Q

The pectoralis minor muscle is

A

a thin,triangular muscle that lies beneath the pectoralis major and inserts on thecoracoid process.

18
Q

The axillary artery is divided into

A

three parts by the pectoralis minor muscle.

19
Q

The axillary vein lies

A

medial to the axillary artery and is formed by the union of the cephalic and basilic veins.

20
Q

The brachial plexus passes through

A

the axilla and gives off several branches,including themusculocutaneous, median, radial, and ulnar nerves.

21
Q

The axillary lymph nodes play a crucial role in

A

filtering lymph from the upper limb and breast.

22
Q

The axillary sheath extends from

A

from the clavicle to the teres major muscle.

23
Q

Theaxillary artery gives off several branches including

A

the superior thoracic artery,
thoracoacromial artery,
circumflex humeral arteries.

24
Q

The axillary vein drains into

A

the subclavian vein,which then joins theinternal jugular vein to form thebrachiocephalic vein.
