Lymphatic drainage of the pelvis Flashcards
all lymph drained from the pelvic region is returned to venous circulation via ….
thoracic duct
the thoracic duct empties into where
left internal jugular and subclavian veins
where is the external iliac node located
above the pelvic brim alongside the external iliac vessels
where does the external iliac node receive lymph from
pelvic structures esp the superior parts of the middle to anterior pelvic organs
which nodes does the external iliac node receive lymph from
inguinal lymph nodes
where does the external iliac nodes drain to
common iliac nodes
where do the internal iliac nodes cluster around
the anterior and posterior division of the internal iliac artery
where does the internal iliac nodes receive lymph from
inferior pelvic viscera, deep perineum and gluteal region
which node does internal iliac node drain into
common iliac node
where are the sacral nodes located
within the pelvis at the concavity of the sacrum
where does the sacral nodes receive lymph from
posteroinferior pelvic viscera
where does the sacral nodes drain into
either the internal or the common iliac nodes
where is the common iliac lymph node located
above the pelvis
where does the common iliac node receive lymph from
internal, external and sacral nodes
where else can the common iliac node receive lymph from
directly from the neck of the urinary bladder and inferior parts of the vagina
Where does the common iliac node drain into
caval and aortic group of nodes
which of the following nodes is a direct continuation of the external iliac :
lateral common iliac node
posterior/intermiate common iliac node
medial common iliac node
lateral common iliac node
which of the following receives lymph from the external and internal iliac
lateral common iliac node
posterior/intermiate common iliac node
medial common iliac node
posterior common iliac node
Which of the following lies below the aortic bifurcation and receives lymph from internal iliac nodes:
lateral common iliac node
posterior/intermiate common iliac node
medial common iliac node
medial common iliac node
Which nodes continue to be drained into the lumbar lymph nodes
external iliac, interal iliac, sacral, common iliac
name the 3 left lumbar node destinationS
preaortic
lateral aortic
retroaortic
name the 3 right lumbar node destinations
precaval
lateral caval
retrocaval
In females the ovary and uterine lymph nodes follow the ovarian veins and drain directly into where
lumbar nodes
in males the drainage of the testis and epididymis is to which node
lumbar node
