Q

What is the mediastinum?

A

The cleft or wall between the right and left mediastinal pleura. Near the median thoracic plane, it divides the thorax into two cavities. The thoracic organs, other than the lungs, (heart, oesophagus, trachea, aorta, and thymus) help form the mediastinum.

Q

What is a synchronous diaphragmatic flutter? What nerve is related?

Q

What is the ansa subclavia?

A

The loop made by the cervical sympathetic trunk as it divides to pass on either side of the subclavian artery at the thoracic inlet. Forms a loop around the subclavian artery.

40
Q

Stellate ganglion

A

Most of the cardiac sympathetic fibres from the upper thoracic segments of the spinal cord in the dog ascend the paravertebral chains and funnel through the stellate ganglia. The cardiac sympathetic fibers pass through the dorsal or ventral limb of the ansa subclavia, and they converge at the caudal cervical ganglion.
