Introduction

1 formation

2 division ： Thoracic wall—

Anterior region of thorax, anterolateral region

of thorax and posterior region of thorax.

Thoracic cavity—mediastinum, left and right l

ung and pleura cavity.

Mediastinum

Boundaries Anterior: the sternum and costal cartilages. Posterior: the thoracic vertebrae Two sides: the mediastinal pleurae. Superior: the thoracic inlet. Inferior: the diaphragm

2 Division four parts of the

mediastinum

Mediastinum

superior mediastinumglandular plane venous plane arterial-nervous plane visceral plane

lymphatic plane anterior layer thymus or its rudiment; right and left brachiocephalic V.; superior vena cava; middle layer(arterial layer) aorta and its three branches; right and left phrenic and vagus nerves; posterior layer trachea; esophagus; Left recurrent laryngeal nerve thoracic duct.

1) Thymus Relationship ―two side: ―upper boundary:―lower boundary: External feature ―two unequal lateral lobes and a pyramidal lob. 2) Superior vena cava 3) The aortic arch and its branches

4)The thoracic part of trachea in front of the the thoracic part of trachea :

① the sternal manubrium; ② origins of sternohyoid and sternothyroid muscles; ③ thymus; ④ left brachiocephalic V., ⑤ aortic arch; ⑥ brachiocephalic trunk; ⑦ left common carotid A. ⑧ cardiac plexus and lymph nodes.

Main organs:

① principal bronchi;

② thoracic part of esophagus;

③ thoracic aorta;

④ thoracic duct;

⑤ azygos and hemiazygos V.;

⑥ vagus nerves;

⑦ sympathetic trunk and lymph nodes.

The Sympathetic Trunk

• 10-20 ganglia and interganglionic fibers.

• upper 4th-5th ganglions→esophageal, cardic, pulmonary plexuses.

• 5th-9th ganglions→greater splanchnic N. →celial ganglion

• 10th-12th ganglions→lesser splanchnic N. →aorticorenal ganglion
