Promote the development of the alveoli, but together suppress milk production

Q

Mature Milk

A

Present from day 15 to weaning

88%water
7% lactose
4% fat
1% protein

126
Q

Inverted nipples

A

Retracted nipple (congenital or recent event). If it is a recent event, the cause maybe an underlying carcinoma of the lactiferous ducts

127
Q

Supernumerary nipples

A

Extra nipples which may or may not be associated with mammary gland tissue

128
Q

Adenocarcinoma

A

A type of breast cancer that usually arise from the epithelial cells of the lactiferous ducts

129
Q

Increased risk factors of breast cancer

A
  1. ) family history
  2. ) Never having had a child
  3. ) having your first child after the age of 35
130
Q

Chronic cystic Mastitis

A

Benign tumors are much more common that cancerous growths

Usually found after menstrual period and during periods of hormonal irregularities

131
Q

Galactorrhea

A

Secretions from the breast which is not associated with pregnancy or lactation

Underlying pathology, medication hormonal abnormalities or breast cancer

132
Q

Gynecomastia

A

The enlargement and development of breast tissue in males

Can be estrogen producing tumor

133
Q

Humerus

A

Largest and longest bone of the upper extremity and consists of a shaft and 2 distinct ends

134
Q

Ossification of the humerus

A

Develops from 8 ossification (1 primary and 7 secondary)

Primary center- shaft and develops very early in fetal development

Secondary center- after birth to late adolescents and include center for the head, greater tuberosity, lesser tuberosity, medial epicondyle, lateral epicondyle, capitalism, and trochlea

135
Q

Areas that are prone to fractures are the anatomical and surgical necks, greater and lesser tubercles, and shaft, and the distal end.

A

Fractures of the humerus

136
Q

Fractures of the surgical neck can damage

A

Damage to the auxiliary nerve and numeral circumflex blood vessels due to this injury

137
Q

Fractures of the shaft affect

A

Damage to the radial nerve due to this injury

138
Q

Fractures of the distal end fo the bone

A

Damage to the median and ulnar nerves and brachial blood vessels are due to this injury

139
Q

Elevation

A

An upward movement of the scapula while the scapula remains approximately parallel to the vertebral column

140
Q

Depression

A

The return to normal from a position of elevation

141
Q

Abduction/protraction

A

A lateral movement of the scapula away form the vertebral column with the medial border remaining parallel to the column

142
Q

Adduction/ retraction

A

Medial movement of the scapula toward the vertebral column

143
Q

Pectoralis major

A

It’s tendon of insertion forms the anterior fold or wall of the axilla

144
Q

Poland syndrome

A

Both the pectoralis major and minor muscles are missing and there is atrophy of the mammary glands.

The hand on the affected side is smaller and may show webbing between the digits which is called syndactylism

145
Q

Axilla

A

Apex- clavicle, scapula, and the 1st rib

Base- made up of skin and fascia

Anterior wall- pectoralis major

Posterior wall- latissimus dorsi and Teres major

Medial wall- serrated anterior and upper ribs

Lateral wall- proximal medial aspect of the arm

Contents include brachial plexus, axillary artery and vein, lymph nodes and adipose tissue.

146
Q

Axillary sheath

A

The deep fascia that encloses the brachial plexus and the blood vessels

147
Q

Prefixed brachial plexus

A

Is a plexus in which C4 is the most superior spot all root forming the plexus, C8 would be the most inferior spinal nerve

148
Q

Postfixed brachial plexus

A

Is a plexus in which C6 is the most superior spinal nerve root, T2 would be the most inferior spinal nerve root

149
Q

Paralysis

A

Complete loss of muscular movement

150
Q

Paresis

A

Movement can be performed but is weak (incomplete paralysis)

151
Q

Anesthesia

A

Partial or complete loss of sensation with or without loss of consciousness

152
Q

Parenthesis

A

Loss of cutaneous sensation (subdivision of anesthesia)

153
Q

Erb-Duchenne Palsy

A

Most common type of injury to the plexus where the C5 or C6 are damaged or comprised

They are caused by excessive stretching of the neck and heavy weight falling on shoulder and producing a traction injury.

154
Q

Klumpke’s Palsy

A

These injuries are less common and the result is in an injury of C8 or T1

The most common cause is by forceful abduction of the humerus at he shoulder joint

155
Q

Cervical ribs

A

A longer than normal transverse process of a cervical vertebrae which can cause problems with the spinal nerves from the plexus

156
Q

Compression of the cords of the brachial plexus

A

May result from prolonged hyperabduction of the arm during certain manual tasks such as painting a ceiling.

Can result in parenthesis and possible hand and digit weakness

157
Q

Thoracic outlet syndrome

A

Both compression of the cords of the brachial plexus and the axillary artery. Symptoms include both neurological and vascular
