-
Tumor Node Metasteses
-

The Tumor refers to the size and location of the primary tumor, the Node refers to whether the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, and the Metastases refers to whether the cancer has spread to distant organs or tissues. Therefore, the correct answer is Tumor Node Metastases.Rate this question:

The removal of the entire breast and lymph nodes under the arm plus the underlying chest wall muscle is a:
-
Modified radical mastectomy
-
Radical Mastectomy
-
Lumpectomy
-
Total mastectomy
Correct Answer
A. Radical MastectomyExplanation
A radical mastectomy involves the complete removal of the breast, lymph nodes under the arm, and the underlying chest wall muscle. This procedure is typically performed when the cancer has spread to the chest wall muscle or lymph nodes. It is a more extensive surgery compared to other options such as a lumpectomy or total mastectomy, which involve removing only the tumor or the entire breast, respectively. The term "modified" is not used in this case, indicating that the entire breast and surrounding tissues are removed.Rate this question:

Connective tissue is made up of:
-
Lobes & lobules
-
Alveoli & ducts
-
Collagen & lobes
-
Collagen & elastin
Correct Answer
A. Collagen & elastinExplanation
Connective tissue is composed of collagen and elastin. Collagen provides strength and support to the tissue, while elastin allows it to stretch and recoil. These two components work together to give connective tissue its flexibility and resilience. Lobes and lobules, alveoli and ducts are not components of connective tissue, so they are not the correct answer.Rate this question:

Breast glands are responsible for:
-
Milk production
-
Breast size
-
Muscle support
-
Breast shape
Correct Answer
A. Milk productionExplanation
Breast glands, also known as mammary glands, are responsible for milk production in females. These glands undergo changes during pregnancy and lactation, producing and secreting milk to nourish the newborn. The milk is synthesized within the glandular tissue and transported through a network of ducts to the nipple, where it can be suckled by the infant. This process is regulated by hormones such as prolactin and oxytocin. Breast size, muscle support, and breast shape are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and overall body composition, but they are not directly related to milk production.Rate this question:
