Hi everyone,
Was skimming over some anatomy and apparently one of the places that the diaphragmatic lymph nodes drain is to the para-aortic nodes. I looked around for what these were, but I've come across different sources saying different things. Does the term para-aortic only cover the lateral aortic (lumbar) nodes or other lymph node groups? Also, am I right in thinking that the tracheobronchial node group covers both the paratracheal and superior/inferior tracheobronchial nodes?
Thanks in advance for any answers!
