  247. Failure of the acromion process to fuse with the rest of the bone
    Os acromidae (growth plate never ossifies)
  248. Paired, cutaneous sweat glands which are foundin both sexes, but are rudimentary and functionless in males
    Mammary gland
  249. In females, mammary glands have become
    Specialized to secrete milk and undergo monthly changes
  250. Primary functions of mammary glands
    • Provide nourishment to the infant
    • Protection against certain types of idsease in infants (immune benefits)
  251. What is usually dislocated with a fracture of hte clavicle?
    Joints are usually not dislocated with this type of fracture
  252. The scapula undergoes what form of ossification?
    Endochondral
  253. What has occurred with the condition known as os acromidae?
    The acromion process of the scapula has not fused with the rest of the bone.
  254. Subdivisions of mammary gland lobes
    Lobules
  255. Subdivision of lobules of mammary glands
    Alveoli
  256. Reproductive development of mammary glands: at puberty -
    Mammary glandsn increase rapidly in size
  257. Preproductive developmentn of the mammary gland: At each menstrual period
    Tendn to enlarge slightly and exhibit tenderness
  258. Reproductive development of the mammary gland: At each pregnancy
    • Become enlarged and functional, attaining their greattest development during lactation. 
    • After lactation, they return to normal size
  259. Reproductive development of the mammary gland: Menopause
    Undergo atrophy
  260. Hormone secreted by the ovaries and placenta and promotes the growth of the duct system of the mammary glands
    Estrogen
  261. Hormone secreted by the ovaries and placenta, promotes the growth of secretory cells in mammary glands
    Progesterone
  262. Hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary, promotes the production of milk after birth
    Prolactin
  263. Hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary promotes the release of milk
    Oxytocin
  264. The first secretions from the functional mammary glands
    Colostrum
  265. A creamy white to yellowish fluid which begins to be secreted during the last weeks of pregnancy and continues for the first week of breast feeding
    Colostrum
  266. Colostrum is especially rich in
    Immunoglobulins and lactoferrin to impart immune function
  267. Besides immunoglobulins and lactoferrin, what else is in colostrum to help the infant?
    Growth factors that affect the infants gastrointestinal tract
  268. Type of milk present from day 6-15
    Transitional milk
  269. How does transitional milk differ from colostrum?
    Fewer immunoglobulins, but higher amounts of lactose and fat
  270. Mature milk composition
    • 88% water
    • 7% lactose
    • 4% fat
    • 1% protein
  271. Describe the blood/lymph supply to the mammary glands
    • Highly vascular
    • Extensive lymphatic supply
  272. Why is breast cancer so easily metastesized?
    Because of the lymphatic drainage supply
  273. Two developmental anomalies of the mammary gland
    • Inverted nipple (retracted nipple)
    • Supernumerary nipples
  274. Cause of a retracted or inverted nipple if it is not congenital
    Underlying carcinoma pulling on the lactiferous ducts
  275. Extra nipples which may or may not be associated with mammary gland tissue
    Supernumerary nipples
  276. Tumor variety found in breast cancer
    Adenocarcinoma
  277. Two important factors that are thought to increase the risk of breast cancer
    • Family history
    • Never having a child/having your first child after the age of 35
  278. Differences between benign tumors of chronic cystic metastesis and malignant tumors
    • Benign tumors are tender, malignant tumors typically are not
    • Otherwise hard to tell apart, mammography, ultrasound and biopsy (needle aspiration) needed to differentiate
  279. What is galactorrhea
    Nipple discharge not associated with pregnancy or  nursing
  280. Causes of galactorrhea
    Underlying pathology, medication, hormonal abnormalities, breast cancer, or simply elevated hormone levels due to puberty
  281. Enlargement and development of breast tissue in males
    Gynecomastia
  282. Largest and longest bone on the upper extremity
    Humerus
  283. Humerus consists of a shaft and
    Two distinct ends
  284. Number of secondary ossification centers in the humerus
    7
  285. What nerve and blood vessels would be most likely to be damaged with a fracture to the surgical neck of hte humerus?
    • Axillary nerve
    • Circumflex humeral arteries
  286. Fractures at the distal end of the humerus may damage the
    Median and ulnar nerves and brachial blood vessels
  287. Fractures of the shaft of the humerus may damage the
    Radial nerve
  288. Avulsion fractures of the greater tubercle of the humerous are common with
    Falls on the wrist, arm
  289. Pectoralis minor is involved wiht the protraction of the
    scapula
  290. Pectoralis minor's effect on rib cage
    Elevates, helps with forced inspiration
  291. A unilateral condition in which both the pectoralis major and minor are missing
    Poland Syndrome
  292. Symptoms of Poland syndrom
    • Atrophied mammary glands
    • Absence of several ribs
    • Smaller hand on affected side, possible webbing on fingers
  293. Actions of the subclavian muscle
    • Pulls the clavicle medially (stabilizes the sternoclavicular joint, especially when hanging by your hands)
    • Protective cushion between a fractured clavicle and underlying blood vessels
