Q

When does the brachiocephalic vein become the subclavian?

A

In the root of the neck, the internal jugular (IJV) and subclavian veins unite to form the brachiocephalic veins posterior to the medial ends of the clavicles.

Q

Lymphatic drainage of the breast should always been with:

Inferior border of breast? and ribs cover

After the apical nodes what happens?

How much of the lymphatic drainage of the breast is through the axillary nodes

With obstruction of usual lymphatics what can happen?

A

“Deep and superficial (Sappey’s) plexi merge”

Inframammary fold, breast covers ribs 2-6

Subclavian trunk -> right or left thoracic ducts

Axillary nodes drain 75%

Lymphatics may cross to contralateral side through superficial (dermal channel), deep (internal mammmary interconnections) or to the retro-pectoral nodes.

Q

A

Tonsils:
Channels drain unilaterally (WELL LATERALISED TONSILS) through the reteropharynx/peripharyngeal space to jugulodiagstric/deep cervical nodes.

Soft palate, uvula (sometimes posterior wall included):

(1) medially to the middle third of the jugular chain,
(2) laterally to the retropharyngeal (RP) lymphatics, and
(3) anteriorly to the hard palate and subsequently into the submental and submandibular nodal group

Posterior pharyngeal wall (the epiglottis, the borders of the tonsillar complexes, and the lateral aspects of the piriform sinuses inferiorly): Drains bilaterally Predominately to IIA, also to middle deep Cx nodes (occasionally to posterior triangle).

21
Q

Describe the submandibular gland

A

1 of three paired salivary glands
Ovoid in shape and roughly thumb sized.

Lies along the body of the mandible, both partly deep and partly superficial to the mylohyoid
muscle.

22
Q

Describe the parotid

A

Paired/bilateral structure. Largest of the 3 paired salivary glands. The superficial surface is approximately triangular, 5cm high, 4cm deep, 3cm wide.
Lobulated irregular shaped, it can be divided into deep and superficial lobes, separated by the facial nerve.
Along with the masseter lies within a depression known as the parotid region (this region has SCM as posterior border, zygomatic arch superior, masseter anteriorly, inferior border of mandible inferiorly)
Produces serous saliva.

23
Q

The hypogastric nerve arises from

And supplies?

Injury results in?

A

The hypogastric nerve arises from the ventral nerve roots of T12 to L3 and supplies sympathetic nerve innervation. The hypogastric nerve may be associated with the visceral fascia of the mesorectum.
Injury to the hypogastric plexus results in increased bladder tone, impaired ejaculation, and dyspareunia.

Q

o Describe the course and relations of the right ureter in the abdomen

A
  1. Begins at the right renal pelvis/hilum at level of L2 vertebra. Approx 25cm long
  2. Abdominal part: Descends vertically in retroperitoneum along the medial edge of psoas, then enters the pelvis in front of SI joint (crossing anteriorly over bifurcation of common iliac artery)
  3. Pelvic Part: travels down lateral pelvic wall. At the level of the ischial spines, they turn anteromedially moving in a transvers plane towards the bladder. Pierces the bladder at its lateral aspect in an oblique manner. This creates a one way valve.
  4. Runs under the uterine artery (vas deferens in Men)“water under the bridge”
  5. Relations:
    * Anteriorly – parietal peritoneum, duodenum, teminal ileum, R gonadal artery, vas deferens
    * Posteriorly: Right Psoas, TVPs of L2-L5, bifurication of R common iliac artery.
