Thorax & Abdomen Flashcards
Vagus nn
Parasympathetics to kidney walls, heart, foregut, midgut, 2/3 of transverse colon,
Autonomics: Pericardium
Somatic motor/Sens: Pharynx and Larynx via right and left recurrent laryngeal
Plexuses: Pulmonary, esophageal, cardiac
Phrenic nn.
Somatic: Pericardium
Sensory: mediastinum, diaphragm
Motor: diaphragm
Intercostal nn.
T1-T11, run in costal grooves
Runs between internal and innermost intercostal mm
Collateral branch runs thru inferior costal groove
Sensory of parietal pleura
Subcostal n
T12, Rib 12
Collateral branch inferior margin btwn internal and innermost IC mm
Pulmonary Plexuses
Mixed fibers from Vagus (parasymp, bronchoconstriction, gland secretion) and Cardiopulmonary Splanchnic nn (sympathetics, bronchodilation)
Iliohypogastric n
L1 - inferior to subcostal, superior to ilioinguinal
Ilioinguinal n
L1 - inferior to iliohypogastic, superior to lat. cutaneous. enters the inguinal canal
Genitofemoral n
L1-L2: sits atop psoas
Lateral cutaneous n. of thigh
L2-L3: lateral aspect of psoas
Femoral n
L2-L4: lateral to psoas
Obturator n
L2-L4: medial to psoas
Hindgut innervation
Parasympathetics: Pelvic splanchnic nerves to wall of hindgut organs
Sympathetics: lumbar splanchnic nerves to inferior mesenteric ganglion
midgut innervation
Parasympathetics: Vagus nn to wall of midgut organs
Sympathetics: Thoracic splanchnic nerves to celiac or superior mesenteric ganglion
foregut innervation
Parasympathetics: vagus nn to wall of foregut organs
Sympathetics: Greater thoracic splanchnic nerve to celiac ganglion
Foregut: Contents, blood supply, veins, lymphatics
Contents: Esophagus, stomach, proximal duodenum, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
Blood supply: Celiac trunk and branches
Venous drainage: gastric veins, splenic vein
Lymphatics: celiac lymph nodes to chyle cistern to thoracic duct
Midgut: Contents, blood supply, veins, lymphatics
Contents: distal duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, appendix, ascending colon, proximal 2/3 of transverse colon
Blood supply: SMA
Venous drainage: SMV

Hindgut: Contents, blood supply, veins, lymphatics
Contents: Distal 1/3 of transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum
Blood supply: IMA
Venous drainage: IMV
Lymphatics: inferior mesenteric lymph nodes to chyle cistern to thoracic duct
Greater Splanchnic n
T5-T9: foregut sympathetics, synapse at celiac ganglia
Lesser splanchnic n
T10-T11: midgut sympathetics, synapse at superior mesenteric ganglia
Least splanchnic n
T12: kidney sympathetics, synapse at renal ganglia
Kidney Innervation
Parasympathetics: Vagus to kidney wall
Sympathetics: thoracic splanchnic nn (least splanchnic) to renal ganglion
Adrenal innervation
Sympathetic only: Thoracic splanchnic nerves, mainly greater splanchnic n.
Lymph drainage of abdominal wall
superior to umbilicus: axillary nodes
inferior to umbilicus: superficial inguinal nodes
testes/ovaries: lumbar nodes
