Efferent lymphatic vessels from this group carry lymph to the central lymph nodes. Six to seven lymph nodes make up this group, which filters lymph from lymphatic vessels in the back of the neck and upper back. The subscapular group is found in the posterior of the axilla inferior to the scapula, or shoulder blade.Lymph from lymph vessels in the upper limb (arm) feeds into the lateral group and is passed on to the central lymph nodes through efferent lymphatic vessels. The lateral group consists of four to six lymph nodes clustered around the axillary vein. Bordering the lateral edge of the pectoral group is the lateral group.These lymph nodes receive lymph from afferent lymphatic vessels in the mammary and pectoral regions of the chest. The pectoral group consists of four or five large lymph nodes located at the superior border of the pectoralis major muscle.These nodes are arranged into five distinct groups: pectoral (anterior), lateral, subscapular (posterior), central (intermediate), and subclavicular (medial).Įach group of lymph nodes receives lymph from a specific region of the body or from another group of lymph nodes. The axillary lymph nodes are a group of twenty to thirty large lymph nodes located in the deep tissues in and around the armpit.
They perform the vital function of filtration and conduction of lymph from the upper limbs, pectoral region, and upper back. The axillary nodes are a group of lymph nodes located in the axillary (or armpit) region of the body.
