What is the saphenous vein?

This lung has 3 lobes.
What is the RIGHT lung?

Aortic stenosis (AS) is a reduction in the surface area of the aortic valve resulting in turbulent and decreased flow across the valve. This can best be heard as a murmur at this surface anatomical location.
What is the 2nd intercostal space, right sternal border?
200
The name of this state is usually used to describe the pattern of cardiac sounds associated with an S3 gallop.
What is the state of Kentucky?
200
To best hear stridorous breath sounds, it is best to place your stethoscope in this location.
What is over the neck or supraclavicular area? (since these sounds are from upper airway obstruction)
300
After bifurcating from the distal abdominal aorta, this artery gives rise to the femoral artery.
What is the common iliac artery?
300
The trachea branches into the LEFT and RIGHT mainstem bronchi. This bronchus has an acute angle and supplies the upper, middle, and lower lobes.
What is the RIGHT mainstem bronchus?
300
The mitral valve is known to occasionally have a structural abnormality known as Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP). When the valve prolapses, into which chamber does the mitral valve prolapse?
What is the LEFT atrium?
300
The S1 sounds is created by the nearly simultaneous closing of these two cardiac valves.
What are the mitral and tricuspid valves?
300
These lung sounds produce a crackle-like sounds on deep inspiration, but resolve after a few breaths.
What are atelectatic crackles?
400
As blood flows out of the left ventricle of the heart, the first 3 branches off of the aortic arch are which vessels (in order)?
What are the innominate artery (also known as the brachiocephalic artery), the left common carotid artery (CCA) the left subclavian artery.
400
This pleural lining covers the outside of the lungs.
What is the visceral pleura?
400
This is the most common genetic cardiac valve abnormality.
What is bicuspid aortic valve? 2% of the population has a BAV.

Crackle lung sounds at the bases of the lungs in congestive heart failure are caused by this mechanism of action?
What is the opening of alveolar structures that have excess fluid causing their collapse?

This vessel gives rise to the RIGHT common carotid artery.
What is the innominate or brachiocephalic artery?
500
In the midaxillary plane, the lungs extend down to the level of these ribs
What are the 7th or 8th rib?

Typical systolic murmurs are usually caused by which valvular pathology.
What is aortic stenosis/sclerosis and mitral regurgitation?
500
This sound originating from a heart valve may be mistaken for a bruit in the carotid arteries.
What is the radiation of the systolic murmur of aortic stenosis/sclerosis?
500
The wheezing lung sounds of an chronic emphysema are best heard in this phase of the respiratory cycle.
What is expiration? since this is a disease of air trapping and expiratory dysfunction
