Detailed explanation-1: -The axillary lymph nodes reside in the axillary pad of fat and fall into five groups. [3] Every group of lymph nodes receives lymph from a specified, nearby region. Anterior (pectoral) lymph nodes are along the inferior border of pectoralis minor, near the lateral thoracic vessels.
Detailed explanation-2: -The axillary lymph nodes are divided into 3 levels: level I (low axilla) – located in the lower part of the armpit. level II (mid axilla) – located in the middle part of the armpit. level III (high axilla) – located in the upper part of the armpit near the breastbone (sternum)
Detailed explanation-3: -Swollen lymph nodes in the armpit can be a sign of common viral infections, such as the flu or mono. They can also occur as a result of a bacterial infection or RA. In some cases, swollen lymph nodes are a symptom of cancer. Warm compresses and OTC pain medication can ease any pain or tenderness.
Detailed explanation-4: -See your doctor right away if you notice any changes in your underarm lymph nodes including pain, large size, tenderness, and more.
Detailed explanation-5: -Cancer cells can travel from the breast via the lymphatic system. This may result in a person developing cancer in their axillary lymph nodes.
