Axilla anatomy and thoracic outlet syndrome
Vložit

- The axilla, or armpit, is a four sided pyramid shaped walled by a number of muscles, and is a route for nerves, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels to get to and from the upper limb. There is a narrowing at the apex of this pyramid that can compress these structures, causing a number of problems.

I really love gross anatomy but sam makes it easy to understand it. Saying thank you is barely enough to express my appreciation for all your work.
Just unbelievable.. THANK YOU SO MUCH MR.sam I've been learning from your channel since my first year in medical school and I'm an intern doctor applying for MRCS in few month, you're gifted please never stop making these amazing videos.
I just got to Axilla anatomy while studying my syllabus and was wondering why you had no videos on it, only to come online to see you've uploaded this video... you're doing so great
Thank you so much again, Sam! Hopefully you can share to us how you are able to teach so effectively! The world needs teachers like you man! So much love from the Philippines!
My transcript notes of the video:
00:01
Hello right uh we're going to talk about the axilla also known as the armpit on this uh bony boy here we can only see the bones but we have muscles on top of the bones and when you lay the muscles on here you
00:16
make a pyramidal space in here through which a number of structures pass so yeah sure the armpit or the axilla the armpit is covered in hairy skin it makes some interesting smells that sort of thing but the axilla anatomy i'm really
00:31
interested in is what is in here what the borders of the axilla what runs through the axilla and it's important because it narrows up here and we get something called thoracic outlet syndrome so what might
00:46
get squashed and how might it get squashed and how might that manifest itself and that sort of thing all right the anatomy of the axilla all right this is tricky i got this this fella balanced here but
01:04
that shoulder region upper limbs going off here thorax and then i mean i know you've got an axilla but i wanted to show you look up
01:14
here so we're forming uh like a pyramid it's got four sides to it it's broad down here we're actually missing one of the big muscles we're missing pectoralis major
01:26
this guy here we have like pectoralis we have big muscles here big muscles here in the and the scapula we've got the um body wall here we've got the humerus
01:38
here so all of those things are forming this pyramid which actually you know changes shape as you move your upper limb at the shoulder and then things are going through the axilla through this
01:52
pyramid and at this end they're in the thorax and the neck and at this end they're supplying the upper lips we're talking about nerves going to the upper limb arteries go into the upper limb veins
02:05
coming from the upper limb lymph nodes and that sort of thing the other big thing that's in here is fat so fat is the great space packer in the body right so there's fat in here filling this space
02:17
and all of these structures are running through it that's quite good as well because it moves quite nicely and gets squished and that sort of thing but that is the axilla okay so what are
02:27
the walls of the axilla the anterior border of the axilla is pectoralis major and pectoralis minor so if you run our hands but if you
02:41
right so you see where my thumb is there my thumb there that's the anterior border of the axilla you've got a squidgy muscle there you can feel right that's what we're talking about excuse me that's pectoralis major
02:54
forming the anterior wall of the axilla there immediately then we have the thoracic cage so we've got the ribs we've got the intercostal muscles and
03:06
we've got serratus anterior they're forming the medial wall posteriorly deep in there which we might have a look at on another model in a moment we've got the scapular back here right
03:21
so there's the scapula so the deep surface of the scapula is back in there and that's covered by subscapularis and then we also have
03:32
terra's major so then if you feel the the posterior wall of your axilla that is teres major here in here
03:45
and then the lateral wall is the humerus and you can imagine that when the arm is beside the body everything in this space is really really well protected when you abduct
03:58
the upper limb from the body then the structures in here become a bit vulnerable and look the structures in the medial upper limb also become a bit vulnerable just to look at that again on an upper
04:11
limb model this is a right right upper limb so this is anterior so here we have pectoralis minor and major here with petroleus major forming

Hi Sam, thanks a lot for your videos. Always interesting and with plenty to learn.
Thank you Mr Sam for making anatomy more relatable
If anatomy was taught like this it would be everyone's favorite subject!
thanks for your teachings and the way you teach
Excellent, informative, well delivered presentation. God bless brother 🙏🏾💪🏾✊🏾
Lovely, thank you 😊
Lovely, thank you
Great way to teach 👍
I love your videos
You are the man for clear visualisation of all the parts of our body 👅👁️🥰🥰 and you are not Sam you are the jacck 😅scientist in your field 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥
This is great.
So grateful
Excellent
Thank you sir

I've seen one of the stranger things actors has cleidocranial dysostosis and has no collar bones at all, I'm trying to understand how the shoulder can function without it and support its own weight.
Medical student from India here,thank you sir
15:05 "Can you have 'very vital?'" Good question! Not in the "necessary for life" sense. But maybe in the "full of vitality" sense...
I have my 1st osce tomorrow and I am so sleepy the only thing coming in my mind is to watch some anatomy videos
My textbook does not include teres minor as a part of the posterior boundary of the axilla. Is that wrong? Because I can see it is right below the subscapularis, isn't it? It has an insertion on the humerus too.
Thank you sir how much.each one or least i need to buy and where.
Hi, can you explain Pelvic Congestion Syndrome in men. Thanks.
Why are people ticklish around the axilla?
Thank you very much sir i need those plastic anotomy where i get.
We buy our models from Adam,Rouilly.
Sir can we get free access to u r anatomy app through any of the exam u r can provide ???
It’s so weird that if I haven’t watched this video I would’ve never known the name of the deformity I have that makes me look like a camel from the side is actually called cervical rib or that it’s so rare like 0.5-1% of population have it 😭😭
And thank you very much
💙❤️
That boring skeleton never looks this cute before LOL 😂
Sam you're such an insporation
