Approximately 75 % of the lymph from the breast travels to the ipsilateral ( same-side ) axillary lymph nodes, whilst 25 % of the lymph travels to the parasternal nodes ( beside the sternum bone ), to the other breast, and to the abdominal lymph nodes.

Between 38 and 89 % of breast cancer patients suffer from lymphedema due to axillary lymph node dissection and / or radiation.

Sometimes the " sentinel lymph node "-- that is, the first axillary lymph node that the metastasizing cancer cells would be expected to drain into — is removed.

* Modified radical mastectomy: The entire breast tissue is removed along with the axillary contents ( fatty tissue and lymph nodes ).

* Radical mastectomy ( or " Halsted mastectomy "): First performed in 1882, this procedure involves removing the entire breast, the axillary lymph nodes, and the pectoralis major and minor muscles behind the breast.

Rufus of Ephesus, a Roman physician, identified the axillary, inguinal and mesenteric lymph nodes as well as the thymus during the 1st to 2nd century AD.

* Deep lymph glands of the arm: These comprise the axillary glands, which are 20-30 individual glands and can be subdivided into:

The long thoracic nerve can also be damaged during surgery for breast cancer, specifically radical mastectomies that involve removal of axillary lymph nodes.

Although the leaked silicone filler-gel can migrate from the chest tissues to elsewhere in the woman ’ s body, most clinical complications are limited to the breast and armpit areas, usually manifested as granulomas ( inflammatory nodules ) and axillary lymphadenopathy ( enlarged lymph glands in the armpit area ).

-negative axillary lymph node

-positive axillary lymph node

For example, the use of monoclonal antibodies to cytokeratin in the investigation of the sentinel axillary lymph node for metastatic breast cancer increases nodal positivity by up to 10 %.

Peripheral lymphadenopathy is very common, particularly involving the cervical ( the most common head and neck manifestation of the disease ), axillary, epitrochlear, and inguinal nodes.

The leaves -- attached to the branches at the axillary nodes -- are wedge-shaped, 1 – 3 cm long and 0. 3 – 1 cm broad, with the wider outer tips divided into three lobes ( hence the scientific name tridentata ).

These stolons from the corm of a Crocosmia are stems that emerged from axillary buds at the nodes of the bulb | tunic leaves.

The inflorescences occur either as a terminal shoot at the top of the plant, or as terminal and axillary shoots arising from lower nodes, or rarely as only axillary shoots that pierce through the leaf sheath such as in Coleotrype and Amischotolype.

G. Sylvestre is a large climber, rooting at nodes, leaves elliptic, acuminate, base acute to acuminate, glabrous above sparsely or densely tomentose beneath ; Flowers small, in axillary and lateral umbel like cymes, pedicels long ; Calyx-lobes long, ovate, obtuse, pubescent ; Corolla pale yellow campanulate, valvate, corona single, with 5 fleshy scales.

" This major randomized trial performed in several centres in the UK produced clear evidence that sentinel node biopsy ( SNB ), used to stage axillary spread of disease, can be used with low failed localization and false negative rates, provided both radioisotope and blue dye are used to locate the sentinel nodes.

It originates from the axillary artery and follows the lower border of the Pectoralis minor muscle to the side of the chest, supplies the Serratus anterior muscle and the Pectoralis major muscle, and sends branches across the axilla to the axillary lymph nodes and Subscapularis muscle.

In order to produce extra axillary buds that are necessary for plants containing multiple flowers, a phytoplasma infection – whose symptoms include the proliferation of axillary buds – is used.

It can also include cosmetic care of the body and removal of the pubic and axillary hair, and shaving of the facial hair.

Pain can also be in the side of the neck, the pectoral area below the clavicle, the axillary area, and the upper back ( i. e. the trapezius and rhomboid area ).

In medicine, a central venous catheter (" central line ", " CVC ", " central venous line " or " central venous access catheter ") is a catheter placed into a large vein in the neck ( internal jugular vein ), chest ( subclavian vein or axillary vein ) or groin ( femoral vein ).

Arousal may occur from seeing, touching or eating hair, including head hair, pubic hair, axillary hair, chest hair, or fur.

In humans, hair can be scalp hair, facial hair, chest hair, pubic hair, axillary hair, besides other places.

While some might argue that, by this logic, humans should also express hairy shoulders given that these body parts would putatively be exposed to similar conditions, the protection of the head, the seat of the brain that enabled humanity to become one of the most successful species on the planet ( and which also is very vulnerable at birth ), was arguably a more urgent issue ( axillary hair in the underarms and groin were also retained as signs of sexual maturity ).

The axillary nerve supplies three muscles ; deltoid ( a muscle of the shoulder ), teres minor ( one of the rotator cuff muscles ) and the long head of the triceps brachii ( an elbow extensor ).

In more advanced anurans like the true frogs ( Ranidae ), the tree frogs ( Hylidae ) and the true toads ( Bufonidae ) the amplexus is axillary ( in the armpits ), while in less derived anurans ( the Archaeobatrachia ) and frogs in the Myobatrachidae family it is lumbar ( abdominal, in front of the hindlegs ).

The average difference between oral and axillary temperatures of Indian children aged 6 – 12 was found to be only 0. 1 ° C ( standard deviation 0. 2 ° C ), and the mean difference in Maltese children aged 4 – 14 between oral and axillary temperature was 0. 56 ° C, while the mean difference between rectal and axillary temperature for children under 4 years old was 0. 38 ° C.

In flies ( Diptera ), the alula is a lobe of the posterior margin of the wing bounded proximally by the upper calypter, distally by the axillary incision, and anteriorly by the base of the anal vein.

105, 1809 ), a climbing Composite plant of the tribe Eupatorieae, preferring moist and shady situations, and having a much-branched and deep-growing root, variegated, serrated, opposite leaves and dull white flowers, in axillary clusters.

If the lateral thoracic artery is not branching from the axillary artery, will most likely branch from the following ( in order of likelihood ): ( 1 ) thoracoacrominal, ( 2 ) third part of axillary artery, ( 3 ) suprascapular artery, ( 4 ) subscapular artery

The axillary artery may be safely clamped without endangering the arm, but only in a location proximal to the origin of the subscapular artery.

** adventitious, when occurring elsewhere, for example on trunk or on roots ( some adventitious buds may be former axillary ones reduced and hidden under the bark, other adventitious buds are completely new formed ones ).

* Temperature under the arm ( axillary ) or in the ear ( otic ) is at or over

A muscular slip, the axillary arch, varying from 7 to 10 cm in length, and from 5 to 15 mm in breadth, occasionally springs from the upper edge of the latissimus dorsi about the middle of the posterior fold of the axilla, and crosses the axilla in front of the axillary vessels and nerves, to join the under surface of the tendon of the pectoralis major, the coracobrachialis, or the fascia over the biceps brachii.

In order to collect the axillary compounds, the donor women wore cotton pads under their arms for at least 8 hours, and then the pads were cut into smaller squares, frozen to preserve the scent, and readied for distribution to the recipients.

The recipients were split into two groups, and were exposed to the compounds via application of the thawed axillary pad under their noses daily.

It arises from the dorsal surface of the axillary border of the scapula for the upper two-thirds of its extent, and from two aponeurotic laminæ, one of which separates it from the infraspinatus muscle, the other from the teres major muscle.

The axillary nerve travels through the quadrangular space with the posterior circumflex humeral artery and vein.

The axillary nerve and the PHCA posterior humeral circumflex artery pass posteriorly thru the space.

There, around the lower border of the teres major muscle, the anterior and posterior circumflex humeral veins feed into it, just before it joins the brachial veins to form the axillary vein.
