    The document discusses the lymphatic drainage of the thorax. It identifies the various lymph node groups that drain the chest wall and thoracic contents, including the axillary, parasternal, intercostal, diaphragmatic, anterior mediastinal, posterior mediastinal, and paratracheal nodes. The right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct are also described, with the thoracic duct terminating in the left subclavian vein after draining lymph from the left side of the body.

    Asst. Prof. Anatomy Dept.
    CIMS Multan
    Learning Objectives

    At the end of this session students should be


    able to
     Briefly discuss the general lymphatic
    organization of the body
     Identify the various groups of lymph nodes in
    the thorax
     Describe the anatomical arrangement and
    superficial/deep pathways of lymphatic
    drainage of the thorax
    Dr. Hamd Syed, Asst. Prof.Anatomy

    Lymphatic Drainage of Chest Wall

     Superficial lymphatics of the thoracic


    wall drain into the following lymph
    nodes
     Axillary
     Parasternal (internal thoracic)
     Inferior deep cervical

    Dr. Hamd Syed, Asst. Prof.Anatomy


    Lymphatic Drainage of Chest Wall

     Deep lymphatics of the chest wall drain


    into the following lymph nodes
     Parasternal (internal thoracic)
     Intercostal (posterior intercostal)
     Diaphragmatic (phrenic)

    Lymphatic Drainage of Thoracic Contents

    The viscera of thoracic cavity are drained by

     Anterior mediastinal (brachiocephalic)


     Posterior mediastinal
     Paratracheal

     The efferents of the anterior mediastinal
    (brachiocephalic), parasternal and
    paratracheal lymph nodes join to form the
    ‘Bronchomediastinal lymph trunks’

    Right Lymphatic Duct

     Its afferents in the thorax are


     Right intercostal nodes
     Right bronchomediastinal trunk
     Right jugular lymph trunk
     Right subclavian lymph trunk

    Dr. Hamd Syed, Asst. Prof.Anatomy


    Thoracic Duct

     Its afferents in the thorax are


     Left intercostal nodes
     Posterior mediastinal nodes
     Left bronchomediastinal lymph trunk
     Left jugular lymph trunk
     Subclavian lymph trunk

    Dr. Hamd Syed, Asst. Prof.Anatomy


    Dr. Hamd Syed, Asst. Prof.Anatomy
    Thoracic Duct

     The thoracic duct commences at the upper


    end of cisterna chyli at the level of body of
    T12 vertebra

     It passes upward between the aorta and


    azygos vein through the diaphragm to reach
    the right side of the esophagus

    Dr. Hamd Syed, Asst. Prof.Anatomy


    Thoracic Duct

     In the superior mediastinum at the level of T5


    vertebra, the thoracic duct passes behind the
    esophagus to lie on its left side

     In the root of the neck, it passes behind the


    carotid sheath to enter the left subclavian
    vein
