(3) Lympho- glandulae Medi- astinals An- teriores.— The anterior medias- tinal lymph glands form two groups, a lower and an upper. The lower group) consists of 3 or 4 glands, and is situated, pos- terior to the ster- num, in the lower part of th e anterior mediastinum. It receives afferents from immediately adjacent parts and from the liver and the diaphragm. Its efferents com- municate with the upper ante- rior mediastinal glands, and they end, for the main part, in the broncho - medias- tinal trunk. The upper group consists of from 8 to 19 glands which lie posterior to the manubrium sterni and anterior to the thymus and the great vessels of the superior mediastinum. Their afferents are derived from the lower group of anterior medias- tinal glands, from the pericardium, the heart, the thymus, the thy- reoid gland, and from the sternal glands. Their efferents pass mainly to the bronchomediastinal trunk, but they communicate with the medial inferior deep cervical glands and possibly also with the thoracic duct. 65 a.
