What lines the fissures of the lungs

what is the leading cause of death in the neonatal phase? and what is second

where does the azygous vein drain into

Which is sensitive to stretching/pressure, visceral or parietal pleura?
visceral
how many percent of live births have heart anomalies
0.7-0.8%, but could be higher if spontaneously aborted prenatally and anomalies later in life
what are congenital anomalies usually due to
the special prenatal adaptations not being fully adapted for functional lungs at birth
where does the heart lie on the diaphragm
central tendon
where does the phrenic nerve run?
between the parietal pericardium and the parietal pleural sac, anterior to the hilum
where did the diaphragmatic muscles come from?
the cervical region
where does the vagus nerve run?
posterior to the hilum
what is the phrenic nerve accompanied by
the pericardio-phrenic vessels of the internal thoracic vessels.
What do the discrete black nodules seen in the hilar region represent ?
