MSN 610-module 2 -Lymph nodes
lymph general - Answer-lymph nodes lie is the subcutaneous connective tissues and deepr nodes lie
beneath the fascia of the muscle and within various body cavities nodes are numerous and tiny but
some of them ahve diameters large of 0.5 to 1 cm.
Readily accessible to inspection and palpations they provide some of the earliest clues to the presence
of infection or malignancies
Lymph drainage of lower Extremities - Answer-superior superficial inguinal nodes- deep sublingual
nodes- inferior superficial inguinal nodes-great saphenous lymphatic vessels -popliteal nodes- small
saphenous lymphatic vessels
lymph nodes in axillary vessels - Answer-subclavian-central axillary- brachial-subscrapular-external
mammary-mammary
Lymphatic drainage of the female Gi tract - Answer-common iliac nodes-external iliac nodes-deep
inguinal nodes-superficial inguinal nodes- obturator nodes-internal iliac nodes-preaortic nodes.
Lymph from the upper extremity to subclavian lymphatic trunk - Answer-brachial nodes-epitrochlear
nodes-radial lymphatic vessels- ulnar lymphatic vessels-median lymphatic vessels
lymphatic drainage of breast - Answer-supraclavicular-subclavian-central axillary-brachial-subscapular-
external mammary-internal mammary-mammary
, Lymph nodes involved with the ear - Answer-preauricular- parotid-internal jugular chain-
retropharyngeal-sternomastoid-posterior auricular
Lymph nodes involved with the tongue - Answer-submandibular-submental-sublingual-suprahyoid-
thyrolinguogacial- internal jugular chain
lymph nodes of the neck - Answer-submandibular- submental-suprahyroid-thyrolinguofacial- anterior
deep an dsuperficial cervical-posterior superficial cervical - anterior jugular- supraclavicular-posterior
cervical spinal nerve chain-occiptial-retropharyngeal
lymph nodes most accessible to inspection/palpation - Answer-the necklace of nodes.
acute lymphangitis - Answer-inflammation one or more lymphatic vessel
p- pathogenic organism enter the lymphatic vessles directly through wounds as complication of infection
and produce a local inflammatory response.
s-enlarged lymph nodes, pain, fever, minor trauma to distal skin
o- red streaks in the skin after course of lymphatic collecting ducts appear as tracing rather fine lines
streaking up the extremity. sometimes palpable to gentle touch,
acute suppurative lymphadenitis - Answer-infection of inflammation of lymph node may affect a single
or localized node
p-group a beta-hemolytic streptococci and coagulase positive staphylococcus infection. lymph nodes
enlarge due to because of cellular inflitration and edema.
s- enlarged lymph nodes, pain from enlarged lymph nodes
o-involved nodes usually firm in tender, overlying tissues add me to skin appears erythematous usually
within 72 hours, when abscesses form it is extensive nodes fluctuant, micro bacterial adenitis
characterized by inflammation without warmth that may or may not slightly be tender.
lymphedema - Answer-edematous swelling due to excessive accumulation of lymph fluid in tissues
caused by inadequate lymph drainage
