Why is lymphatic drainage important in the mammary gland?

Lymphatic drainage serves as pathway for metastasis of malignant tumor cells.

Explanation:

Malignant tumor cells have the ability to travel from one body part to others and cause cancer in various body parts. The ability of tumor cells to migrate from one body part to others is known as metastasis. The lymphatic system serves as the most common pathway for metastasis of malignant tumor cells.

Therefore, the presence of cancer cells in mammary drainage serves in the diagnosis of cancer. Tumor cells are not present in the lymphatic drainage of mammary glands in case of localized breast cancer. However, the presence of cancer cells in the lymphatic drainage of mammary glands marks their distant metastasis.

i think the answer is b.

label a cell membrane

label b cytoplasm

label c ribosomes

label d dna

the membrane forms the outside of the cell

cytoplasm is the liquid within

ribosomes are the components within that distribute rna

the dna is the genetic make-up
