drains lung tissue and visceral pleura into the bronchopulmonary (hilar) lymph nodes
superficial lymphatic plexus
drains structures that form the root of the lung into the pulmonary lymph nodes along the lobar bronchi
deep lymphatic plexus
where is the superficial plexus located?
deep to the visceral pleura
where is the deep lymphatic plexus loacted?
in the submucosa of the bronchi and connective tissue
path of lymph from bronchopulmonary lymph nodes
s. and i. Tracheobronchial lymph nodes, to bronchomediastinal lymph trunks and out the right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct (left)
negative pressure in pleural cavity and surface tension between pleural levels causes
inhalation
diaphragm moves one vertebral level in
quiet respiration
diaphragm moves two levels in
full respiration
lesion to phrenic n. causes paralysis of dome you’d notice in
inspiration, not exhalation
why do the lungs enlarge, instead of the pleural cavity
surface tension of fluid between pleural layers causing them to stick together
muscles in deep inspiration or controlled exhalation
quadratus lumborum, intercostals, scalenes, serratus posterior superior, SCM
muscles in deep expiration
serratus posteior inferior, internal and innermost intercostals, transversus thoracis
anything that compromises the negative pressure in the pleural cavity, which can cause the lung to collapse.
pneumothorax
contents of posterior mediastinum
esophagus, esophageal plexus, descending aorta, thoracic duct
esophagus is ____ and to the ____ of the descending aorta
anterior, to the right
azygous system is ____ to the esophagus and ascending aorta
posterior
greater splanchnic nerve runs ____ from the sympathetic chain toward the posterior mediastinum, and ____ toward the diaphragm
anteriorly, inferiorly
blood supply to cervical esophagus
inferior thyroid artery (branch of thyrocervical trunk)
blood supply to thoracic esophagus
branches from descending thoracic aorta
blood supply to abdominal esophagus
left gastric artery
azygous system drains into
SVC
paired branches of descending aorta in order
bronchial arteries, mediastinal arteries, esophageal arteries, pericardial arteries, superior phrenic
emerge from the intervertebral foramina of thoracic vertebra and run in the intercostal space just inferior to a rib
intercostal nerves
carries lymph from lower body, left upper limb, left thorax, left head and neck
thoracic duct
