suprarenal gland
endocrine organ
secretions of suprarenal gland
cortisol aldosterone androgens epinephrine norepinephrine
location of suprarenal gland
primary retroperitoneal
superior pole of kidney
-between kidney and crura of diaphragm
separrated fro kidney by thin septum
shape of right suprarenal gland
pyramidal shaped
shape of left suprarenal gland
crescent shaped
cortex of suprarenal gland
production of sterods
-glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids
medulla of suprarenal gland
postganglionic sympathetic nurons
secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine
arterial supply of suprarenal gland
superior - inferior phrenic a
middle- aorta
inferior - renal a
venous drainage of suprarenal gland
suprarenal vein
right directly to IVC
left joined by inferior phrenic vein before draining to IVC
lymph drainage of suprarenal glands
to lumbar lymph nodes
function of diaphragm
respiration
contraction - decreases intrathoracic pressure and increases intraabdominal pressure
features of diaphragm
superior convex, inferior concave
-right and left domes
can reach 5th rib during expiration
structure of diaphragm
3 leaves - right, left, central (form central tendon)
-attached to pericardium via pericardiacphrenic ligament
sternal portion of diaphragm
small anterior portion
-attaches to xiphoid process to central tendon
costal portion of diaphragm
largest lateral portion
-internal surfaces of ribs 7-12 to central tendon
lumbar portion of diaphragm
right crus - to LV1-LV3
left crus - to LV1-LV2
right crus forms esophageal hiatus
left is smaller and blends with the right crus
median arcuate ligament
tendinous arch between left and right crura
-forms aortic hiatus
level of aortic hiatus
TV12
formed between right and left crus and is bound by the median arcuate ligament
medial arcuate ligament
tendinous arch spanning from transverse process of LV1 to 12th rib
arches over quadratus lumborum
lumbocostal triangle
area of muscular weakness between costal and lumbar portion of diaphragm
-common site of abdominal viscera to herniate through diaphragm to the thorax
thoroperitoneal membrane
caval hiatus
TV8
within central tendon
-transmits inferior vena cava and right phrenic n.
esophageal hiatus
at TV10
passes through right crus
-transmits esophagus, anterior/posterior vagal trunks, branches of left gastric artery
aortic hiatus
at TV12
passes betwen left and right crus
transmits aorta and thoracic duct
motor innervation of diaphragm**
motor - C345 - phrenic nerve
