Description
The brachii lymph nodes are a group of four to six lymph nodes, which follow the brachial artery of the arm. They are part of the deep lymphatic drainage of the upper limb. They receive lymph from the ulnar and radial lymph vessels of the forearm and the brachial lymph vessels of the arm. The efferent vessels drain into the central and infraclavicular axillary lymph nodes, via the lateral axillary lymph nodes.
