The trachea, bronchus and esophagus are all locate in the mediastinum. Mediastinumis generic is a term of the organs, structures and connective tissues between the right and the left mediastinum pleura. Figures 20.1 and 20.2 illustrates the relationship among the trachea, the bronchi and the ...
tract. The trachea is continuous superiorly with the larynx and inferiorly becomes the bronchial tree within the lungs. The trachea consists of a support frame of semicircular, or C-shaped, rings made out of hyaline cartilage and reinforced by collagenous connective tissue.Trachea: Anatomy ...
The esophagus lies between the trachea and vertebral column in the superior mediastinum. On its way down, the esophagus passes behind the aortic arch, and at the level of T4/T5 intervertebral discs, it enters the posterior mediastinum. The thoracic duct lies on the left side, and the left ...
New to the eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Cancer Staging Manual for epithelial cancers of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction are separate, temporally related cancer classifications: 1) before treatment decision (clinical); 2) after esophagectomy alone (pathologi...
Tube morphogenesis is essential for internal-organ development, yet the mechanisms regulating tube shape remain unknown. Here, we show that different mechanisms regulate the length and diameter of the murine trachea. First, we found that trachea developm
The thoracic esophagus extends from the suprasternal notch to the diaphragmatic hiatus, passing posterior to the trachea, the tracheal bifurcation, and the left main stem bronchus. The esophagus lies posterior and to the right of the aortic arch at the T4 vertebral level. From the level of T...

Human digestive system - Esophagus, Stomach, Intestines: The esophagus, which passes food from the pharynx to the stomach, is about 25 cm (10 inches) in length; the width varies from 1.5 to 2 cm (about 1 inch). The esophagus lies behind the trachea and h
