lymph nodes of UL + LL

Question 1

What are the axillary LN?

Answer 1

APICAL:
Anterior (pectoral) –
Posterior (subscapular) –
Infraclavicular (deltopectoral)–
Central –
Apical –
Lateral (humeral) –

Question 2

What do the LN of the UL accompany?

Answer 2

Superficial veins of the UL - Ceph, V. + basilic V,

Question 3

Describe the lymph drainage of the UL

Answer 3

– Lymph drainage from the UL usually accompanies the superficial veins – the cephalic Vein and the basilic vein
– Lymph from the thumb, index finger and lat aspect of the palm accompanies the ceph. V. and drains into the infraclavicular/deltopectoral group of the axillary LN.

– Lymph from the little finger, ring finger and the medial aspect of the palm accompany the basilic V. The lymh is filtered by the supratrochlear node above the medial epicondyle of the humerus. The efferent lymphatics from this node drains into the lateral group of axillary LN.

Question 4

Lymph draining from where accompanies the ceph. v.?

Answer 4

• Lymph draining from the thumb and the index finger and the lateral aspect of the palm accompany the cephalic V.
• The lymph from here drains into the Infraclavicular/deltopectoral group of the axillary LN.

Question 5

Lymph draining from where accompanies the basilic v.?

Answer 5

-Lymph draining from the little finger, ring finger and medial aspect of the palm accompany the basilic V.
-The lymph then gets filtered at the supratrochlear node (located above the medial epicondyle of the humerus).
-The efferent lymphatics from the node drain into the lateral group of the axillary LN.

Question 6

Where is the supratrochlear node located?

Answer 6

Above the medial epicondyle of the humerus

Question 7

what indicates an infection in the medial aspect of the palm?

Answer 7

If there is an enlarged node located above the medial epicondyle of the humerus

Question 8
