Assessment
1. anterior to the pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscles; between
the second and sixth ribs, extending from the side of the sternum to the
Midaxillary line.: Breast Location
2. the superior lateral corner of the breast tissue that projects up and laterally
into the axilla.: Tail of Spence
3. just below the center of the breast. Rough, round, and usually protuberant.
The surface looks wrinkled and indented with tiny milk duct openings.: Nipple
4. Small, elevated, sebaceous glands, called the Montgomery's glands: Areola
5. Secrete a protective lipid material during lactation: Montgomery's glands
6. has smooth muscle fibers that cause nipple erection when stimulated: Are-
ola
7. contains 15 to 20 lobes radiating from the nipple, and these are composed of
lobules. Within each lobule are clusters of alveoli that produce milk. Each lobe
empties into a lactiferous duct. The 15 to 20 lactiferous ducts form a collecting
duct system converging toward the nipple.: Glandular tissue
8. form ampullae, or lactiferous sinuses, behind the nipple, which are reser-
voirs for storing milk.: Lactiferous ducts
9. fibrous bands extending vertically from the surface to attach on chest wall
muscles. These support the breast tissue. They become contracted in cancer
of the breast, producing pits or dimples in the overlying skin.: Suspensory
ligaments (Cooper's ligaments)
10. layers of subcutaneous and retromammary fat actually provide most of the
bulk of the breast. The relative proportion of glandular, fibrous, and fatty tissue
varies depending on age, cycle, pregnancy, lactation, and general nutritional
state.: Adipose tissue
11. high up in the middle of the axilla, over the ribs and serratus anterior
muscle. These receive lymph from the other three groups of nodes.: Central
axillary nodes
12. along the lateral edge of the pectoralis major muscle, just inside the
anterior axillary fold.: Pectoral (anterior) nodes
13. along the lateral edge of the scapula, deep in the posterior axillary fold.: -
Subscapular (posterior)
14. along the humerus, inside the upper arm.: Lateral
15. composed of three cylindrical columns of erectile tissue: the two corpora
cavernosa on the dorsal side and the corpus spongiosum ventrally. At the
distal end of the shaft, the corpus spongiosum expands into a cone of erectile
tissue called the glans.: Penis
16. the shoulder where the glans joins the shaft.: Corona
