Left armpit nerve plexus, artwork C016 / 6812
Left armpit nerve plexus. Artwork of the nerves (yellow), arteries (red), muscles (red-brown) and bones (light brown) of the left armpit, seen from the front. The bone running across centre is the clavicle. Below it is the subclavian muscle (brown) and the subclavian artery (red). The three muscles across bottom are (right to left): the deltoid, pectoralis minor, and pectoralis major. This is the region where an axillary nerve block is applied. For the right armpit, see C016/6813

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the left armpit nerve plexus, providing a fascinating glimpse into the complexity of our anatomy. The artwork beautifully highlights the various components that make up this region, including the nerves depicted in yellow, arteries in red, muscles in red-brown, and bones in light brown. At the center of this composition lies the clavicle bone, running horizontally and serving as a prominent landmark. Just below it, we can observe the subclavian muscle colored in brown alongside the vibrant red hue of the subclavian artery. Moving towards the bottom portion of this image are three distinct muscles: from right to left, they are identified as deltoid, pectoralis minor, and pectoralis major. The left armpit is an essential area for medical procedures such as an axillary nerve block. This specific technique involves targeting nerves within this region to provide pain relief or anesthesia for surgical interventions. It is worth noting that a similar depiction for the right armpit can be found elsewhere. Overall, this stunning illustration not only serves as a valuable resource for anatomical study but also emphasizes how interconnected our bodies truly are. Through its meticulous portrayal of blood vessels, nerves bundles, and muscular structures within our axilla (armpit), it offers insight into both normal human physiology and potential avenues for clinical intervention.
