B3 Thoracic Anatomy: Heart, Mediastinum & Lungs — Complete DPT Study Guide

Product Description

Master the anatomy of the thorax without jumping between lecture slides, textbooks, and scattered notes.

The B3 Thoracic Anatomy: Heart, Mediastinum & Lungs Study Guide is a comprehensive, one-stop study resource designed specifically for DPT students. It brings together the major anatomical structures, relationships, vessels, nerves, bones, and muscles of the thorax into one organized and easy-to-review guide.

Instead of simply memorizing structures, this guide emphasizes anatomical relationships, functional anatomy, clinical relevance, and application-based reasoning to help you prepare for anatomy exams, practicals, and DPT-style questions.

Inside the guide:

• Thoracic cage, ribs, sternum, vertebrae, and important landmarks
• Pump-handle and bucket-handle rib mechanics
• Diaphragm, intercostals, and accessory respiratory muscles
• Intercostal nerves, arteries, veins, and the VAN relationship
• Azygos, hemiazygos, and accessory hemiazygos systems
• Superior, anterior, middle, and posterior mediastinum
• Heart chambers, surfaces, borders, valves, and internal anatomy
• Coronary arteries, cardiac veins, and coronary dominance
• Cardiac conduction and autonomic innervation
• Aorta, pulmonary vessels, SVC, IVC, and other great vessels
• Lung lobes, fissures, surfaces, hilum, and bronchial tree
• Bronchopulmonary segments and lung-root relationships
• Visceral and parietal pleura
• Phrenic, vagus, sympathetic, and recurrent laryngeal nerves
• Diaphragm openings and the T8–T10–T12 rule
• High-yield relationships including VAN and RALS
• Surface anatomy and clinically relevant DPT connections
• Rapid-review tables and memory rules
• 20-question application-based cumulative exam
• Complete answer key with explanations and rationales

Created for DPT students by a DPT student, this guide is designed to turn one of the most detail-heavy anatomy units into a structured resource you can actually study from.

Learn it. Visualize it. Apply it. Practice it. Review it.
