Superior phrenic a.

24
Q

What is the blood supply to the inferior surface of the diaphragm?

A

Inferior Phrenic a.:

Right inferior phrenic a. –> passes posterior to IVC
Left inferior phrenic a. –> passes posterior to esophagus

25
Q

Some branches run with the inferior phrenic a.

26
Q

What is the sensory innervation of the diaphragm

A

Central portion (central tendon): Phrenic n.

Peripheral portion: Intercostal n.

27
Q

Where do the anterior diaphragmatic nodes drain?

A

Anterior diaphragmatic nodes –> PARASTERNAL NODES

28
Q

Where do the posterior diaphragmatic nodes drain?

A

Posterior diaphragmatic nodes –> MEDIASTINAL NODES

29
Q

Where does the lymph of the inferior surface of the diaphragm drain?

A

Celiac nodes

Superior lumbar nodes

30
Q

Describe lymphatic drainage from the Lower extremity, perineum, and gluteal region:

A

31
Q

Describe lymphatic drainage from the body wall:

A

Lumbar lymphatic trunks –> Thoracic duct

32

Enters intestinal lymph trunks –> Thoracic duct

33
Q

Which lymph nodes drain into the Intestinal Lymphatic Trunk?

A

Celiac nodes
Superior Mesenteric nodes
Lumbar nodes

A

SI and ascending and descending colon

Further divided by the mesentery of the SI into right and left infracolic spaces

44
Q

These are the areas between lateral aspects of ascending and descending colon and the posterior abdominal wall and allows for free communication between the supracolic and infracolic compartments

A
