Where do the intercostal nerves “branch from”?
Each thoracic spinal nerve emerges from the intervertebal foramen and divides into a dorsal and a ventral ramus. The ventral ramus continues as the intercostal nerve of the space.
Where do the intercostal arteries branch from?
Posterior –> come from aorta
anterior –> come from internal thoracic arterW
What vessels arise from the pulmonary trunk?
Right and Left pulmonary arteries
What are the anterior and inferior structures at the hilum of each lung?

Return oxygenated blood from the blood-gas interface ot the left arium via the hilum of each lung where they are situated naterir and inferior tothe othe rhilar stuctures.
What system to the Bronchial viens run into?
Drain into the azygous vein.
RIght side directly drain.
Left side typically drian into the hemiazygos or accessry hemiazygos vein.
Where do the Bronchial arteries come from? What do they supply?
The left bronchial arteries arise from the descending thoracic aorta.
Righ bronchial artery normally do as well.
Sometimes they arise from righ posterior intercostal branch of descending thoracic aorta.
Supply the hilar structures, supporting tissues and visceral pleura, but there is overlap with branches of pulmonary artery.
The thoracic duct pierces the diaphragm at what level and with what other structure?
Pierces at the level of T12 with the aorta.
It originates in the abdomen and passes through the aortic hiatus in the diaphragm into the posterior mediastinum where it ascends between the oesophagus anteriorly and vertebral column posteriorly.

What coronary artery runs in the anterior atrioventricula sulcus?
The right coronary artery
Emerges on to the front of the heart and runs down in the anterior atrioventicular sulcus supplying right atrium and ventricle
What artery runs in the posterior atrioventricular sulcus?
The circumflex artery
branch of the left coronary artery which turns onto the back of the heart and into the posterior atrioventricular groove.
Which vessel entering the right atrium has a rudimentary valve?
THe IVC
THe SVC does NOT
