| inferior phrenic lymph nodes | Small lymph nodes associated with the inferior phrenic vessels. Synonym: nodi lymphatici phrenici inferiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior tracheobronchial lymph nodes | Several large lymph nodes inferior to the tracheal bifurcation; they receive afferents from the bronchopulmonary nodes and the heart, and send efferents to the superior tracheobronchial and tracheal nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici tracheobronchiales inferiores, bifurcation lymph nodes, carinal lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
