subclavicular

The efferent vessels pass partly to the central and subclavicular groups of axillary glands and partly to the inferior deep cervical glands.

VIII. The Lymphatic System. 4. The Lymphatics of the Upper Extremity 1918

A few efferents from the subclavicular glands usually pass to the inferior deep cervical glands.

VIII. The Lymphatic System. 4. The Lymphatics of the Upper Extremity 1918

Its afferents are the efferent vessels of all the preceding groups of axillary glands; its efferents pass to the subclavicular group.

The vessels which drain the medial part of the mamma pierce the thoracic wall and end in the sternal glands, while a vessel has occasionally been seen to emerge from the upper part of the mamma and, piercing the Pectoralis major, terminate in the subclavicular glands (Fig. 607).

VIII. The Lymphatic System. 7. The Lymphatic Vessels of the Thorax 1918

The efferent vessels of the subclavicular group unite to form the subclavian trunk, which opens either directly into the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins or into the jugular lymphatic trunk; on the left side it may end in the thoracic duct.

VIII. The Lymphatic System. 4. The Lymphatics of the Upper Extremity 1918

Some of the radial vessels are collected into a trunk which ascends with the cephalic vein to the deltoideopectoral glands; the efferents from this group pass either to the subclavicular axillary glands or to the inferior cervical glands.

VIII. The Lymphatic System. 4. The Lymphatics of the Upper Extremity 1918

A medial or subclavicular group of six to twelve glands is situated partly posterior to the upper portion of the Pectoralis minor and partly above the upper border of this muscle.

VIII. The Lymphatic System. 4. The Lymphatics of the Upper Extremity 1918

Their afferents drain the skin and muscles of the anterior and lateral thoracic walls, and the central and lateral parts of the namma; their efferents pass partly to the central and partly to the subclavicular groups of axillary glands.

VIII. The Lymphatic System. 4. The Lymphatics of the Upper Extremity 1918

A necropsy revealed the presence of the subclavicular artery passing between the tracheal artery and the esophagus, compressing this latter tube and opposing the passage of food.

The order of frequence was as follows: aorta, 17; carotids, four; vena cava, two; and one case each of perforation of the inferior thyroid artery, right coronary vein, demi-azygos vein, the right subclavicular artery (abnormal), and the esophageal artery.
