Abdomen Lymph/ANS Flashcards
Describe the superficial lymphatic drainage of the abdominal wall
above umbilicus to axillary
below umbilicus to superficial inguinal
What is the deep drainage of the abdominal wall
drain to external iliac, common iliac, and R/L lumbar nodes
How are preaortic nodes named
based on the vessel they are located by
What are intestinal and lumbar lymphatic trunks formed from
intestinal: preaortic nodes
lumbar: iliac, lateral aortic nodes, retroaortic
Where will both lumbar and intestinal lymphatic trunks drain
cisternae chyli
Where does the cisternae chyli drain
thoracic duct
What are the terminal nodes of the abdomen
celiac SMA IMA iliac Superficial inguinal lumbar
What will celiac nodes receive lymph from
foregut: gastric, hepatic, pancreosplenic
What will superior mesenteric nodes receive lymph from
midgut: mesenteric, iliocolic, right colic, and middle colic
What will inferior mesenteric nodes receive lymph from
left colic, sigmoid, and superior rectal nodes
Where will lymph from the testicles and ovaries drain
lumbar
para aortic/lateral aortic
Where will lymph from the scrotum and labia major drain
superficial inguinal
What will drain to the lumbar nodes
kidney
abdominal part of ureter
suprarenal
What is the function of sympathetics in the body wall
supply sweat glands of the skin and erector pilae for goosebumps
Where do organs of the abdomen receive postganglionic sympathetic axons from
pre-aortic ganglia
