not connected to sternum; 11-12
Term
where does VAN run?
Definition
below rib in costal groove, between internal and innermost intercostal muscles
Term
distinguishing characteristics of external IC mm
Definition
tendinous around sternum, fibers run "like hands in pockets", elevates ribs
Term
distinguishing characteristics of internal IC mm
Definition
tendonous around vertebral column, fubers run opposite external IC mm, depress ribs
Term
white ramus communicantes
Definition
runs OUT of spinal nerve to ganglion
Term
gray ramus communicantes
Definition
run from sympathetic chain ganglion INTO spinal nerve
Term
cutaneous branches of IC nn
Definition
lateral cutaneous branch @ midaxillary line
collateral branch @ rib angle
anterior cutaneous branch @ lateral border of the sternum
Term
IC nerves 1, 2
Definition
atypical due to T1's contribution to the brachial plexus
Term
anterior IC aa
Definition
9, from subclavian > internal thoracic (> musculophrenic)
Term
posterior IC aa
Definition
11, from aorta
Term
venous drainage of the thorax
Definition
azygos venous system
Term
blood supply to 1st IC space
Definition
subclavian > costocervial trunk (which has cervical branches and 1 costal branch), AKA "superior intercostal artery"
Term
3 aperatures of the diaphragm
Definition
caval-T8
esophageal-T10
aortic-T12 (azygos v, thoracic duct also pass here)

drain into R,L brachiocephalic veins
Term
ANS and respiration
Definition
sympathetics = adrenergic = T1-T5 = bronchodilation, vasoconstriction
parasympathetic =cholinergic = vagus = bronchoconstriction, vasodilation, increased secretions
Term
afferent nerves of respiratory system
Definition
1. cough reflex- mucosa
2. stretch receptors of alveoli
