Relations of the Trachea

At Level of superior Mediastinum• Anteriorly: The sternum, thymus, left brachio-

cephalic v., origins of the brachiocephalic and left common carotid a., & arch of the aorta

• Posteriorly: esophagus & left recurrentlaryngeal n.

• Right side: azygos v., right vagus n., & the pleura

• Left side: arch of the aorta, left common carotid &left subclavian a., the left vagus & left phrenic n., & the pleura.

Nerve Supply of the Trachea

• sensory nerve supply is from the vagi and the recurrent laryngeal nerves.

• Sympathetic nerves supply the trachealis muscle

Blood Supply of the Trachea

• upper 2/3 are supplied by the inferior thyroid arteries • lower 1/3 is supplied by the bronchial arteries.
