Chapter 18: Breast and Regional Lymphatic System Flashcards
breast location
lies anterior to the pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscles
tail of spense location
projects up laterally into the axilla
what are the small elevated sabacous glands located in the areola called
montogomerys glands
function of montogomerys glands
secrete protective lipid lipid material during lactation
what tissues are the breast composed of
- glandar tissue
- fibrous tissue, including the suspensatory ligaments
- adipose tissue
coopers ligamants
fibrous bands extending vertically from the surface to attach on chest wall muscles
central axillary nodes
high up in the middle of the axilla, over the ribs and serratus anterior muscle. These recieve lymph from the other three groups of nodes
pectoral (anterior) node
along the lateral edge of the pectoralis major muscle, just inside the anterior axillary fold
subscapular (posterior) node
along the lateral edge of the scapula, deep in the posterior axillary fold
lateral node
along the humerus, inside the upper arm
supernumerary nipple
extra nipple
Tannar staging
- 5 stages of breast development
thelache
the begining of breast development
menarche
begining of menstration
- occurs during breast development stages 3 or 4
stage 1
only a small evated nipple is present
stage 2
breast bud stage
- a small mound of breast and nipple developes; areola widens
stage 3
the breast and areola enlarge; nipple is flush with the breast surface
stage 4
the areola and nipple form secondary mound over the breast
stage 5
mature breast
- only the nipple protrudes; the areola is flush with the breast contour (the areola continues as a secondary mound in some people
gynecomastia
male breast development
mastalgia
breast pain
Galactorrhea
secretions of milky-white discharge from one or both breast in a male or male who is neither pregnat or breastfeding
pagets disease
starts with small crusts on nipple apex and spreads to the areola
