A muscle slip, the axillary arch, varying from 7 to 10 cm in length, and from 5 to 15 mm in breadth, occasionally springs from the upper edge of the latissimus dorsi about the middle of the posterior fold of the axilla, and crosses the axilla in front of the axillary vessels and nerves, to join the under surface of the tendon of the pectoralis ...
The axillary arch is an arch-shaped anatomical variant of the latissimus dorsi muscle of the human back. [6] [7] Its shape varies, but its defining characteristics are its origin from the latissimus dorsi muscle, its insertion close to or on the upper anterior part of the humerus, and that it crosses the neurovascular bundle associated with the axillary nerve from dorsomedial to ventrolateral.

The margins of the inferior lumbar (Petit's) triangle are composed of the iliac crest inferiorly and the margins of two muscles – latissimus dorsi (posteriorly) and external abdominal oblique (anteriorly). The floor of the inferior lumbar triangle is the internal abdominal oblique muscle.

It penetrates into the substance of the latissimus dorsi muscle near the lateral border of scapula. [5] It follows the course of the subscapular artery, along the posterior wall of the axilla to the latissimus dorsi muscle, [1] in which it may be traced as far as the lower border of the muscle.
