On the vertebral bodies between the azygous vein and the aorta on the right side of the posterior thoracic wall.

26
Q

What is drained by the right lymphatic duct?

A

The upper right quadrant

27
Q

What does the thoracic duct drain into?

A

The medial end of the left subclavian vein.

28
Q

What is the function of the filum terminale?

Long and thin

30
Q

Between what two structures is the spinal epidural space found?

A

Between the spinal dura and the periosteum covering the vertebral bodies

31
Q

What is found in the fatty tissue in epidural space?

A

Small arteries and a network of internal venous complexes

32
Q

What is the function of the vertebral venous plexus?

A

Drains the vertebrae and the spinal cord

Also provides a possible route of the communication for the metastasis of cancer cells.

Between the body wall and the CNS

33
Q

Why is the term slipped disk is a misnomer?

A

The disks do not protrude beyond the vertebral bodies to which they are firmly attached
