Alright, so thoracic app site. So as always, we start with some high yield anatomy. So let's talk about left versus right lungs. There's different lobes. How do you do that stuff straight?

So on the right side, the heart is not in the way. So there's three lobes versus on the left side. There's two anatomic lobes.

Perfect. And keep going. Let's talk about lymph node stations now. So a lot of people be confused by the different lymph node stations of the thoracic cavity. So in general, is there an easy way to remember the lymph node stations?

Yeah, so I don't even remember the actual what each one, what area it is, but the biggest hint is that if it's a single digit number, it's a media style lymph node. It's a double digit lymph node or a double digit number. It's a higher lymph node.

Yeah, so the stations one through nine are in the media sign them as you get out more peripherally that you're 11 through 14 for the outside.

I can't, I don't think they're going to get to even the weeds about different lymph node stations, but that's just a good kind of general way of keeping straight.

Okay, so John, let's talk about the, there's often the last year where the thoracic duct runs. What's the way of remembering the track and where you'll find a thoracic duct?

So the good way from negative I taught me this recently is between two goose. So you have the thoracic duct runs between the as it gets vain and the astrophic goose.

It's the best way to kind of remember it. Right, so right between the, between here, you have the duct runs between the goose, the two goose's for these true goose's.

So you have the, as a goose vein and the sacrabuse, that's where the thoracic duct runs.

What's the course of the, make it, what's the course of the thoracic duct? It crosses from, from right to left at a certain level.

And that's, that's a high yield thing that's sometimes asked. How do you remember that?

Yeah, so it starts at the sister in a Kylie, which is around L2, and then it crosses at T5 from the right to the left side until it empties into the junction of the left.

The left internal jugular and subclavian veins.

Right, so crosses from right to left at T5. And what's its final destination of the, what's the final destination of the azogus?

Or azogus?

The superior vina cava.
