta, azygos and hemiazygos veins and the thoracic duct
thoracic aorta -> internal intercostal a. (posterior) which connects to the anterior internal intercostal a. from internal thoracic a.
Azygous from intercostal veins on the right, hemiazygous from the left, and drains into SVC
Nerves of thoracic wall
Typical
3rd - 6th intercostal nerves enter medial most parts of posterior intercostal spaces, running between parietal pleura and internal intercostal muscles
Near angles of ribs, nerves pass between internal intercostal and innermost, and pass to or just inferior to costal grooves
-
Nerves continue anteriorly, supplying intercostal and other muscles, gives rise to lateral cutaneous branch in approx midaxillary line (that breaks into anterior and posterior branches, supplying skin or lateral thoracic and abdominal walls)
Near sternum, nerves turn anteriorly, becoming anterior cutaneous branches (supply skin on anterior aspect of thorax and abdomen)
-
Muscular branches supply intercostal, subcostal, transversus thoracis, levatores costarum and serratus posterior muscles
-
-
Surface Anatomy
Bony landmarks
Jugular Notch:
Most superior, middle part of sternum
-
-
Xiphoid process: lies in slight depression, the epigastric fossa (CPR)
-
Breast tissue
modified sweat glands, fascia and adipose
-
-
-
mammary glands consist of ducts, lobules (bigger when lactating, smaller when not; multiple lobules on a duct, w multiple ducts) and travels to a dilated portion deep to areola: sinuses, and goes to the nipple
-
Bed of breast: inferior to breast tissue, 2/3 pectoral fascia and 1/3 serratus anterior
Between breast and pectoral fascia: retromammary space that contains small amount of fats, give breasts some degree of movement
Areolae contain subaceous glands, which enlarge during pregnancy and secrete an oily substance to lubricate
