35
Q

Describe the course of the mediastinum and what obliques it cranially & caudally, respectively?

A

Runs obliquely craniocaudally from right to left.
- Ventral cranial mediastinum slightly to RIGHT due to left cranial lung extension across midline
- Caudal mediastinum is to LEFT of midline due to extension of accessory lung lobe

Longitudinally into the dorsal, middle, and large ventral nasal meatus

48
Q

What are the communications and separations between the frontal and maxillary sinuses?

A
