Q1. Which pelvic lymph nodes commonly receive drainage from the superior part of the urinary bladder?

  • Axillary nodes
  • External iliac nodes
  • Submental nodes
  • Popliteal nodes

Q2. Which nodes are important drainage sites for the uterine cervix?

  • Internal iliac and sacral nodes
  • Axillary and cubital nodes
  • Submental and parotid nodes
  • Popliteal and occipital nodes

Q3. Obturator lymph nodes are located in association with which neurovascular pathway?

  • Splenic vessels
  • Superior epigastric vessels
  • Obturator vessels
  • Inferior mesenteric vessels

Q4. Where does lymph from common iliac nodes generally pass next?

  • Lumbar nodes
  • Axillary nodes
  • Popliteal nodes
  • Superficial inguinal nodes

Q5. Which pelvic lymph nodes occupy a posterior position near the anterior surface of the sacrum?

  • Sacral nodes
  • Superficial inguinal nodes
  • Deep cervical nodes
  • External iliac nodes

Q6. Which statement best describes lymphatic drainage from pelvic organs?

  • All pelvic lymph enters the thoracic duct directly
  • Every pelvic organ drains to one exclusive lymph node
  • Pelvic organs contain no lymphatic vessels
  • 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?

  • Popliteal nodes
  • Submental nodes
  • Common iliac nodes
  • Posterior auricular nodes

Q8. Why are external iliac lymph nodes important in the spread of some pelvic malignancies?

  • They form the pelvic diaphragm
  • They drain the upper limb
  • They are located inside the thoracic cavity
  • They receive lymph from several pelvic structures

Q9. Which sequence represents a common direction of lymph flow out of the pelvis?

  • Pelvic nodes to common iliac nodes to lumbar nodes
  • Pelvic nodes to popliteal nodes to axillary nodes
  • Pelvic nodes directly into the portal vein
  • Pelvic nodes to axillary nodes to cervical nodes

Q10. Why can disease from one pelvic organ involve more than one nodal chain?

  • Lymph travels only within arteries
  • Pelvic nodes are completely isolated from each other
  • Pelvic viscera have no regional lymphatic drainage
  • Pelvic lymphatic pathways overlap and communicate
