2 questions I received in lab yesterday:
1) Lymphatic drainage of the breast?
To answer this question, refer to Dr. Evey's essays. He has outlined this question 2 or 3 times, and it serves as a wonderful guide for describing the lymphatic drainage of the breast.
2) Gray vs White rami communicans?
Gray rami communicans are found throughout the entire length of the spinal cord connecting the ANS to the CNS. White rami communicans are only found at levels T1-L3 which is basically the connection between the sypmathetic trunk and CNS. Gray and white rami communicans can not be differentiated in a gross dissection.
