21

A

Superficial Vein travelling between deltoid and pectoralis major

22

What does cephalic vein drain into

A

Axillary Vein

23
Q

Deltopectoral Triangle

A

24
Q

Axillary Lymph Nodes

A

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

25
Mammary Glands
Modified sweat glands that secrete milk
26
Components of Breast
(Don't need to memorise every detail)
27
Which arteries supply breast tissue
``` Internal Mammary Artery Axillary Artery Superior Thoracic Artery Lateral Thoracic Artery Thoracordorsal Artery Acriomiothoracic Artery ```
28
Which veins drain breast tissue
Lateral Thoracic Vein | Internal Mammary Vein
29
Where does the internal mammary artery originate/where does the internal mammary drain into
Subclavian artery/vein
30
Vaguely describe breast lymphatics
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
