Structure Of thoracic Wall
Sternum Manubrium Body of sternum: Manibriusternal joint Xipibhisternal joint Sternal angle Xiphoid process
Ribs Total 12 pair of ribs True ribs: upper 7 False: 8,9,10th ribs Floating ribs: 11,12 ribs Typical rib:Costal Groove,head,neck, tubercle shaft,angle Atypical rib: 1st rib
Thoracic outlet Opening at root of neck. Oesophagus , trachea and blood vessels pass through it Thoracic outlet
Endothoracic fascia Loose connective tissue Separate parietal pleura from thoracic wall Endothoracic fascia
Intercostal muscles (3 types) External intercostal muscle: Fibers directed downward and forward From inferior border of rib above to superior border of rib below Aponerosis: Ant.(external) intercostal membrane
2. Internal intercostal muscle Intermediate layer Fibers directed downward and backward From subcostal groove of rib above to upper border of rib below Aponeurosis: post. (internal) intercostal membrane
3.Innermost Intercostal muscle Deepest layer Corresponds to transversus abdominis in abdominal wall Croses more than one intercostal space Related to endothoracic fascia. Blood vessels,nerves pass between intermediate and deepest layer.
Respiration mechanism: Action Supply Inter costal nerves Intercostal Arteries and veins: Post. Intercostal arteries Ant. intercostal veins
Diaphragm
Origin of diaphragm Thin muscular tendinous septum,separate chest cavity above from abdominal cavity. Sternl part:arises from post. Surface of xiphoid process Costal Part:arise from deep surface of lower six ribs and costal cartilage. Verterbral part:arises from vertebral column nd arcuate ligament. Inserted into central tendon Rt.dome: upper border of 5th rib Lt. dome: lower border of5th rib
Diaphragm Muscle of Inspiration Muscle of Abdominal Straining Nerve/Action Function Motor nerves: rt,lt. phrenic nerves C3,4,5 Sensory nerves: Phrenic nerve and lower six intercostal nerves Action:On contraction, diaphragm pulls down central tendon and inc. vertical diameter of thorax. Muscle of Inspiration Muscle of Abdominal Straining Weight lifting muscle Thoracoabdominal pump
