Subclavian trunk
Left superior intercostal vein

31
Q

Drainage of subclavian trunk (left)

A

Jugular trunk
Subclavian trunk

32
Q

Left and right

A

Left: Anterior axillary lymph nodes
Right: Posterior axillary lymph nodes

33
Q
A

Lateral group of axillary lymph nodes

34
Q

Sentinel Lymph node dissection

A

If you remove the mass you inject a dye around the location of the mass through lymphatics the dye goes to 1 of the axillary nodes. Next, you dissect the axilla. If you find cancer cells in axillary lymph node– dissect more. If not– treated. Node where dye goes is called sentinel node.

35
Q

What is the network of nerves in the Axilla

A

Brachial plexus

36
Q

What happens if during birth if you pull the head laterally too much?

A

The upper cords of the brachial plexus will be damaged. Known as Fetal dystocia

37
Q

A

Dorsal- Ventral root and Spinal cord

38
Q
A

Right:
Spinal cord
Dorsal root (ganglion)
Ventral root
Left: (spinal nerve division)

39
Q

What forms a plexus?

A

Ventral rami (before intervening body parts)
Dorsal rami doesnt

40
Q

What plexuses does the ventral rami form?

A

Cervical plexus,Lumbar plexus and sacral plexus

41
