Pectoral region and axilla
Deep lamina of coracoclavicular fascia
The left pectoralis minor muscle (18,27) has been cut near its origin and reflected laterally. The layer of coracoclavicular fascia (19) deep to this muscle is continuous laterally with the pectoral (22) and axillary fascia (21). The axillary vein is visible through a natural opening in the coracoclavicular fascia.
