Q

Where is the thymus found and what is its innervation and blood supply?

A
  • It is found behind the manubrium covered by the pleura of the lungs.
  • Blood supply is the anterior mediastinal artery from the internal thoracic artery, and inferior thyroid
  • Parasymphathetic comes from vagus
  • Sympathetic comes from the cardiac sympathetic plexus
