2025年2月11日 · The axillary lymph nodes are a group of twenty to thirty large lymph nodes located in the deep tissues in and around the armpit.

The axillary lymph nodes or armpit lymph nodes are lymph nodes in the human armpit. Between 20 and 49 in number, they drain lymph vessels from the lateral quadrants of the breast, the superficial lymph vessels from thin walls of the chest and the abdomen above the level of the navel, and the vessels from the upper limb.

The lymph node has a protective outside layer (capsule), like a shell on the bean that divides parts of the node into rooms with a large open room in the center (cortex). Lymphatic fluid flows through these rooms, which filters the fluid, and it exists in the nodes from the lymphatic channels.
