Thorax

Review of literature Thorax is a composed of many integrated systems including the muscles, bones and other soft tissues organ systems, the biomechanics of which, impart the thorax a high mechanical resistance to injury, mainly due to distinctive elastic properties of the rib and spine system supported by muscles. So, understanding the complex mechanics of the thorax is critical for understanding the vast multiplex of injuries sustained in various different circumstances. Anatomy The skeleton

I reviewed the fact that given the current ultrasound findings with the pressure from the abdomen on the thorax this would most likely lead to pulmonary hypoplasia. Given the current images I could not appropriately tell her where the cyst was arising from with suspicions to be something in the GI tract, bladder, or less likely coming from the thorax itself. We spoke with her about the possibility of draining the area to get better visualization of the intraabdominal contents

Ectopia cordis is a rare disease that it is the abnormal position of the heart outside the thorax associated with defects in the parietal pericardium, diaphragm, sternum, and, in most cases, cardiac malformations As of 2001, 267 patients have been reported 102 (39.2%) of the thoracic type and 99 (38%) of the thoracoabdominal type. Ninety percent of the infants died in the first year of life. Cases of the cervical type rarely survive a single day. Most (95%) newborns have associated cardiac malformations

Exam/Projections: PA Chest Critique: • This is a proper radiograph and meets all evaluation criteria. • All desired anatomy is demonstrated such as lungs, apices, and costophrenic angles. • The scapula does not overlap the lung field. • The right and left sternal ends of the clavicles are the same distance from the center line of the spine thus ensuring no rotation and good positioning. • It shows a minimum of ten pairs of posterior ribs. • The radiograph displays exposure at the end of 2nd

1 build a relationship with your doctor 2.1 Significance in personal life: It is very useful in our personal life as physical examination includes all the basic assessment which can give you an idea about your own health. It is also very beneficial in terms of assessing your family members when they are in need or sick.

speckled or spotted their colours are usually green and yellow. Slaters vary in colour and pattern between individual, in the same species. Slaters in New Zealand range from 17mm in length to 2cm. Their bodies are divided into three sections: head, thorax and abdomen. Their head is very small, and although they have two pairs of antennas, but only one pair is seen. The pair of antennas that are not seen have chemosensory function, which allows them to smell and taste. The second pair of antennas that’s

The air flow will control how quickly the diaphragm goes up. The rebounding (equilibrium) forces also activated when lung-thorax unit is compressed. Their needs to be a maintained airflow and subglottal pressure. Use inspiratory muscles to control air flow coming out at first. Still contracts the diaphragm and controls how quickly it goes up. Still contracts the external intercostals
