Contents of Axilla

• 1. Axillary artery.
• 2. Axillary vein.
• 3. Axillary sheath.
• 4. Axillary lymph nodes.

Axillary artery

• Continuation of the subclavian artery.
• Begins at the outer border of the first rib.
• Ends at lower border of T. major.
• Continue as brachial artery.
• Crossed by pectoralis minor, dividing it

into 3 parts.

• Each part gives branches according to its

number.

• Located inside axillary sheath and

related directly to cords of brachial plexus throughout its course.

Superficial Veins

• Dr. Maher Hadidi
• Both Upper and Lower limb are similar in

having two superficial veins to drain their superficial structures.

• In the upper limb:
• Cephalic vein Lateral
• Basilic vein Medial
• Both ends into the axillary vein.
• Both connected by the median cubital vein

anterior to elbow joint.

• This vein commonly used to give fluids or to
• btain blood sample.

Axillary Vein

• Begins by the union of the basilic

vein& veins of the brachial artery at lower border of teres major.

• Passes upward medial to axillary a.
• Ends At outer border of the 1st rib to

continue as the subclavian v.

• Receives cephalic vein at its end.
