Pulmonary
This percussion sound is expected over normal healthy lung tissue.
Resonance
Loss of sensation at the level of the umbilicus corresponds to this thoracic dermatome.
What is T10?
his fluid enters the lymphatic vessels from the tissues and is eventually returned to the cardiovascular system.
What is interstitial fluid (lymph)?
This phase of the cardiac cycle involves ventricular contraction and ejection of blood.
What is systole?
Thoracic pain that becomes worse or is reproduced with movement is more consistent with this type of condition.
What is musculoskeletal pathology?
During tactile fremitus testing, vibration is noticeably increased over one lung field. This finding suggests this process in the lung.
what is consolidation
This ascending sensory pathway carries pain information.
What is the neospinothalamic tract?
Unlike the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system has no central pump. These two processes help move lymph through the body.
What are movement and breathing?
This valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle and contains two leaflets.
What is the mitral/bicuspid valve?
This thoracic condition involves dysfunction of the thoracolumbar region and produces pain that is not dermatomal.
What is Maigne’s syndrome?
A patient presents with bronchospasm, wheezing, air trapping, and decreased chest excursion. Fremitus and percussion remain normal.
A patient demonstrates weakness with increased tone/spasticity. This pattern indicates involvement of this type of motor neuron.
What is an upper motor neuron?
A clinician palpates lymph nodes associated with drainage from the arm and breast. Which major group is being examined?
What are the axillary lymph nodes?
“LUB” occurs at the beginning of systole due to closure of these valves.
What are the AV valves: mitral and tricuspid?
An older patient with osteoporosis develops thoracic pain, forward posture, and decreased AROM. X-ray is used to confirm this condition.
What is a spinal compression fracture?
A patient demonstrates decreased tactile fremitus, decreased chest excursion, and hyperresonance. The underlying pathology involves destruction of the alveoli and air trapping.
What is emphysema
Lymph from most of the body travels through the thoracic duct before entering this vein.
What is the left subclavian vein?
Lymph from most of the body enters this major duct before draining into the left subclavian vein.
What is the thoracic duct?
This abnormal heart sound occurs during early diastole, is associated with increased filling pressure, and is heard loudest at the apex.
What is s3
Pain, numbness, and weakness associated with pathology most commonly between T8–T12 should raise suspicion for this condition. MRI is used for diagnosis.
What is a thoracic disc herniation?
A patient has productive cough and crackles. Examination reveals increased tactile fremitus and percussion findings consistent with consolidation. The underlying pathology involves fluid filling the alveoli.
What is pneumonia?
The upper right portion of the body does NOT drain through the thoracic duct. Instead, lymph travels through the right lymphatic trunk and enters here.
What is the right subclavian vein?
During a lymphatic examination, several small, mobile lymph nodes are palpable. There are no other concerning findings. According to the study guide, how should this finding generally be interpreted?
What is no clinical significance / may be a normal finding?
A patient has an elevated central venous pressure. According to the study guide, this finding should increase suspicion for this cardiac condition.
What is right heart failure?
A patient has thoracic pain with local tenderness, neurologic symptoms, and painful spinal percussion. Which serious pathology should be considered?
Answer:
What is a spinal tumor?
