Lymphatics of the torso

Abdomen

The abdomen (colloquially called the belly, tummy, midriff, tucky or stomach) is the part of the body between the thorax (chest) and pelvis, in humans and in other vertebrates.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Abdomen

Adrenal gland

The adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are endocrine glands that produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Adrenal gland

The aorta (aortas or aortae) is the main and largest artery in the human body, originating from the left ventricle of the heart, branching upwards immediately after, and extending down to the abdomen, where it splits at the aortic bifurcation into two smaller arteries (the common iliac arteries).

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Aorta

Biopsy

A biopsy is a medical test commonly performed by a surgeon, an interventional radiologist, or an interventional cardiologist.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Biopsy

Cancer

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Cancer

Celiac lymph nodes

The celiac lymph nodes are associated with the branches of the celiac artery. Periaortic lymph nodes and celiac lymph nodes are lymphatics of the torso.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Celiac lymph nodes

Cisterna chyli

The cisterna chyli or receptaculum chyli (chy·li pronounced: ˈkī-ˌlī) is a dilated sac at the lower end of the thoracic duct in most mammals into which lymph from the intestinal trunk and two lumbar lymphatic trunks flow. Periaortic lymph nodes and cisterna chyli are lymphatics of the torso.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Cisterna chyli

Common iliac lymph nodes

The common iliac lymph nodes, four to six in number, are grouped behind and on the sides of the common iliac artery, one or two being placed below the bifurcation of the aorta, in front of the fifth lumbar vertebra. Periaortic lymph nodes and common iliac lymph nodes are lymphatics of the torso.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Common iliac lymph nodes

Crus of diaphragm

The crus of diaphragm (crura), refers to one of two tendinous structures that extends below the diaphragm to the vertebral column.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Crus of diaphragm

Dissection

Dissection (from Latin dissecare "to cut to pieces"; also called anatomization) is the dismembering of the body of a deceased animal or plant to study its anatomical structure.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Dissection

Fallopian tube

The fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes, oviducts or salpinges (salpinx), are paired tubes in the human female body that stretch from the ovaries to the uterus.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Fallopian tube

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (GI tract, digestive tract, alimentary canal) is the tract or passageway of the digestive system that leads from the mouth to the anus. The GI tract contains all the major organs of the digestive system, in humans and other animals, including the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Gastrointestinal tract

Inferior mesenteric lymph nodes

The inferior mesenteric lymph nodes consist of. Periaortic lymph nodes and inferior mesenteric lymph nodes are lymphatics of the torso.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Inferior mesenteric lymph nodes

Inferior vena cava

The inferior vena cava is a large vein that carries the deoxygenated blood from the lower and middle body into the right atrium of the heart.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Inferior vena cava

Internal iliac lymph nodes

The internal iliac lymph nodes (or hypogastric) surround the internal iliac artery and its branches (the hypogastric vessels), and receive the lymphatics corresponding to the distribution of the branches of it, i. e., they receive lymphatics from all the pelvic viscera, from the deeper parts of the perineum, including the membranous and cavernous portions of the urethra, and from the buttock and back of the thigh. Periaortic lymph nodes and internal iliac lymph nodes are lymphatics of the torso.

Kidney

In humans, the kidneys are two reddish-brown bean-shaped blood-filtering organs that are a multilobar, multipapillary form of mammalian kidneys, usually without signs of external lobulation.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Kidney

Lumbar lymph trunk

The lumbar trunks are formed by the union of the efferent vessels from the lateral aortic lymph nodes. Periaortic lymph nodes and lumbar lymph trunk are lymphatics of the torso.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Lumbar lymph trunk

Lumbar veins

The lumbar veins are four pairs of veins running along the inside of the posterior abdominal wall, and drain venous blood from parts of the abdominal wall.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Lumbar veins

Lumbar vertebrae

The lumbar vertebrae are located between the thoracic vertebrae and pelvis.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Lumbar vertebrae

Lymph node

A lymph node, or lymph gland, is a kidney-shaped organ of the lymphatic system and the adaptive immune system.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Lymph node

Ovary

The ovary is a gonad in the female reproductive system that produces ova.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Ovary

Preaortic lymph nodes

The preaortic lymph nodes lie in front of the aorta, and may be divided into celiac lymph nodes, superior mesenteric lymph nodes, and inferior mesenteric lymph nodes groups, arranged around the origins of the corresponding arteries. Periaortic lymph nodes and preaortic lymph nodes are lymphatics of the torso.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Preaortic lymph nodes

Psoas major muscle

The psoas major (or; from muscles of the loins) is a long fusiform muscle located in the lateral lumbar region between the vertebral column and the brim of the lesser pelvis.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Psoas major muscle

Renal vein

The renal veins in the renal circulation, are large-calibre veins that drain blood filtered by the kidneys into the inferior vena cava.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Renal vein

Retroaortic lymph nodes

The retroaortic lymph nodes (or postaortic lymph nodes) are placed below the cisterna chyli, on the bodies of the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae. Periaortic lymph nodes and retroaortic lymph nodes are lymphatics of the torso.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Retroaortic lymph nodes

Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection

Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) is a surgical procedure to remove abdominal lymph nodes.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection

Superior mesenteric artery

In human anatomy, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is an artery which arises from the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta, just inferior to the origin of the celiac trunk, and supplies blood to the intestine from the lower part of the duodenum through two-thirds of the transverse colon, as well as the pancreas.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Superior mesenteric artery

Superior mesenteric lymph nodes

The superior mesenteric lymph nodes may be divided into three principal groups. Periaortic lymph nodes and superior mesenteric lymph nodes are lymphatics of the torso.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Superior mesenteric lymph nodes

Testicle

A testicle or testis (testes) is the male gonad in all bilaterians, including humans.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Testicle

Thoracic duct

In human anatomy, the thoracic duct (also known as the left lymphatic duct, alimentary duct, chyliferous duct, and Van Hoorne's canal) is the larger of the two lymph ducts of the lymphatic system (the other being the right lymphatic duct). Periaortic lymph nodes and thoracic duct are lymphatics of the torso.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Thoracic duct

Uterus

The uterus (from Latin uterus,: uteri) or womb is the organ in the reproductive system of most female mammals, including humans, that accommodates the embryonic and fetal development of one or more embryos until birth.

See Periaortic lymph nodes and Uterus
