Study Notes
Thorax Anatomy
- Thoracic Wall: Sections 1 and 2 cover the thoracic wall.
- Mediastinum: Sections 3 and 4 describe the mediastinum, including its contents and vessels.
- Pleura and Airways: Section 5 discusses the pleura and airways.
- Lungs: Section 6 details the lungs, including the left and right lungs (Fig. 6.1). It also shows bronchial and pulmonary segments, with their standard numbering. Figures 6.1 and 6.2 depict the lungs, trachea, aorta, and related structures. Pulmonary segments and bronchopulmonary segments are labeled.
- Heart: Sections 7 and 8 detail the heart.
- Thoracic Nerves: Section 9 describes the nerves of the thorax.
- Surface Anatomy of Thorax: Section 10 covers surface anatomy of the thorax.
Mediastinum Contents and Vessels
- Mediastinum (contents): Section 3 discusses the contents of the mediastinum.
- Mediastinum (Vessels): Section 4 describes the vessels of the thorax, including arterial and venous branches. Figures 4.1 and 4.2 illustrate the major blood vessels.
- Thoracic Aorta Branches: These supply the breast and are depicted in Figure 4.1.
- Veins: Principal veins of the thorax are shown in Figure 4.2, including the superior vena cava, azygos, hemiazygos, and others.
- Other Structures: The figure also shows the thoracic duct, vagus nerve and phrenic nerve near the aorta.
Lung Anatomy
- Lung Lobes and Segments: The left and right lungs are composed of upper, middle, and lower lobes, and further segmented into bronchopulmonary segments (Fig 6.1).
