Description

The AiA rendering shows a reclining nude with associated lymphatic drainage of the breast.

The breast has a very rich supply of lymphatics  , with the dominant flow being toward the axilla.  The lymphatics originate in the lobules, and they accompany the veins and ductal systems coursing toward the nipple and areola. An extensive network develops in the subareolar region called the subareolar plexus.

There are about 35 nodes that drain the breast and they are basically divided into 4 regions.  The axillary nodes are the largest group and they drain about 75% of the breast.  The other major groups include the parasternal group, the infra-clavicular group, and the supraclavicular group.

Artistically the yellow lymphatics stand out above the underlying nude figure.  There is a nice balance between art and biology.
