- - - - Territories on the Trunk
        
        On the trunk there are Four territories called Quadrants
        
        Upper Quadrants
        
        Drain into the axillary lymph nodes
        
        Lower quadrants
        
        Drain into the inguinal lymph nodes
        
        Collectors of a territory on the trunk...
        
        Originate at the watersheds and then run directly towards the regional lymph nodes
      - LYMPH COLLECTORS
        
        usually do NOT cross watersheds
        
        Which means that there can be an exception. What is the exception?
        
        Lymph collectors run parallel to watersheds on the extremities
        
        Why is this relevant?
        
        Originate at watersheds and run toward regional lymph nodes
      - What is a lymphatic territory?
        
        Lymphatic territories are made up of several collectors that run adjacent to each other
      - Each lymphatic territory is separated by a watershed
      - Are responsible for the drainage of the same body area
      - ALWAYS Run towards the same group of regional lymph nodes
      - Territories on the extremities
        
        Are called bundles
    - - Lymphatic fluid drains into Cervical Lymph Nodes
- - - - follows the angle of the ribs
