Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function Posterior Thoracic Cage Thoracic cage is a bony structure with a conical shape, which is narrower at top Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Slide 23-2
3.
Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function Position and surface landmarks Thoracic cage • Defined by sternum, 12 pairs of ribs and 12 thoracic vertebrae • Floor is the diaphragm, a musculotendinous septum that separates thoracic cavity from abdomen • First seven ribs attach to sternum by costal cartilages • Ribs 8, 9, and 10 attach to costal cartilage above • Ribs 11 and 12 are “floating,” with free palpable tips • Costochondral junctions are points at which ribs join their cartilages; they are not palpable Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Slide 18-3

5.
Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Position and surface landmarks (cont.) Anterior thoracic landmarks • Surface landmarks on thorax are signposts for underlying respiratory structures • Knowledge of landmarks will help you localize a finding and will facilitate communication of your findings Suprasternal notch: feel this hollow U-shaped depression just above sternum between clavicles Sternum: “breastbone” has three parts; manubrium, body, and xiphoid process • Walk fingers down manubrium a few centimeters until you feel distinct bony ridge, the manubriosternal angle Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Slide 18-5
6.
Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Position and surface landmarks (cont.) Anterior thoracic landmarks (cont.) • Manubriosternal angle: called “angle of Louis,” at articulation of manubrium and sternum, and continuous with second rib Angle of Louis is useful place to start counting ribs • Identify angle of Louis, palpate lightly to second rib, and slide down to second intercostal space • Each intercostal space is numbered by rib above it • Continue counting ribs in middle of hemithorax, not close to sternum as costal cartilages lie too close to count • You can palpate easily down to the tenth rib Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Slide 18-6
7.
Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Position and surface landmarks (cont.) Anterior thoracic landmarks (cont.) • Angle of Louis also marks site of tracheal bifurcation into right and left main bronchi; corresponds with upper border of atria of the heart, and it lies above fourth thoracic vertebra on back • Costal angle: the right and left costal margins form an angle where they meet at xiphoid process • Usually 90 degrees or less, this angle increases when rib cage is chronically overinflated, as in emphysema Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Slide 18-7

9.
Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Position and surface landmarks (cont.) Posterior thoracic landmarks • Counting ribs and intercostal spaces on back is harder due to muscles and soft tissue surrounding ribs and spinal column • Vertebra prominens: Start here; flex your head and feel for most prominent bony spur protruding at base of neck • This is spinous process of C7; if two bumps seem equally prominent, upper one is C7 and lower one is T1 • Spinous processes: count down these knobs on vertebrae, which stack together to form spinal column Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Slide 18-9
10.
Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Position and surface landmarks (cont.) Posterior thoracic landmarks (cont.) • Note that spinous processes align with their same numbered ribs only down to T4 • After T4, spinous processes angle downward from their vertebral body and overlie vertebral body and rib below • Inferior border of scapula: scapulae are located symmetrically in each hemithorax • Lower tip usually at seventh or eighth rib • Twelfth rib: palpate midway between spine and person’s side to identify its free tip Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Slide 18-10

12.
Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Position and surface landmarks (cont.) Reference lines • Use reference lines to pinpoint finding vertically on chest • On anterior chest note midsternal line and midclavicular line • Midclavicular line bisects center of each clavicle at a point halfway between palpated sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints • Posterior chest wall has vertebral (or midspinal) line and scapular line, which extends through inferior angle of scapula when arms at sides of body Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Slide 18-12
13.
Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Position and surface landmarks (cont.) Reference lines (cont.) • Lift up the person’s arm 90 degrees, and divide lateral chest by three lines: Anterior axillary line: extends down from anterior axillary fold where pectoralis major muscle inserts Posterior axillary line: continues down from posterior axillary fold where latissimus dorsi muscle inserts Midaxillary line: runs down from apex of axilla and lies between and parallel to other two Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Slide 18-13

17.
Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Thoracic cavity Mediastinum: middle section of thoracic cavity containing esophagus, trachea, heart, and great vessels • Right and left pleural cavities, on either side of mediastinum, contain lungs • Lung borders: In anterior chest, apex of lung tissue is 3 or 4 cm above inner third of clavicles • Base rests on diaphragm at about sixth rib in midclavicular line • Laterally, lung tissue extends from apex of axilla down to seventh or eighth rib Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Slide 18-17
18.
Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Thoracic cavity (cont.) Posteriorly, the location of C7 marks apex of lung tissue, and T10 usually corresponds to base • Deep inspiration expands lungs, and their lower border drops to level of T12 Lobes of the lung • Lungs are paired but not precisely symmetric structures • Right lung shorter than left because of underlying liver • Left lung narrower than right because heart bulges to left • Right lung has three lobes, and left lung has two lobes Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Mechanics of respiration (cont.) Body tissues are bathed by blood that normally has a narrow acceptable range of pH • Although a number of compensatory mechanisms regulate pH, lungs help maintain balance by adjusting level of carbon dioxide through respiration • Hypoventilation (slow, shallow breathing) causes carbon dioxide to build up in blood, and hyperventilation (rapid, deep breathing) causes carbon dioxide to be blown off Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Mechanics of respiration (cont.) Control of respirations • Normally our breathing pattern changes without our awareness in response to cellular demands This involuntary control of respirations is mediated by respiratory center in brainstem (pons and medulla) • Major feedback loop is humoral regulation, or change in carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in blood, and, less important, hydrogen ion level • Normal stimulus to breathe for most of us is an increase of carbon dioxide in blood, or hypercapnia • Decrease of oxygen in blood (hypoxemia) also increases respirations but less effective than hypercapnia Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Mechanics of respiration (cont.) Changing chest size • Respiration is the physical act of breathing; air rushes into the lungs as chest size increases (inspiration) and is expelled from lungs as chest recoils (expiration) • Mechanical expansion and contraction of chest cavity alters size of thoracic container in two dimensions Vertical diameter lengthens or shortens, which is accomplished by downward or upward movement of diaphragm Anteroposterior diameter increases or decreases, which is accomplished by elevation or depression of ribs Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Mechanics of respiration (cont.) Changing chest size (cont.) • In inspiration, increasing size of thoracic container creates slightly negative pressure in relation to atmosphere, so air rushes in to fill partial vacuum • Major muscle responsible for this increase is diaphragm • During inspiration, contraction of bell-shaped diaphragm causes it to descend and flatten; this lengthens the vertical diameter • Intercostal muscles lift sternum and elevate ribs, making them more horizontal; this increases anteroposterior diameter Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Structure and Function (cont.) Mechanics of respiration (cont.) Changing chest size (cont.) • Expiration is primarily passive; as diaphragm muscle relaxes, elastic forces within lung, chest cage, and abdomen cause it to dome up • All this squeezing creates a relatively positive pressure within alveoli, and air flows out • Forced inspiration, such as that after heavy exercise or occurring pathologically with respiratory distress, commands use of the accessory neck muscles to heave up sternum and rib cage • These neck muscles are the sternomastoids, scaleni, and the trapezii Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Chapter 18: Thorax
and Lungs Objective Data (cont.) Palpate the posterior chest (cont.) Tactile fremitus (cont.) • Start over lung apices and palpate from one side to another • Fremitus varies among persons but symmetry is most important; vibrations should feel same in corresponding area on each side • However, just between scapulae, fremitus may feel stronger on right side than on left side because right closer to bronchial bifurcation; avoid palpating over scapulae because bone damps out sound transmission Elsevier items and derived items © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
