The present meta-analysis aimed to provide the most detailed and comprehensive anatomical description of bronchial arteries (BAs) using data available in the literature. Adequate knowledge of the normal anatomy and morphological variations of BAs can be clinically significant; for example, this approach can prevent potential risks while undertaking bronchial artery embolization (BAE) procedures and, ultimately, lead to better patient outcomes. Major medical databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library were searched.

- - Hypernatremia occurs when serum sodium levels exceed 145 mmol/L, with various causes including medical errors, and can lead to severe symptoms like altered consciousness and even death.
- - A case study details a 45-year-old man who developed hypernatremia after paramedics incorrectly administered a concentrated salt solution to induce vomiting, which did not work.
- - The man survived but faced cognitive issues, leading his family to seek legal action for potential medical malpractice, as the improper use of salt solutions for vomiting has been recognized as dangerous.

The research protocol involves basic TLF morphological description, evaluating its relation to the nerves, and examining general histology.
Materials And Methods: The research was conducted on four male cadavers fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin.
