- Bforming a plane for lymphatic tissue
- Cremoval of lymphatic tissue
- Dremoval of tumors in thorax
25The external intercostal muscles fiber direction travels

- ATrue
- BFalse
34The intercostal neuromuscular bundle (VAN) that runs along the inferior border of the ribs is beneath/covered by
- Aendothoracic fascia
- Bveins
- Carteries
35Using the superior border of the rib as a landmark is helpful to
- Aaccess the nerve bundle to provide anesthetics
