axillae

Examples of axillae in the following topics:

• Brachial Plexus

  • The brachial plexus proceeds through the neck, the axilla (armpit region), and into the arm.
  • It is a collection of nerves passing through the cervico-axillary canal to reach the axilla and innervate the brachium, the antebrachium, and the hand.
  • The brachial plexus is responsible for cutaneous and muscular innervation of the entire upper limb, with two exceptions: the trapezius muscle is innervated by the spinal accessory nerve (CN XI) and an area of skin near the axilla is innervated by the intercostobrachial nerve.

• Plexuses

  • The plexus extends toward the armpit (axilla).

• Toxoplasmosis

  • Acute toxoplasmosis is characterized by swollen lymph nodes found in the neck or under the chin, followed by the axillae, and the groin area.

• Microbiota of the Skin

  • The areas with least similarity between people in species are the spaces between fingers, the spaces between toes, axillae, and umbilical cord stump.

• Anterior Muscles

  • Deep muscles of the chest and front of the arm, with the boundaries of the axilla.
