axillary vein

There is one axillary vein on each side of the body.

The axillary artery is accompanied by the axillary vein along its length.

Bonderman missed most of the 2008 season because he had procedures done to remove a blood clot in his axillary vein.

The cephalic vein travels on the lateral side of the arm and terminates as the axillary vein.

This disorder involves primary thrombosis of the axillary vein or subclavian vein.

At this point, the brachial veins join the basilic vein to form the axillary vein.

The axillary vein is strongly curved towards the wingtip, so if extended, the axillary and anal veins would meet before reaching the wing tip.

It passes through the axilla, at first lying behind, and then medial to the axillary vein, and communicates with the intercostobrachial nerve.

The contents of the axilla include the axillary vein and artery, as well as the brachial plexus, lymph nodes and fat.

The neurovascular bundle consisting of the axillary artery, axillary vein and brachial plexus is ligated and cut.

Paget-Schroetter disease is the obstruction of an upper extremity vein (such as the axillary vein or subclavian vein) by a thrombus.

The lateral thoracic vein (sometimes debatably referred to as the long thoracic vein) is a tributary of the axillary vein.

In the area where the axllia is, the body parts that are found are the axillary vein, axillary artery, brachial plexus, lymph nodes and fat.

He plucked the bluish axillary vein clear of the artery and the cluster of large nerves, then slipped two ligatures around the vein and tightened the lower one.

The axillary sheath is a fibrous sheath that encloses the first portion of the axillary artery, together with the axillary vein and the brachial plexus.

In human anatomy, the axillary vein is a large blood vessel that conveys blood from the lateral aspect of the thorax, axilla (armpit) and upper limb toward the heart.

Each subclavian vein is a continuation of the axillary vein and runs from the outer border of the first rib to the medial border of anterior scalene muscle.

Superiorly the cephalic vein passes between the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles (deltopectoral groove) and through the deltopectoral triangle, where it empties into the axillary vein.

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.

The thoracoepigastric vein runs along the lateral aspect of the trunk between the superficial epigastric vein below and the lateral thoracic vein above and establishes an important communication between the femoral vein and axillary vein.

A brachial (or lateral) group of from four to six glands lies in relation to the medial and posterior aspects of the axillary vein; the afferents of these glands drain the whole arm with the exception of that portion whose vessels accompany the cephalic vein.
