These aa and vv supply lung tissue

What are the bronchial aa and bronchial vv

100

This artery tends to spasm when used as a graft in a CABG

What is the radial a.?

100

Unlike the internal thoracic aa, the internal thoracic vv drain into

What is the R and L brachiocephalic vv?

Your pt presents to your clinic with complaints of hoarseness and a "burning sensation" in their chest and throat. You immediately have reason to believe this pt is suffering from?

What is a large hiatal hernia?

200

The structures that the lateral cutaneous branches pierce through

What is the internal intercostal mm, external intercostal mm, and serratus anterior mm.?

200

This structure posteriorly arches over the root of the right lung

What is the azygos v?

200

The smooth-walled structure found in the superior aspect of the right ventricle

What is the conus arteriosus?

200

The more lateral artery within the second axillary artery subdivison

What is the lateral thoracic a.?

200

Your patient presents with complaints of an abnormal-looking right breast. You notice that the lymph nodes in the superior lateral quadrant are swollen and her breast appears like an orange peel. You suspect a possible diagnosis and have concerns about metastasis to the lungs via which specific nodes?

What is breast cancer, and via the apical nodes?

300

The transversus thoracis mm continue inferiorly as

What is the transversus abdominis mm.?

300

Most pleural effusion accumulates in what recess during which phase of respiration?

What is the costodiaphragmatic recess during expiration?

300

You are viewing a cadaveric heart. You notice a thin, scar-like structure in the interatrial septum of the right atrium. You appreciate that this structure is what and serves to?

What is the fossa ovale and serves to block right-to-left shunting of blood from the right atrium to left atrium to bypass pulmonary circulation?

300

You are viewing an extremely rare, anomalous spinal cord. You notice that the ventral rami from L2-S2 are fused. Therefore, you can suspect that the functional fiber types found in this collection of ventral rami are

What is motor, sensory, pre-symp, post-symp, and pre-para?

300

You are viewing a CT scan of a patient. You are trying to figure out where the pulmonary trunk is in relation to the ascending aorta at the transverse thoracic plane. You can appreciate that the pulmonary trunk sits where here and then does what

What is bifurcates into R and L pulmonary aa posterior to the ascending aorta but sits left to it?

400

You are viewing what you believe to be a L longissimus m on a cadaver. You know that this muscle attaches to all ribs EXCEPT 

What are ribs 11 and 12 (because they lack rib tubercles)?

400

A patient receives a drug that blocks CN X input to the lungs. What symptoms will they likely experience as a result of this drug?

What is broncodilation, vasoconstriction of pulmonary vessels, and decreased gland secretions?

400

You notice during a US of your pt's heart that there is damage to the septomarginal trabecula. You can expect there to be issues with

What is delayed right ventricular contraction, disrupted conduction to papillary muscles, and reduced mechanical efficiency of RV contraction?

400

The approximate site where posterior intercostal aa anastomose with the anterior intercostal aa

What is the costochondral joint/junction?

400

When viewing a chest X-ray, you notice that the R thoracic cavity appears darker than usual. You are able to see a cluster of white streaks in the R lower parasternal region. You conclude that this patient likely has

What is a RIGHT pneumothorax?

500

In cadaver lab, you see a muscle attaching to: spinous processes of T2–T5 and the medial border of the scapula. You know that this muscle is the what and can predict the scapular position if it is paralyzed.

What is the rhomboid major and paralysis causes lateral displacement (ABduction) and protraction of the scapula with loss of retraction due to loss of medial stabilizing force?

500

A single bronchopulmonary segment be surgically removed without affecting adjacent segments because

What is because the bronchopulmonary segments are anatomically and functionally INDEPENDENT units?

500

A patient presents with hypotension, jugular venous distension, and muffled heart sounds.

  1. The pericardial condition occuring is 

  2. The layer of the pericardium is directly responsible for limiting cardiac expansion is

  3. This condition impairs diastole before systole because

What is 1. cardiac tamponade, 2. fibrous pericardium (non-distensible), and 3. 

  • Tamponade prevents ventricular filling

  • Diastole requires chamber expansion

  • Reduced preload → decreased stroke volume → hypotension

500

You are a RBC travelling up from the R anterior abdominal region. In order to get to the right atrium, you must (SPECIFICALLY) 

What is travel from the R superior epigastric v, to the R internal thoracic v., to the R brachiocephalic v, to the SVC?
