Question
Answer
What is the primary function of the lymphatic system?   show
🗑
Describe the origin of interstitial fluid and lymph   show
🗑
show afferent, efferent  
🗑
show Internal jugular, subclavian, right lymphatic, thoracic  
🗑
show right lymphatic; thoracic  
🗑
* Describe the path and location of the thoracic duct   show
🗑
show At the junction of the right internal jugular and the right subclavian veins  
🗑
show Axillary nodes  
🗑
show Inguinal nodes  
🗑
The lymphatic vessels from the wall of the thorax and abdomen for the most part drain into the ____ and ____ nodes. Some vessels pierce the body wall to run to deeper nodes, particularly in the anterior wall of the _____.   show
🗑
Where is the watershed between the inguinal and axillary drainage areas?   show
🗑
What are the main vessels carrying lymph from the axilla? Where do they pass?   show
🗑
Where do the efferent vessels from the inguinal nodes pass through? Where do they drain?   show
🗑
Where are the superficial inguinal nodes located? Where do they receive lymph from?   show
🗑
show Receive ALL the lymph from the superficial nodes and from the deep structures of lower limb; efferent vessels ascend via femoral canal and drain into external iliac nodes.  
🗑
show Alongside carotid sheath; known as deep cervical nodes; jugular trunk; drain skin and superficial fascia AND deeper structures  
🗑
show Bronchomediastinal  
🗑
show bronchomediastinal  
🗑
Which trunks empty into the thoracic duct?   show
🗑
Which trunks join the right lymphatic duct?   show
🗑
show Along blood vessels; groups include pre-aortic and para-aortic nodes  
🗑
show Along front of aorta in 3 groups: celiac nodes (foregut), superior mesenteric nodes (midgut), inferior mesenteric nodes (hindgut); intestinal trunk (contributes to cysterna chili)  
🗑
How are the para-aortic nodes arranged? Where are they? What do they drain? What the efferents from these nodes form?   show
🗑
show Internal iliac nodes (organs supplied by internal iliac arteries EXCEPT gonads, uterine tube, fundus, upper body of uterus, which drain into para-aortic/lumbar nodes); external iliac nodes-->common iliac nodes-->lumbar nodes  
🗑
show upper; anterior and posterior; umbilicus; iliac  
🗑
show By the territories they drain and their location  
🗑
What are the five groups of axillary nodes?   show
🗑
Describe the location and drained region of the brachial group   show
🗑
Describe the location and drained region of the subscapular group   show
🗑
show along lower border of pectoralis minor behind pec major; receive from thoracic wall and anterior abdominal wall  
🗑
Describe the location and drained region of the central group   show
🗑
show Lie in apex of axilla at lateral border of first rib; receive efferents from other axillary nodes; efferents from apical group form the subclavian lymph trunk  
🗑
Describe Drainage of breast: what node groups drain most of it?   show
🗑
show Few to superficial inguinal nodes, most unite with lymphatics from uterine tube and ovary passing to lumbar (para-aortic) nodes; internal, external, and common iliac nodes, sacral nodes  
🗑
show Upper 3/4s: internal iliac nodes; lower 1/4: superficial inguinal nodes; para-aortic (lumbar) nodes  
🗑
