What does the thoracic cavity contain?
Lungs, heart, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and lymphatic system
Name the 4 components of the bony thoracic cavity:
Sternum
2 Clavicles
12 Ribs
12 Vertebrae
List the respiratory system structures:
- Pharynx
-Trachea
-Bronchi
-Rt & Lft Lungs
What are the 3 divisions of the pharynx?
Where is it located?
nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx
anterior to vertebra & posterior to mouth, nose and larynx
Where is the trachea located?
in midline, anterior to esophagus
The mediastinum contains the:
All thoracic organs except the lungs and pleurae
The lungs are made of highly elastic substance called:
Parenchyma
Importance of placing a patient in erect position (lungs)
- Prevents engorgement of pulmonary vessels
-Depress diaphragm (at lowest point)
- Air-fluid levels
- Prevents magnification of the heart

Demos lung apices
Actelectasis
A collapsed or airless state of all or part of the lung
Pneumonia
, Acute infection of the lung parenchyma
Pneumothorax

Peritoneum
Double-layered membrane encloses abdominopelvic cavity
Inner Layer - visceral peritoneum
Outer Layer- parietal peritoneum
Paritoneal Folds
Mesentery & omenta
- supports the viscera
Peritoneal Cavity
space between the parietal and visceral peritoneum, contains serous fluid
Retroperitoneum
Space behind peritoneum
- kidneys and pancreas lie in this space
The iliac crest lies at the level of which two vertebrae?
