■ posterior mediastinal lymph nodes around oesophagus and thoracic aorta drain lymph from • oesophagus • heart • diaphragm • liver efferents terminate into the thoracic duct THE LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE OF THE ABDOMEN the lymph from the abdominal walls and abdominal organs is drained into the lumbar and pre-aortic nodes ■ lumbar lymph nodes (lateral aortic) lie on sides of the abdominal aorta and inf. vena cava receive lymph from • the abdominal walls • suprerenal glands • kidneys, ureters • gonads efferents unite to form lumbar trunk – right and left outlying lymph nodes in the pelvis - common iliac)- drain • pelvic walls and pelvic organs • lower limbs ■ pre-aortic nodes – coeliac, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric receive lymph from the alimentary canal, liver, pancreas, spleen efferents form intestinal trunk coeliac lymph nodes near origin of coeliac artery receive lymph from the organs supplied by coeliac a. (liver, gall bladder, stomach, duodenum, pancreas, spleen) outlying nodes: hepatic - along common and proper hepatic a. gastric – near lesser and greater curvatures and around the pylorus pancreaticosplenic – along splenic a. superior and inferior mesenteric lymph nodes lie close to the origin of sup. and inf. mesenteric arteries receive lymph from the small and large intestines outlying nodes: lymph nodes of the mesentery – drain small intestine ileocolic nodes – terminal part of ileum, appendix nodes of the colon – large intestine superior rectal nodes – upper part of rectum 91
THE LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE OF THE PELVIS ■ common iliac lymph nodes along common iliac vessels receive lymph from the external and internal iliac lymph nodes ■ external iliac lymph nodes along external iliac vessels receive lymph from: • inguinal lymph nodes • infraumbilical part of anterior abdominal wall • adductor region (along obturator vessels) • penis • prostate • urinary bladder, urethra • uterus, vagina efferents pass to the common iliac nodes ■ internal iliac lymph nodes lie along internal iliac vessels receive lymph from: • pelvic organs • perineum (along the internal pudendal vessels) • muscles of gluteal region (along the gluteal vessels) efferents pass to the common iliac nodes 92
