2023年11月3日 · 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 vein is a large blood vessel that conveys blood from the lateral aspect of the thorax, axilla (armpit) and upper limb toward the heart. There is one axillary vein on each side of the body.

2024年7月23日 · The axillary vein is one of the major veins of the upper limb. It is formed by the union of the paired brachial veins and the basilic vein and contributes to the drainage of the axilla, arm and superolateral chest wall.

2025年1月23日 · The axillary vein is a large vein located in the axilla (armpit region) that serves as a major conduit for venous return from the upper limb.[6] It is formed by the union of the brachial veins and the basilic vein at the lower border of the teres major muscle.

The superficial and deep veins of the axilla and brachium, and their clinical relevance for administration of medications, clinical testing, and surgical procedures. The boundries and contents of the axilla, including the major vessels and relevant parts of the brachial plexus.

2021年4月21日 · The axillary vein is an upper limb deep vein developed by the union of the brachial and basilic veins. It begins at the teres major muscle’s lower border and ascends medially through the axilla to the first rib, where it is connected by the subclavian vein.

Discover the origin, course, tributaries, and drainage areas of the axillary vein for a comprehensive understanding of human anatomy.

The anatomy of the axillary vein and its tributaries did not mirror the axillary artery and its branches. First, the veins in the axillary area drained not only into the axillary vein but also into the cephalic vein. Especially, the thoracoacromial vein and the tributaries drained into the cephalic vein more frequently.

The axillary vein (v. axillaris) begins at the lower border of the Teres major, as the continuation of the basilic vein, increases in size as it ascends, and ends at the outer border of the first rib as the subclavian vein.

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. It is accompanied by the subclavian artery, as well as by the nerve trunks of the brachial plexus.
