Target entity: Musculophrenic arteries Context triple: [Pericardium, bloodSupply, Musculophrenic arteries]
-
A.
Pericardiacophrenic arteries
The pericardiacophrenic arteries are small branches of the internal thoracic arteries that descend alongside the phrenic nerves to supply blood to the fibrous pericardium and adjacent diaphragm.
-
B.
Pericardiacophrenic veins
The pericardiacophrenic veins are paired thoracic veins that accompany the pericardiacophrenic arteries along the phrenic nerves, draining blood from the pericardium and adjacent diaphragm into the internal thoracic veins.
-
C.
Pulmonary artery
The pulmonary artery is the large blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
-
D.
Azygos venous system
The azygos venous system is a network of veins along the vertebral column that drains the thoracic wall and mediastinal structures into the superior vena cava.
-
E.
Pulmonary veins
The pulmonary veins are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
