nerves

sweat glands

sebaceous glands

hair

nails

Term

What smooth muscle cells attach to the base of each hair?

 

Definition
Arrectores Pilorum
Term
Nerve ending in the dermis include:
Definition

1. free nerve ending (pain,temp, and mechanical)

2. lamellated corpuscles (pressure)

3. tactile corpusles

Term
Where is the superficial fascia located and what is it composed of?
Definition
  • between the dermis and the deep fascia
  • composed of superficial, fatty layer and deeper thinner fibrous layer
Term
What does the superficial and deep fascia contain?
Definition
  • superficial blood
  • vessels
  • lymphatics
  • some muscle

 

Term
what are the three types of fascia in the body?
Definition
  1. superficial fascia
  2. deep fascia
  3. subserous fascia
Term

 

what separates the superficial fascia from the deep fascia?

Definition
fascial clefy
Term
What is the function of the lyphoid system?
Definition
  • provides drainage of surplus tissue fluid and leaked plasma proteins to the bloodstream
  • provides removal of debris from cellular composition and infections
Term
What are the comp. of the lymphoid system?
Definition
  • lyphatic plexus
  • Lymphatic vessels
  • lymph
  • lymph nodes
  • lymphocytes
  • thymus
  • red bone marrow
  • spleen
  • tonsils
  • lymphatic nodules of alimentary tract and appendix
Term
Where are lymphatic vessels not found?
Definition
  • bone
  • teeth
  • bone marrow
  • CNS
Term

Flow of right lymphatic duct & thoracic duct

What do they drain?

Definition
  • Rt. lyp. duct drains lymph from right upper quadrant (right side of head, neck, and thorax plus right upper limb)
  • Thoracic duct drains remainder of body
  • rt. lymphatic duct---->rt. venous angle (enters at root of neck)
  • thracic duct------> left venous angle (enters in the thorax)
Term
where does the venous angle occur?
Definition
junction of internal jugular and subclavian veins
Term
what is the cisterna chyli?
Definition
dilated collecting sac through which the thoracic ducts drains from
Term
What are the 2 largest lymphatic vessels?
Definition

right lymphatic duct

thoracic duct

What glands are modified sweat glands and where are they located?
Definition

mammary glands

superficial fascia

Term
what are the comp. of breast?
Definition
  • cental region fo glandular tissue
  • adipose tissue and connective tissue
Term
Is the retromammary space deep or superficial to the deep fascia?
Definition
superficial
Term
What anchors breast to the dermis of skin?
Definition

cooper's ligament

(passes from deeper portion of superficial fascia)

Term
Describe Pean d' orange
Definition
orange peel appearance
Term
Describe en cuirasse
Definition
hard,woody texture
Term
Arterial Suppy of Mammary Gland
Definition
  • lateral thoracic artery & lateral mammary branches
  • internal thoracic artery & medial mammary branches
  • branches from 2-4 intercostal arteries
Term
Innervation of Breast
Definition
Sensory (cutaneous) branches of 2nd-6th thoracic neves (aka intercostal nerves)
Term
Innvervation through breast
Definition
  • pass along lateral border of mammary gland
  • long thoracic nerves -serratus anterior muscle
  • thoracodorsal- latissimus dorsi muscle
  • both run on surface of serattus anterior muscle and deep to pectoralis major
Term
Lymphatic drainage of the Breast
Definition
  • subareolar lymphatic plexus---> 75% axillary nodes---->clavicular nodes--->subclavian lymphatic trunk
  • subareolar lymphatic plexus--->parastenal nodes or opposite breasts--->bronchomediastinal lymphatic trunk--->rt lymphatic duct & thoracic duct

 

Term
What are 75% axillary nodes?
Definition
  • pectoral nodes
  • subscapular nodes
  • central nodes
  • apical nodes
Term
what is the most common site of breast cancer metastasis?
Definition
axillary lymph nodes
Term
What are some locations of metastasis from the breast?
Definition
  • supraclavicular nodes
  • opposite breast
  • abdomen
Term
where does the posterior intercostal veins drain and who do they communicate with?
Definition
  • azygos/hemiazygos systems of veins- along the bodies of vertebrae
  • communicate with venous plexus surrounding the spinal cord
Term
What are some ways that breast cancer spreads?
Definition
  • venous route to the vertebrae then to cranium and brain
  • contiguity (invasion of adjacent tissue)
  • invades retromammary space attaches to or invades pectoral fascia overlying pectoral major
  • metasize to the interpectoral nodes
Term
What movement is the clinical sign of advanced cancer of the breast?
Definition
the breast elevates when pectoralis major contracts
Term
What areas does breast cancer in men infiltrate?
Definition
  • pectoral fascia
  • pectoralis major
  • apical lymph nodes in the axila
