Brachial plexus
Musculature/tendons

15
Q

3 Parts of the Axillary Artery

A

What is before the pec minor, behind it, and after it

16
Q

Humeral Circumflex Artery

A
17

Brachium

A

Upper segment of the arm extending from the shoulder to the elbow

18

Superficial Vein travelling between deltoid and pectoralis major

22
Q

What does cephalic vein drain into

A

Axillary Vein

23
Q

Deltopectoral Triangle

A

Used for vein palpation

24
Q

Axillary Lymph Nodes

A

Don’t memorise every single one but just appreciate the path

25
Q

Mammary Glands

A

Modified sweat glands that secrete milk

26
Q

Components of Breast

A

(Don’t need to memorise every detail)

27
Q

Which arteries supply breast tissue

A
Internal Mammary Artery
Axillary Artery
Superior Thoracic Artery
Lateral Thoracic Artery
Thoracordorsal Artery
Acriomiothoracic Artery
28
Q

Which veins drain breast tissue

A

Lateral Thoracic Vein

Internal Mammary Vein

29
Q

Where does the internal mammary artery originate/where does the internal mammary drain into

A

Subclavian artery/vein

30
Q

Vaguely describe breast lymphatics

A

If near the axilla, we have axillary nodes

If near subscapularis, we have drainage into the subscapular node

We end up in deep axillary nodes which drain into supraclavicular nodes that go into lymphatic trunks

**DONT MEMORISE
