- Submental and parotid nodes
- Popliteal and occipital nodes
- Axillary and cubital nodes
- Internal iliac and sacral nodes
Q3. Obturator lymph nodes are located in association with which neurovascular pathway?

- Inferior mesenteric vessels
- Splenic vessels
Q4. Where does lymph from common iliac nodes generally pass next?

- Axillary nodes
- Popliteal nodes
Q5. Which pelvic lymph nodes occupy a posterior position near the anterior surface of the sacrum?
- Deep cervical nodes
- Sacral nodes
- External iliac nodes
- Superficial inguinal nodes
Q6. Which statement best describes lymphatic drainage from pelvic organs?
- Pelvic organs contain no lymphatic vessels
- Every pelvic organ drains to one exclusive lymph node
- All pelvic lymph enters the thoracic duct directly
- Many pelvic organs drain to more than one nodal group
Q7. Which node group forms an important link between lower pelvic nodal chains and lumbar nodes?
- Common iliac nodes
- Popliteal nodes
- Posterior auricular nodes
- Submental nodes
Q8. Why are external iliac lymph nodes important in the spread of some pelvic malignancies?
- They drain the upper limb
- They are located inside the thoracic cavity
- They form the pelvic diaphragm
- They receive lymph from several pelvic structures
Q9. Which sequence represents a common direction of lymph flow out of the pelvis?
- Pelvic nodes to popliteal nodes to axillary nodes
- Pelvic nodes to axillary nodes to cervical nodes
- Pelvic nodes directly into the portal vein
- Pelvic nodes to common iliac nodes to lumbar nodes
Q10. Why can disease from one pelvic organ involve more than one nodal chain?
- Pelvic lymphatic pathways overlap and communicate
- Pelvic nodes are completely isolated from each other
- Pelvic viscera have no regional lymphatic drainage
- Lymph travels only within arteries
