Upper extremity/Upper arm Arteries, Veins, Lymph

suprascapular artery

- passes over transverse scapular ligament to the supraspinous fossa

- Lateral to the scapula spine to the infraspinous fossa

circumflex humeral artery anterior/posterior

anastomosing with each other and encircling the surgical neck of the humerus

subscapular artery

Inferior border of the subscapularis along the lateral border of the scapula

- circumflex scapula and thoracodorsal arteries

circumflex scapular artery

lateral border of the scap to enter the infraspinous fossa

thoracodorsal artery

descending with the thoracodorsal nerve to enter the apex of lat

profunda brachii

radial nerve along the radial groove of the humerus

cephalic vein

Moves laterally to the clavipectoral

basilic vein

medially under the biceps brachii

Thoracic Duct

- left internal jugular vein

-left subclavian vein

right lymphatic duct

- right internal jugular vein

- right subclavian vein

Process of lymph: In order

plexuses:

- Vessels = help them flow

- node = filter lymph

- trunks = dump into ducts

Cluster of Lymph Nodes from top to bottom:

- apical axillary lymph nodes

- deltopectoral lymph nodes

- central axillary lymph nodes

- humeral axillary lymph nodes

- pectoral axillary lymph nodes

- subscapular lymph nodes

- cubital lymph nodes (elbow area)
