30 paź 2023 · Axillary artery (Arteria axillaris) The axillary artery is a large muscular vessel that travels through the axilla. It is responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood to the upper limb, as well as to parts of the musculocutaneous system of the scapula and upper lateral thorax.

The axillary vein originates or drains from where the brachial and basilic veins meet. It receives deoxygenated blood from 6 tributaries: the subscapular vein, the anterior and posterior circumflex humeral veins, the lateral thoracic vein, the thoracoacromial vein, and the cephalic vein.
3 lis 2023 · The axillary vein is a deep vein of the upper limb that is formed by the union of the brachial and basilic veins. It starts at the lower border of the teres major muscle and ascends medially through the axilla towards the 1st rib, where it is continued by the subclavian vein.
In human anatomy, the axillary artery is a large blood vessel that conveys oxygenated blood to the lateral aspect of the thorax, the axilla (armpit) and the upper limb. Its origin is at the lateral margin of the first rib, before which it is called the subclavian artery.
15 sie 2023 · The axillary vein is a major vein in the upper body that carries blood from the upper limb, armpit, and the upper side of the chest wall towards the heart. On each side of the body, it forms where the basilic and brachial veins join in the axilla, a space just below the shoulder that allows arteries, veins, and nerves to pass.
We will consider the anatomy, areas of blood drainage, and anastomoses of the axillary vein. The axillary vein (vena axillaris) is a large, paired vein that is located in the axilla on the right and left.
The axillary vein is divided into three parts in the same manner as the axillary artery (Moore et al., 2013). The first part sits proximal to the pectoralis minor muscle, the second part sits posterior to the pectoralis minor muscle, and the third part lies distal to the pectoralis minor muscle.
