Which structures Comprise the Superficial Lymphatic System?
-Initial Lymph Capillaries
-Precollectors
-Lymph Collectors
Where is the deep Lymphatic System located?
Beneath the fascia

Lymph Nodes
How much Lymph Fluid is normally returned to the Venous system in 24 hours
2-4 Liters
What are the 4 main components of Lymphatic Load?
,Water
Proteins
Cells/Cell fragments
-Long-chain fatty acids

What is Edema?
An Accumulation of water in the tissues
The Thoracic duct Originates at the Cisterna Chyli?
T/F
True
External Genitalia Drain into the= Inguinal Lymph Nodes, and the
Internal Reproductive Organs drain into the = Pelvic Lymph Nodes
T/F
True
75% of the Lymph from the Mammary Gland drain into the Parasternal Lymph nodes,
and 25% drains into the Axillary Lymph Nodes
T/F
FALSE it is the Opposite
The Collectors of the Ventromedial bundle form a bottleneck behind the Medial Femoral
condyle/ medial aspect of the knee
T/F
True
The 3 Chains of the Lateral Cervical Triangle drain into the left or right Venous Angle
T/F
True
, The Clavicle Forms the Posterior Border of the Lateral Cervical Triangle
T/F
FALSE
The Sternocleidomastoid muscle forms the Anterior Border of the Lateral Cervical
Triangle
T/F
True
The Jugular Chain is Anterior Limitation of the Neck Triangle,
The Supraclavicular Chain is the Posterior Limitation of the Triangle and the
Accessory Chain is the Inferior Limitation of the Triangle
T/F
FALSE
What is the Anterior triangle of the Neck?
The anterior triangle forms the anterior compartment of the neck and is separated from
the posterior triangle by the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
The Sternocleidomastoid muscle defines the anterior and posterior triangle of the neck.
The gluteal watershed is located in the anterior thigh; beginning at the top of the anterior
superior iliac spine (ASIS), running down the back of the thigh, and ending at the
popliteal fossa.
T/F
FALSE
The Sagittal Watershed is located directly in the Center/ Midline of the body, dividing the
body into LEFT & Right
T/F
TRUE

of the Rib cage to the Vertebral Column at the level of T12
T/F
TRUE
The upper horizontal watershed separates the neck and shoulder territory from the
territories of the Arm & Thorax T/F
