Term
Cervical Spinal Nerves
Definition
- Divide into large ventral and small dorsal branches. All but no 1 pass through the intervertebral foramen.
Term
Second Cervical Spinal nerve
Definition
- Ventral it Branches into the great auricular nerve and the transverse cervical nerve
- Emerges between mastoid part of cleidocephalicus m. and omotransversarius m.
- palatable at the wing of the atlas
- Great auricular nerve supplies the skin of the neck, ear, back of the head.
- Transverse cervical nerve supplies the cranioventral part of the neck.
Term
Superficial Cervical Lymph node

- deep to omotransversarius m.
Term
Accessory Nerve or CN XI

- emerges from the neck, crosses 2nd cervical spinal nerve, runs along dorsal omotransversarius m, terminates in the trapezius
Term
Dorsal intercostal artery branches
Definition
- enter epaxial muscles
- The first three dorsal intercostal arteries come from a branch of the costocervical trunk
- The remaining 9 come from the aorta
Term
Ventral intercostal artery branches
Definition
- descend along the caudal border of the ribs
- from internal thoracic artery
Term
Intercostal nerves
Definition
- lateral and ventral cutaneous branches go to muscles
- First 12 branches of thoracic spinal nerves
-
Term
Lateral cutaneous branches of the arteries, nerves, veins
Definition
- supply the cutaneous muscle, subcutaneous tissue, and skin.
Term
Third, fourth, fifth cervical spinal nerves
Definition
- distributed in a segmental manner to the muscles and skin of the neck
Term
Cranial Thoracic mammae
Definition
- supplied by fourth, fifth, and sixth ventral and lateral cutaneous vessels and nerves and by the branches of the lateral thoracic vessels
Term
Caudal thoracic mammae
Definition
- Supplied by sixith and seventh cutaneous nerves and vessels and mammary branches of cranial superficial epigastric vessels
Term
Axilla
Definition
-space between the thoracic limb and thoracic wall
Term
Lateral thoracic artery/vein/nerve
Definition
- Nerve of cutaneous trunci m.
- Ventral branches of axillary artery and vein supply muscle, skin, and subcutaneous tissue including cranial thoracic mamma
- Emerge from axilla between latissimus dorsi m. and deep pectoral m.
Term
Axillary lymph node
Definition
- drainage of afferent lymph vessels of thoracic wall and deep structures of limb
- Dorsal to deep pectoral m. and caudal to large axillary vein
Term
Transversus thoracis muscle
Definition
- medial ventral portion of ribs
- Fascia is the endothoracic fascia
Term
Endothoracic fascia
Definition
- fascia that surrounds the thoracic cavity
Term
Cranial Epigastric arteries
Definition
- Supplies and terminates in rectus abdominis m.
- terminal Branch of internal thoracic artery
- passes caudally on surface of rectus abdominis m.
- Gives rise to cranial superficial epigastric artery which supplies the skin over rectus abdominus muscle and caudal thoracic and cranial abdominal mammae
Term
Thoracic duct
Definition
- chief channel for returning of lymph from lymphatic capillaries from abdomen, pelvis, pelvic limb, left thoracic limb, and left tracheal trunk and ducts to venous system
- sublumbar region between crura of diaphragm as continuation of cisterna chyli, runs cranially on right dorsal border of thoracic aorta to 5th thoracic vertebrae, then moves to left side of middle mediastinal pleura to left brachiocephalic vein
Term
Phrenic nerves
Definition
- Supply the diaphragm on each side
- Arises from 5th, 6th, and usually 7th cervical nerves
- Passes over the pericardium of the heart on right and left sides
Term
Pleurae
Definition
- serous membranes (simple squamous epithelium)
Term
Pulmonary (visceral) pleura
Definition
- Attached to lungs, follows all irregularities
Term
Parietal pleura
Definition
- divided and described after the region it covers
- costal, diaphragmatic, pericardial meiastinal
Term
Mediastinum
Definition
- Attaches from diaphragm far to the left of the median plane (caudal)
- continuous with mediastinum over heart (middle)
- Covered by double fold of pleura (cranial)
- Consists of heart/great vessels, thymus, esophagus, trachea, nerves and lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels.
Term
Plica vena cavae
Definition
- loose fold of pleura derived from the right caudal mediastinal portion of pleural sac that surrounds the caudal vena cava
Term
Root of the lung
Definition
- Pleura and bronchi, vessels, and nerves entering the lung
- Continuous w/ pulmonary pleura
Term
Pulmonary ligament
Definition
- Free border of connected pleural layers caudal to the hilus of the lung
Term
Thoracic duct
Definition
- chief channel for returning of lymph from lymphatic capillaries from abdomen, pelvis, pelvic limb, left thoracic limb, and left tracheal trunk and ducts to venous system
- sublumbar region between crura of diaphragm as continuation of cisterna chyli, runs cranially on right dorsal border of thoracic aorta to 5th thoracic vertebrae, then moves to left side of middle mediastinal pleura to left brachiocephalic vein
