Pleuroperitoneal Foramen

The pleuroperitoneal (or pleuroperitoneal) opening is an anatomical formation that connects the pleural cavity to the abdominal cavity. It is located in the diaphragm and is an opening through which vessels and nerves pass, connecting these two cavities.

The pleuroperitoneal opening is an important element of human anatomy, as it plays an important role in the functioning of the body. Through it, gases are exchanged between the cavities, and the innervation of the abdominal organs and diaphragm occurs.

In addition, the pleuroperitoneal opening can be the site of pathologies such as a hernia, cyst or tumor. In this case, it is necessary to consult a doctor and conduct additional research.

Thus, the pleuroperitoneal opening is an important element of human anatomy and can be the site of the appearance of various pathologies. Therefore, it is important to know its structure and functions in order to correctly diagnose and treat diseases associated with this formation.

The pleuroperitoneal foramen, also known as hiatus pleurohepaticus, is an anatomical opening between the abdominal cavity and the thorax. This opening is formed by the connection between the parietal pleura and the posterior surface of the liver. The pleuroperitoneodural opening provides communication between the pleural and abdominal cavities. The main functions of the pleuraperitoniodal opening include the movement of gases, liquids and other substances between the internal environments of the body. Not only air passes through this opening, but also digestive juices and lymphatic vessels pass between the thalamic zone and the pleural effusion in the abdominal cavity.

The anatomical structure of the pleuroperiocardiodial region depends on individual characteristics and location, and is also determined by various factors such as age, gender, body type and other differences. In women this area is less pronounced than in men. The pleuropericardial arch can be interrupted or continuous.
