Identifying Structures in the Axilla [Part 2]

The video tutorial provides an in-depth exploration of the axilla, covering its superficial and deeper structures, including the pectoralis major and minor muscles. It delves into the anatomy of the brachial plexus, highlighting the ventral rami and their divisions into trunks and cords. The tutorial also examines the vascular structures, such as the subclavian artery and vein, and their transitions into axillary vessels. Additionally, it discusses the posterior cord of the brachial plexus and its branches, including the radial and axillary nerves.
