Structures that pass through the diaphragm--- mnemonic

Structures that pass through the diaphragm--- Mnemonic

When we go to thorax or abdomen... It's hard to remember their relation... We created a mnemonic to make it easy for you.

What sort of relation? The relation of structures that pass through the diaphragm?

Ok I know one mnemonic for that:-

I ate (8) ten eggs AT twelve.

I: Inferior Vena Cava

aTe: T8!

Eggs: Esophagus (Vagus rhymes with it!)

Ten: T10

AT: Azygous vein(variable) , Aorta, Thoracic duct! Twelve: T12

So to summarize:-

IVC - T8

Esophagus, vagus - T10

Azygous,aorta, thoracic duct - T12

Hope this helps!
