visceral

144
Q

The right bronchial artery comes off the (blank) branch but it is still considered a visceral branch.

A

parietal

145
Q

Once you are below the diaphragm the aorta gives off arteries called (blank)

A

subcostal

146
Q

The azygos system is unpaired and drains the (blank)

A

body wall, esophagus and bronchial veins

147
Q

The azygos system is unpaired and drains the body wall, esophagus and bronchial veins. It ultimately drains into the SVC by arching over the root of the lung on the (blank).

A

right

148
Q

Both the azygos and hemiazygos veins communicate with the abdominal cavity via direct connection to the (blank) . More importantly, the azygos system connects to the portal system indirectly through the (blank)

A

ascending lumbar veins

esophageal venous plexus.

149
Q

arch of azygos is on which side?

A

the right

150
Q

Where will you find the accessory hemiazygous?

The hemiazygous?

A

8th rib and up

9th rib and down

151
Q

there is a lot of variability within the azygous/hemiazygous/accessory system. SO sometimes you do not have an accessory or hemiazgous so what do you do?

A

intercostals on the left will jump over the midline and go into the azygous system on the right side

152
Q

If you have portal hypertension what does you azygous system allow for?

A

it allows for collateral flow so you can dialate these vessels and allow for blood to flow out of the liver into the azygos system to reduce your portal hypertension

153
Q

The lower esophagus has a significant number of veins called the (blank)

A

submucousal venous plexus

154
Q

Plexus of veins close to the internal surface of the esophagus are Clinically significant because dilated vessels from portal hypertension can be (blanK)

A

ruptured easily and bleed extensively.

155
Q

Does the arch of azygos run superior to the root of the lung?

A

yes

156
Q

What is the thoracic duct sandwiched between?

A

the descending aorta and the esophagus

157
Q

The thoracic duct ultimately receives the lymph from the entire body except the (blank) of the chest and the (blank) .

A

upper right quadrant

right side of the head

158
Q

The thoracic duct lies between the esophagus and the thoracic aorta as it passes from its origin, just inferior to the diaphragm, to its point of emptying into the venous system at the junction of the (blank).

A

left internal jugular and the left subclavian vein

159
Q

Flow in the thoracic duct is facilitated by (blank) created through respiration.

A

pressure changes

160
Q

Where is the origin of the thoracic duct?

A

just inferior to the diaphragm
