Veins Diaphragmatic

Introduction

The veins of the diaphragm are an important part of the human venous system, as they are responsible for the outflow of blood from the internal organs of the abdominal cavity and chest. In this article we will look at the anatomical and physiological significance of the veins of the diaphragm, as well as their role in pathology and diagnosis.

Anatomy and physiology of the veins of the diaphragm *Description.*



What are phrenic veins? The phrenic veins are branches of the venous bed in the lower part of the mediastinum. Located in the transverse direction along the circumference of the posterior surface of the esophagus at the level of the I-II cervical vertebrae. Anatomy There are three main tributary veins: the right and left anterior inferior phrenic veins, which drain into the upper part of the internal jugular vein; the right and left superior esophageal veins, which do not reach the internal jugular veins and flow into the inferior vena cava. Each vein of the diaphragm is divided into four branches: the esophageal, gastric, diaphragmatic and common artery, and the esophageal, in addition, is divided into the subphrenic (superclauteric) vein, which follows down along the esophagus and flows into the inferior vena cava or the left dorsal thoracic vein cavities. The veins supplying blood to the sternocleidomastoid region pass through its fascia on the neck. In the anterior and partially lateral walls of the neck there are also vessels of the aortic arch (left common carotid artery
