The Tripod of Life
Hardening of the arteries; any of a number of degenerative changes in the walls of arteries leading to a decrease in their elasticity.
Arteriosclerosis
Changes in the walls of large arteries involving the deposit of lipid plaques; the most common variety of arteriosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis
Fatty degeneration or thickening of the walls of the larger arteries occurring in atherosclerosis.
Atheroma
Established by drawing a line along the fold of skin which envelopes the lateral border o fhte pectoralis major muscle.
Anterior Boundary of the Base of the Axillary Space
Established by drawing a line along the fold of skin which envelopes the lateral border of the latissimus dorsi muscle.
Posterior Boundary of the Base of the Axillary Space
Established by drawing a line which connects the two points where the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi muscles blend into the chest wall.
Medial Boundary of the Base of the Axillary Space
Established by drawing a line which connects the two points where the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi musces blend into the arm.
