external laryngeal nerve
o Inferior thyroid artery, a branch of the
thyrocervical trunk, ascends behind the gland to
the level of the cricoid cartilage; recurrent
laryngeal nerve crosses either in front of
or behind the artery, or it may pass
between its branches.
o Thyroidea ima, if present, may arise from the
brachiocephalic artery or the arch of the aorta.
It ascends in front of the trachea to the isthmus
Venous Drainage:

o Inferior thyroid v. -inferior thyroid veins of

• Before exiting the thoracic cavity via
esophageal hiatus, the Left vagus become

4. PHRENIC

• between the subclavian vessels
CLINICAL CORRELATES:
ATRIAL SEPTAL DEFECT
After birth, the foramen ovale becomes
completely closed as the result of the fusion
of the septum primum with the septum
secundum.
In 25% of hearts, a small opening persists,
(PATENT FORAMEN OVALE) but this is
usually of such a minor nature that it has no
clinical significance.
Occasionally, the opening is much larger and
results in oxygenated blood from the left
atrium passing over into the right atrium
