What is axilla?
base apex 3 muscular walls 1 bony wall
What is axilla composed of ?
cervicoaxillary canal - 1st rib - clavicle - superior edge of scapula
What canal is apex of axilla made of, and what makes the canal?
axillary a. (with branches) axillary v. (with tributaries) lymphatic vessels axillary lymph nodes nerves that make cords and branches of brachial plexus
What is the content of axilla?
axillary sheath
What are the neurovascular structures in axilla, proximally embeded in?
axillary fossa -anaterior axillary fold -posterior axillary fold -thoracic wall -medial aspect of arm
What is the base of axilla made of and what bounds it?
pectoralis major pectoralis minor pectoral fascia clavicopectoral fascia
What makes the anterior wall of axilla?
scapula subscapularis m. teres major m. latissimus dorsi m.
What makes the posterior wall of axilla?
thoracic wall 1-4 ribs intercostal mm. serratus anterior m.
What makes the medial wall of axilla?
Intertubercular sulcus of humerus (its a bony wall)
What makes the lateral wall of axilla?
start: lateral border of 1st rib subclavian a. end: inferior border of teres major m. brachial a.
Where dose axillary a. start/originate and where dose it end/become?
1st part: lateral 1st rib ends medial border of pectoralis minor m. 2nd part: posterior to pectoralis minor m. 3rd part: lateral border of pectoralis minor ends inferior border of teres major m.
Name all parts of axillary a. and where they start
1st: superior thoracic a. 2nd: thoracoacromial a. lateral thoracic a. 3rd: subscapular a. (largest branch of axillary a.) anterior circumflex a. posterior circumflex a.
Name branches of every part of axillary a.
Internal thoracic -anterior intercostal aa, musculophrenic, superior epigastric a. Thyrocervical trunk -suprascapular, ascending cervical, inferior thyroid, cervicodorsal trunk Vertebral -?
Name branches of subclavian a. and their course
circumflex humeral a (anterior and posterior)
What artery encircles surgical neck of humerus?
supraspinous fossa: suprascapular a. infraspinous fossa: circumflex scapular a.
What artery ends at supraspinous fossa and what artery ends at infraspinous fossa?
circumflex scapular a. thoracodorsal a.
Name branches of subscapular a.
profunda brachii humeral nutrient superior ulnar collateral inferior ulnar collateral radial a. ulnar a.
Name all branches of brachial a.
profunda brachii- radial a. superior ulnar collateral - ulnar n.
Name arteries that accompany radial n. and ulnar n.
median antebrachial median cubital basilic cephalic
Name superficial veins of arm/forearm
cephalic: lateral part of dorsal venous arch (on dorsum of hand) basilic: medial part of dorsal venous arch
Where dose the cephalic and basilic vein start?
basilic v.
Which vein is parallel to brachial a.?
brachial v. basilic v. at inferior border of teres major
Where and which veins make axillary v?
lateral part of dorsal venous arch communicates with median cubital v. between deltoid and pectoralis major mm. enters clavicopectoral triangle joins subclavian or axillary v.
List pathway of cephalic v.
subclavian axillary brachial vv radial vv ulnar vv
Name deep veins of arm and axilla
radial v ulnar v
What veins drain into brachial vv?
