Thoracic Wall Consists of thoracic cage Muscle Fascia
Thoracic Cavity
3 Compartments of the Thorax (Great Vessels) (Heart)
Superior thoracic aperture
Intercostal space
Intercostal vasculature Internal thoracic A Anterior thoracic A Musculophrenic A Posterior intercostal A Superior intercostal A Thoracic aorta Subcostal a.
Veins Internal thoracic vein: internal surface of ribs, lateral to sternum, drains into brachiocephalic v. Anterior thoracic vein: anteriorly between ribs to drain into internal thoracic v. Posterior intercostal veins: travel posteriorly between ribs, 1 st 3 join to form superior intercostal v. Drain into brachiocephalic system, remaining drain azygous system
Intercostal Nerves They are anterior primary rami of spinal thoracic nerves fromt1 to T11 T3 tot6 are Typical T12 is called Subcostal The remaining nerves are called atypical Each nerve runs in Intercostal space inferior to Intercostal vessels

Pleural Membranes VISCERAL PLEURA PARIETAL PLEURA PLEURAL CAVITY (SEROUS FLUID)
Parietal Pleura: four parts Cervical (cupular) costal mediastinal diaphragmatic Why do you tend to feel pain in the parietal pleura and not the visceral pleura?
Cervical pleura Extends up into neck Lines undersurface of suprapleural membrane Reaches level of 2.5-4cm above medial 1/3 of clavicle Costal pleura Lines inner surface of Ribs Costal cartilage Back of sternum Intercostal spaces sides of vertebral bodies
Diaphragmatic pleura Covers thoracic surface of diaphragm Costodiaphragmatic Recess Slit-like space between costal & diaphragmatic parietal pleaura During inspiration, lower margins of lungs descend into recesses During expiration, lower margin of lungs ascend so that costal & diaphragmatic pleurae come together
Mediastinal pleura Covers & forms lateral boundary of mediastinum Continuous with visceral pleura Lungs lie free except at hilum
Costomediastinal Recesses Along anterior margins of pleura Slit-like spaces between costal & mediastinal pleurae During inspiration & expiration, anterior borders of lungs slide in & out of recess
Blood, Nerve & Lymphatic drainage of pleura Blood Supply Nerve Supply Lymphatic Drainage Parietal Pleura 1. post intercostals 2. int thoracic 3. sup intercostals 4. sup phrenic art 2 nd to 12 th i/c n sensory fibres only (pain sensitive) phrenic n drain into adj LN on thoracic wall (axillary nodes) Visceral Pleura 1. bronchial art symph fibres from T2 to T5 (pain insensitive) drain into LN at hilum of lungs
Features of Right & Left Lung
Lobes & fissures : surface anatomy --------------------------------------------------- - Oblique fissure: extends from level of spinous process of T2 vertebra posteriorly to 6 th costal cartilage anteriorly. - Horizontal fissure: begins from anterior border at level of 4 th costal cartilage, runs horizontally to meet oblique fissure at the midaxillary line -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RT lung LT lung -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Fissures 2 ( oblique & horizontal) 1 (oblique ) - Lobes 3 ( superior, middle & inferior) 2 (superior & inferior ) - Cardiac notch absent present - Lingula absent present - Width wider narrower - Length shorter longer - Base more concave less concave - Hilum contains 2 bronchi contains one bronchus

Surface Anatomy Lower border of the lung: Midclavicular line rib 6 Pleura rib 8 Midaxillary line rib 8 Pleura rib 10 Adjacent to vertebral column rib 10 Pleura rib 12 The anterior borders of lungs lie adjacent to the anterior line of parietal pleura reflection as far as the 4 th costal cartilage The left line of pleural reflection moves laterally & inferiorly at cardiac notch to reach level of 6 th costal cartilage Posterior border of the lung: C7 T10 The difference between the lower border of the lung and the lower border of the pleura indicates the costodiaphragmatic recess distance
Trachea R & L principal bronchus Lobular bronchi (secondary) (2L and 3R) Segmental bronchi (tertiary) (8L, 10R) Terminal bronchioles Respiratory bronchioles Alveolar ducts Alveolar sacs Alveoli
Bronchopulmonary segment Right main bronchus R upper lobe bronchus R middle lobe bronchus R lower lobe bronchus Segmental bronchi Segmental bronchi Segmental bronchi Apical Anterior Posterior Medial Lateral Apical Anterior Posterior Medial Lateral
Bronchopulmonary segment Left main bronchus L upper lobe bronchus L lower lobe bronchus Upper branch Lower branch Segmental Anterior Apicoposterior Superior lingular Inferior lingular Apical Anterior Posterior Lateral
Arterial supply of lungs Pulmonary arteries -Give rise to lobar arteries Bronchial arteries supply blood for nutrition of structures that comprise the root of the lung
Venous drainage of lungs Pulmonary veins -Lobar veins drain into pulmonary veins Bronchial veins drain blood in lungs supplied by bronchial arteries -Left bronchial vein - accessory hemiazygos vein (usually) -Right bronchial vein - azygos vein
Innervation of lungs Lungs and visceral pleura -Parasympathetic from Vagus nerve -Sympathetic from sympathetic fibers of sympathetic trunk Parietal pleura from intercostal and phrenic nerves
