Intermediate Pulmonary Lymph Nodes Quiz

Q1. Pulmonary lymph nodes are typically found along which parts of the bronchial tree?

• Terminal alveoli only
• Larger intrapulmonary bronchi
• Trachea only
• Larynx only

Q2. Which lymphatic plexus follows the bronchi and pulmonary vessels?

• Superficial cervical plexus
• Parasternal plexus
• Deep pulmonary lymphatic plexus
• Lumbar plexus

Q3. Where is the superficial pulmonary lymphatic plexus located?

• Beneath the visceral pleura
• Between the intercostal muscles
• Within the parietal pleura
• Within the pericardial cavity

Q4. Which nodes form the next major station after pulmonary lymph nodes?

• Diaphragmatic lymph nodes
• Bronchopulmonary lymph nodes
• Intercostal lymph nodes
• Parasternal lymph nodes

Q5. Which sequence correctly represents a major pulmonary lymphatic pathway?

• Parasternal, pulmonary, intercostal
• Intercostal, pulmonary, parasternal
• Diaphragmatic, parasternal, pulmonary
• Pulmonary, bronchopulmonary, tracheobronchial

Q6. Which feature distinguishes pulmonary nodes from bronchopulmonary nodes?

• Pulmonary nodes lie beside the sternum
• Pulmonary nodes lie in the axilla
• Pulmonary nodes are intrapulmonary
• Pulmonary nodes lie below the diaphragm

Q7. What does the deep pulmonary lymphatic plexus primarily drain?

• Posterior thoracic skin only
• Upper limb
• Deep structures of the lung
• Anterior abdominal wall

Q8. What does the superficial pulmonary lymphatic plexus primarily drain?

• Thoracic wall muscles
• Parietal pleura only
• Pericardium only
• Peripheral lung tissue

Q9. Why are pulmonary lymph nodes considered part of the deep pulmonary drainage pathway?

• They lie on the diaphragm only
• They lie along intrapulmonary bronchi
• They lie along the sternum
• They lie in the chest wall

Q10. Which central nodes receive lymph after the bronchopulmonary nodal station?

• Intercostal lymph nodes
