	VI. The Arteries. 4b. The Axilla. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		The axilla is a pyramidal space, situated between the upper lateral part of the chest and the medial side of the arm.
		The axillary artery and vein, with the brachial plexus of nerves, extend obliquely along the lateral boundary of the axilla, from its apex to its base, and are placed much nearer to the anterior than to the posterior wall, the vein lying to the thoracic side of the artery and partially concealing it.
		At the forepart of the axilla, in contact with the Pectorales, are the thoracic branches of the axillary artery, and along the lower margin of the Pectoralis minor the lateral thoracic artery extends to the side of the chest.

	Chapter 8: THE SHOULDER AND AXILLA
		The apex of the axilla is the interval between the posterior border of the clavicle, the superior border of the scapula, and the external border of the first rib.
		The axilla is bounded medially by the upper ribs and their intercostal muscles and by the serratus anterior; it is limited laterally by the intertubercular groove of the humerus.
		The chief contents of the axilla are the axillary artery and vein, a part of the brachial plexus and its branches, and the axillary lymph nodes.

	TECHNICAL FORUM-- Axilla Bypass Ring for Shoulder harnesses for Upper-Limb Prostheses - Journal of Prosthetics and ...
		The Hessing pad is a cowhorn-shaped pad adapted from the pad on the Hessing crutch (3).
		A prototype axilla bypass ring was conceived several years ago (4) to relieve harness strap pressure in the axilla for arm amputees using Figure 8 shoulder harnesses (see Figure 3 and Figure 4).
		The benefit of the axilla bypass ring is it places the forces of the harness in the deltopectoral groove and on the scapula where they can be borne more comfortably.

	Underarm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The underarm (or armpit, axilla, or oxter) is the area on the human body directly under the joint where the arm connects to the shoulder.
		Anatomically, the axilla is bound anteriorly by the pectoralis major and minor muscles, posteriorly by the subscapularis and the scapula, medially by the ribcage and by the serratus anterior, and laterally by the coracobrachialis and the short head of the biceps brachii.
		Underarm hair usually grows in the underarms of both males and females, beginning in adolescence, though it is common in some societies for women to remove it for aesthetic reasons, while men tend to keep it.

		Within the axilla, the processes combine to produce the three cords, which are named the lateral, medial, and posterior, according to their relationships to the axillary artery.
		The radial nerve, a terminal branch of the posterior cord, leaves the axilla by passing below teres major and between the humerus and the long head of the triceps.
		Once the pulse is felt, it should be straddled between the index and the middle finger and firmly pressed against the humerus to prevent "rolling" of the axillary artery during block performance.
