long thoracic nerve
serratus anterior, injury causes winging
C7 dermatome
index finger and middle finger running up to C7
C6 dermatome
thumb up to shoulder and C6
C8 dermatome
ring finger and little finger up to C8
T1 dermatome
posterior: T1 to midaxillary lines
anterior: runs through arm pit, inferior aspect of anterior part of arm, midline of forearm
lymphangitis
inflammation of lymph vessels
lymphadenitis
inflammation of lymph nodes
lympadenopathy
lymph node swelling or enlargement whether or not inflamed often a result of cancer metastases
anterior border, axilla
pectoralis major and minor
posterior border of axilla
subscapularis, lattissimus dorse, teres major, and long head of triceps
medial border of axilla
serratus anterior muscle on the lateral thoracic wall
lateral border of axilla
interburcle groove of humerus
borders of axilla
lateral border : interburcle groove of humerus
anterior border:pectoralis major and minor
medial border: serratus anterior muscle
posterior border: subscapularis, lattissimus dorse, teres major, and long head of triceps
axillary sheath
formed by prevertebral fascia of cervical region
cephalic vein
a major subcutaneous vein of the lateral upper extremity
subclavian artery
passes superior to the first rib
between the anterior and middle scalene
changes to axillary artery at the lateral border, rib1
axillary artery
the subclavian artery between rib 1 and inferior border of teres major
brachial artery
suclavian arery past the inferior border of the teres major
thoracoacromial and lateral thoracic artery
2nd part of axillary artery
subscapularis, anterior, posterior circumflex humeral arise from
3rd part of part axillary artery
cephalic vein
deltopectoral triangle
