Study Notes
Cardiac Health and Anatomy
- A 47-year-old man with chronic atrial fibrillation returns to his cardiologist for a follow-up, highlighting the importance of the right atrium, which contains the SA node.
Superior Mediastinum Anatomy
- The superior mediastinum contains the left recurrent laryngeal nerve.
- The superior mediastinum does not contain the coronary arteries.
Brachiocephalic Vein Anatomy

Ligamentum Arteriosus
- The ligamentum arteriosus attaches the aorta to the pulmonary artery.
Bronchial Anatomy
- Right main bronchus is wider and has a more vertical course than the left main bronchus.
Hilum Components
- All of the following are parts of the hilum, except the superior vena cava.
