lateral thoracic artery
qudrangular space syndrome is cuse by ?
comperssion of the axillary nerve and posterior circumflex humeral artery
anterior circumflex hmeral artery?
smaller than the posterior
runs horizontally
posterior circumfle artery?
runs posteriorly with the axillary nerve through the quadrangular space

the axillary lymph nodes drain lymph vessels from ?
lateral quadrant of the breast
superficail lymph vessels
the lymph vessels from upper limb
lymph nodes are arranged in 6 groups ?
anterior
posterior
lateral
central apical
lying along the lower border of the pectoralis minor behind the pectoralis major ?
anterior lymph nodes group
the anterior nodes receive lymph vessels from //////////
lateral quadrants of the breast and superfical vessels from the anterolateral thoracoabdominal wall
sentinel lymph nodes?
group of nodes draining a cancer
are the target organs primarily reached by metastasizng cancer cells from the breast tumor
posterior subscapular group ?
lying infron of the subscapularis muscle
they receive superficial lymph vessels from the back
lateral lymph lying along the medial side of the
axillary vein
lateral nodes recive most of the lynoh ve of
the medial upper limb
which lymph nodes receive lymph from the other 3 grouos and where is it
central group lying in the center of the axilla in the axillary fat

apical nodes
left side of subclavian trunk drains into
right into ?
thoracic duct
right lymphatic duct
lymphadenopathy?
is a disease of the lymph nodes in which they are abnormal in size
lymphedema ?
extra fluid builds up in tissue when the lymph nodes are removed
