Thoracic duct

collecting ducts. The collecting ducts will transport urine back through the concentration gradient and back through the nephron loop. The walls of the collecting duct are permeable to water, not sodium. Through osmosis more water is drawn out. ADH determines the the permeability of the collecting ducts resulting in less urine secretion and more concentration. Less ADH results in less concentration of urine and more volume. Micturition, meaning urination. Once urine is produces as stated above…

Lymphatic vessels eventually converge to empty back into the bloodstream via the right lymphatic duct, emptying into the right subclavian vein and the thoracic duct, emptying into the left subclavian vein. Lymphatic vessels on the right side of the head, neck, chest and the right upper limb converge into the right lymphatic duct while the rest of the body’s lymphatic vessels converge into the thoracic duct. The lymphatic organs, which consist of the tonsils, the spleen, the thymus and the lymph…

and the larynx. The main function of the pharynx is to provide a passageway for the respiratory and digestive tracts. Esophagus: The esophagus is in charge of bringing food down from the mouth and leading it to the stomach. It is located in the thoracic cavity underneath the trachea and appears much less firm than the trachea. The esophagus belongs to the digestive system. Stomach: The stomach is located underneath the left side of the liver. It looks like a thin oval shaped balloon that is…

to four nodes. Subclavicular (apical) group: It lies medial and posterior to pectoralis minor muscle at apex of axilla. It might be a final common pathway of lymphatic drainage for all other axillary groups. Efferent lymphatics may join thoracic duct, internal jugular vein, subclavian vein or pass to deep cervical nodes. It consists of six to twelve nodes (30). Internal Mammary (Parasternal) Nodes: It lies in the parasternal intercostal space. Predominantly, it drains the far medial…

these vessels. The lymph drains into larger vessels called the lymphatics. These converge to form one of two vessels called lymphatic trunks. One is the right lymphatic duct which drains the upper right portion of the body and returns the lymph to the bloodstream via the right subclavian vein. The other trunk is called the thoracic duct and drains the remaining part of the fluid into the left subclavian vein. The lymph is transported along the system of vessels by muscle contractions and the…

The human body is a complicated thing. No one realizes what all goes through the mind just to do a simple task. The different anatomical features in the human body are many as are the physiological aspects in which all of these various organs and nerves work together. There are many types of tissues that come together make up the four main systems in the human body. These systems intertwine and jointly work together for a person to eventually phonate, breathe, or just walk around a room. The…

The spleen can be found in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen, lying posteriorly to the stomach and underneath the diaphragm. The spleen can be found enclosed in a capsule of dense irregular connective tissue (Krause, 2008). Prone to infections and other conditions, the spleen can easily become enlarged because it is highly vascularized. Malignancies, parasites, liver diseases and other conditions passed in the blood and immune system can cause the spleen to be infected. In addition to the…

As stated before I prefer the modified version of this method that removes the small and large intestines before the thoracic and other abdominal organs. Besides being easier to lift, there is less of a chance that the bowel will be perforated and the field flooded with feces. There are several areas where I still have difficulty, those include finding the ligament of…

in air-filled spaces. The lungs are covered in a double layered serosa where the parietal pleura lines the thoracic wall and the visceral pleura covers the lung surface. Each lung is surrounded by the pleura fluid which is engrossed in between two pleura membrane. This pleura fluid serves as a moist surface to prevent friction as well as adhere the lungs tightly together in between the thoracic wall. ( pg.536,Silverthorn) The intrapleural pressure of the pleura fluid is -3 mm Hg and as a result,…
