This is the question:

Indicate whether each of the statements in the following question is True or False?

Regarding the clavipectoral fascia

1- The lateral pectoral nerve pierces it ( T)
2- It's covered completely by pectoralis major ( T)
3- It splits to enclose the subclavius muscle (T)
4- Suspensory ligaments of axilla are part of it (T)
5- No lymp vessels passes through it ( F)

is that correct?

Yep, I'm glad we don't need to know that level of minutia.

I'm just glad I'm not taking anatomy anymore. I'm sure that info is buried somewhere in Moore or Chung's BRS book.

That's a bad format for a question, and it's nitpicky, but yes, you are correct. Basically you'd need to remember that the cephalic vein pierces the clavipectoral fascia, and that lymphatic vessels follow the cephalic vein from the UE all the way to axillary nodes that lie deep to the clavipectoral fascia. The deltopectoral lymph node supposedly lies close to the split in the clavipectoral fascia, although I'm not sure I've ever seen it, and that's after teaching gross anatomy for six years...
