Their efferents pass to the central, lateral, and infra-clavicular axillary glands (Fig. 806). (d) The central axillary lymph glands, 2-6, lie in the central part of the axilla, and frequently along the line of the intercosto-brachial nerve. They receive afferents from the anterior, the subscapular, and the lateral glands. Their efferents pass to the infra-clavicular glands

THE LYMPH VESSELS OF THE SUPEKIOK EXTREMITY. 1009 anterior glands are derived from the anterior wall of the body above the um- bilicus from the lateral two-thirds of the mamma. Their efferents pass to the central, lateral, and infra-clavicular axillary glands (Fig. 806). (d) The central axillary lymph glands, 2-6, lie in the central part of the axilla, and frequently along the line of the intercosto-brachial nerve. They receive afferents from the anterior, the subscapular, and the lateral glands. Their efferents pass to the infra-clavicular glands (Fig. 806). (e) The subpectoral group of axillary lymph glands, 3-14, is formed by several small glands which lie posterior to the pectoralis minor and anterior or medial to the axillary artery. They receive lymph from the glands situated at a lower level and from the lateral wall of the thorax. Their efferents pass to the infra-clavicular glands. (/) The infra-clavicular group of axillary lymph glands, 1-11, lies in the region between the upper border of the pectoralis minor and the clavicle, aLong the medial side of the axillary artery. They receive efferents from the arm, from the other groups of axillary glands, and directly from the mamma and the pectoral muscles, along the line of the pectoral branches of the thoraco-acromial artery, and from the inter-pectoral glands. Their efferents pass to the inferior deep cervical glands and to the subclavian lymph trunk (Fig. 806). (g) A delto-pectoral lymph gland is occasionally found in the groove between the deltoid and the pectoralis major muscles. It receives afferents from the superficial parts of the arm and the shoulder, and gives efferents to the subclavian trunk and to the infra-clavicular glands. (h) Small inter-pectoral lymph glands are sometimes found between the great and small pectoral muscles. They are connected with the lymph vessels which pass from the posterior part of the mamma to the infra-clavicular glands (Fig
