Awareness of anatomical variations in lungs is essential during segmental or lobar resections of lungs. We studied the variations of fissures, lobes and hilar structures in 65 right and 73 left isolated lungs from the dissection hall. Horizontal fissure was absent in 3.07% and incomplete in 35.38% of right lungs. Four point six one percentage of right lungs had 3 fissures and 4 lobes. Three poi...

137 The paraganglion system, a component of the neuroendocrine system, comprises the adrenal medullae and the extra-adrenal paraganglion system. Tissues of the extra-adrenal system have been classified into 4 groups: branchiomeric (associated with arterial vessels and cranial nerves derived from the branchial arches); intravagal; aorticosympathetic; and visceral-autonomic (including cardiac atr...
