The root of the right lung lies behind the superior vena cava and part of the right atrium, and below the azygos vein.That of the left lung passes beneath the aortic arch and in front of the descending aorta; the phrenic nerve, pericardiacophrenic artery and vein, and the anterior pulmonary plexus, lie in front of each, and the vagus nerve and posterior pulmonary plexus lie behind.
Bronchopulmonary nodes (hilar nodes) situate in the hilum of each lung. Pulmonary nodes are embedded the lung substance on the larger branches of the bronchi. The afferents of the tracheobronchial glands drain the lungs and bronchi, the thoracic part of the trachea and the heart ; some of the efferents of the posterior mediastinal glands also ...
The polymorphic layer is often called the hilus or hilar region. [14] The neurons in the polymorphic layer, including mossy cells and GABAergic interneurons, primarily receive inputs from the granule cells in the dentate gyrus in the form of mossy fibers and project to the inner molecular layer of the dentate gyrus via the associational ...
The ears are referred to as the auricle or otic region. The nose is referred to as the nasal region. The mouth is referred to as the oral region. The chin is referred to as the mental region. The neck is referred to as the cervical region. The trunk of the body contains, from superior to inferior, the thoracic region encompassing the chest [1]
The lateral aortic lymph nodes, typically 15 to 20 on each side, are the ones usually chosen for dissection or biopsy in the treatment or diagnosis of cancer.. A dissection usually includes the region from the bifurcation of the aorta to the superior mesenteric artery or the renal veins.

In human anatomy, the hilum (/ ˈ h aɪ l ə m /; pl.: hila), sometimes formerly called a hilus (/ ˈ h aɪ l ə s /; pl.: hili), is a depression or fissure where structures such as blood vessels and nerves enter an organ. Examples include: Hilum of kidney, admits the renal artery, vein, ureter, and nerves
This PA chest radiograph demonstrates an abnormal contour in the right hilar region, with visualization of the pulmonary vessels through the mass (the hilar overlay sign) indicating its posterior mediastinal location. On resection this was found to be a benign solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura.
