This arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus and descends in the interval between the axillary artery and vein and gives off no branches in the axilla:
The nerve to the subclavius (C5and 6) supplies the subclaviusmuscle. It is important clinically because it may give a contribution (C5) to the phrenic nerve; this branch, when present,is referred to as:
These nodes are not strictly axillary nodes because they are located outside the axilla. They lie in the groove between the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles and receive superficial lymph vessels from the lateral side of the hand, forearm, and arm.
This nerve is involved in elevating the upper fibers of the scapula; middle fibers pull scapula medially; lower fibers pull medial border of scapula downward:
Part of the breast that extends upward and laterally, pierces the deep fascia at the lower border of the pectoralis major muscle, and enters the axilla.
The proliferation of the duct epithelium and the surrounding connective tissue may cause swelling of the mammary glands in both sexes during the first week of life; in some cases a milky fluid:
It arises from the front of the lateral mass of the sacrum and leaves the pelvis to enter the gluteal region by passing laterally through the greater sciatic foramen:
A terminal branch of the sciatic nerve enters the popliteal fossa, lying first on the lateral side of the popliteal artery, then posterior to it, and finally medial to it.
