KROK 1 2011 – Question 96 · KROK (Medicine) · Human Anatomy
A weightlifter has a disruption of thoracic lymphatic duct as a result of lifting a weight. Choose the most likely site of injury:
- A. In the posterior mediastinum
- B. In the region of venous angle
- C. In the region of neck
- D. In the region of lumbosacral plexus
- E. In the region of aortic hiatus
Hint
Recall the course of the duct from its origin in the abdomen to the neck and pick the point where fixation or narrowing makes it vulnerable to a sudden rise in pressure during straining.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
