Brachial lymph nodes

Brachial lymph nodes - definition

These refer to one of the five groups of axillary lymph nodes. The structures are also known as Nodi lymphoidei brachiales. 

Brachial lymph nodes - location

These nodes are located on the medial aspect of the upper limb. They are placed between the humeral and the cubital nodes. The structures can be found in a position that is relative to that of the medial and the posterior axillary vein sections. 

Brachial lymph nodes - function

These nodes are constituted by multiple glands that range from 4-6 in numbers. These help drain the majority of the arm area, except the region supplied by the cephalic vein.
