nodi lymphoidei axillares
[TA] axillary lymph nodes: the 20 to 30 lymph nodes of the axilla, which receive lymph from all the lymph vessels of the upper limb, most of those of the breast, and the cutaneous vessels from the trunk above the level of the umbilicus. They are divided into groups: apical, central, humeral (lateral), pectoral (anterior), and subscapular (posterior).
