Anatomy of the Superior Mediastinum: A Deep Dive into the Brachiocephalic Veins
The superior mediastinum is a critical anatomical region containing the "great vessels" that facilitate systemic circulation and respiratory function. In this cadaveric dissection, we observe the complex arrangement of the venous and arterial structures, specifically focusing on the transition from the neck to the thoracic cavity. Understanding these spatial relationships is essential for clinical procedures such as central venous catheterization, thoracic surgery, and interpreting advanced diagnostic imaging.
