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 height of a person's arch is determined by the height of the navicular bone. Collapse of the longitudinal arches results in what is known as flat feet. [5] A person with a low longitudinal arch, or flat feet will likely stand and walk with their feet in a pronated position, where the foot everts or rolls
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 following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to human anatomy: . Human anatomy is the scientific study of the morphology of the adult human.It is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy.
lateral head: posterior humerus (above radial sulcus) medial head: posterior humerus - (below radial sulcus) olecranon of ulna: deep artery of arm: radial nerve: extends forearm, adducts shoulder (long head). medial head does not function at shoulder. biceps brachii, brachialis: 2 1 articularis cubiti: Upper Limb, Arm, Posterior compartment ...
The thoracodorsal nerve arises from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus. It is derived from their ventral rami (in spite of the fact that the latissimus dorsi is found in the back) of cervical nerves C6-C8. [1] [3] It is derived from fibres of the posterior divisions of all three trunks of the brachial plexus. [4]
The posterior axioappendicular muscles are described as two sub-groups: [1] [3] Superficial Posterior Axioappendicular muscles (or the extrinsic shoulder muscles) Trapezius; Latissimus dorsi; Deep Posterior Axioappendicular muscles (or the intrinsic shoulder muscles) Levator scapulae; Rhomboid minor; Rhomboid major
This is a list of human anatomy mnemonics, categorized and alphabetized.For mnemonics in other medical specialties, see this list of medical mnemonics.Mnemonics serve as a systematic method for remembrance of functionally or systemically related items within regions of larger fields of study, such as those found in the study of specific areas of human anatomy, such as the bones in the hand ...
