Pectoral region and axilla

Left axilla (continued); brachial plexus and axillary artery

The axillary vein and its branches have been cut away. Component parts of the brachial plexus have been separated slightly.

1 .	Internal jugular vein
2 .	Anterior scalene muscle
3 .	Jugular trunk
4 .	Subclavian artery
5 .	Phrenic nerve
6 .	Subclavian vein (cut off)
7 .	Subscapularis muscle
8 .	Rib II
9 .	Long thoracic nerve
10 .	Serratus anterior muscle
11 .	Upper pointer: Cervical nerve V Lower pointer: Cervical nerve VI
12 .	Cervical nerve VII
13 .	Cervical nerve VIII
14 .	Suprascapular nerve
15 .	Transverse scapular artery
16 .	Lateral cord of brachial plexus
17 .	Branch axillary artery (to subscapularis muscle)
18 .	Coracoid process of scapula
19 .	Axillary nerve
20 .	Musculocutaneous nerve
21 .	Upper pointer: Coracobrachialis muscle Lower pointer: Anterior circumflex artery of humerus
22 .	Posterior circumflex artery of humerus
23 .	Axillary artery (note anomalous bifurcation a short distance distal to pointer. The lateral branch continues as the radial artery, the medial branch as the brachial artery)
24 .	Radial nerve
25 .	Thoracodorsal nerve
26 .	Median nerve
27 .	Biceps brachii muscle
28 .	Ulnar nerve
29 .	Middle antibrachial cutaneous nerve
