What is the lay term for the axilla?
Armpit
Describe the axilla
pyramidal space at junction of arm and thorax

inferior to glenohumeral joint

passageway for large, important nerves and vessels to reach UE (*brachial plexus)

has 4 walls, with apex pointing toward root of neck and base pointing downward and outward
Boundaries of the axilla: base
- toward lower part of body

- composed of fascia and skin of concave of axilla
Boundaries of the axilla: apex
- toward root of neck

- located at medial side of root of coracoid process of scapula

- anterior: clavicle

- posterior: scapula

- medial: first rib
Boundaries of the axilla: walls
- anterior: clavicle, pectoral and subclavius muscles

- posterior: scapula, subscapularis, teres major, and latissimus dorsi muscles

- medial: ribs, intercostal and serratus anterior muscles

- lateral: floor of intertubercular groove of humerus
Name the contents of the axilla
- branches of the brachial plexus ( 3 cords)

- axillary vessels (artery, vein, and lymph)

- axillary lymph nodes:
- apical
- pectoral
- subscapular
- humeral
- central
