| AXD | axillary dissection |
| AXL | anexelekto [oncogene]; axillary lymphoscintigraphy |
| CAM | calf aortic microsome; cell adhesion molecule; cell-associating molecule; chorioallantoic membrane; ... |

| ureteric bud | The primordial cellular outgrowth from the mesonephric duct that gives rise to the epithelial lining of the ureter, of the pelvis, and calyces of the kidney, and of the straight collecting tubules. Synonym: ureteric bud. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| limb bud | The limbs of vertebrates start as outpushings of mesenchyme surrounded by a simple epithelium. The distal region is referred to as the progress zone. There has been extensive study of positional information within the limb bud that determines, for example: the proximal distal pattern of bone development and the anterior posterior specification of digits. (18 Nov 1997) |
| liver bud | The primordial cellular diverticulum of the embryonic foregut endoderm that gives rise to the parenchyma of the liver. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lung bud | The endodermal lung primordium which will give rise to the epithelial lining of the respiratory tract. Synonym: lung bud. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior axillary fold | Bounds axilla anteriorly; formed by skin and fascia overlying inferior border of pectoralis major muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior axillary line | A vertical line extending inferiorly from the anterior axillary fold. Synonym: linea axillaris anterior, linea preaxillaris, preaxillary line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior group of axillary lymph nodes | Lymph nodes located along the lateral thoracic vein; they receive the drainage of the pectoral region, including most of the drainage of the breast. Synonym: nodi lymphatici axillaris pectorales, anterior group of axillary lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical group of axillary lymph nodes | The group of lymph node's located at the apex of the axillary fossa that receive lymphatic drainage from other groups of axillary node's and then drain in turn into the subclavian lymphatic trunk. Synonym: nodi lymphatici axillares apicales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axillary | <biology> Located or growing from an axil. (12 Mar 1998) |
| axillary anaesthesia | Loss of sensation in the distal two-thirds of the upper extremity following injection of a local anaesthetic solution about the nerve trunks in the axilla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axillary arch | <anatomy> An anomalous muscle or tendinus slip that passes across the axilla from the pectoralis major to insert with the latissimus dorsi onto the humerus. Though to be a vestige of the panniculus carnosus muscle of lower mammals. Synonym: axillary arch muscle, axillary arch, pectorodorsal muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axillary arch muscle | <anatomy> An anomalous muscle or tendinus slip that passes across the axilla from the pectoralis major to insert with the latissimus dorsi onto the humerus. Though to be a vestige of the panniculus carnosus muscle of lower mammals. Synonym: axillary arch muscle, axillary arch, pectorodorsal muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axillary artery | <anatomy, artery> The continuation of the subclavian artery; it distributes over the upper limb, axilla, chest and shoulder. (12 Dec 1998) |
| axillary cavity | <anatomy> The underarm area. (16 Dec 1997) |
| axillary dissection | <procedure, surgery> Surgical removal of lymph nodes from the armpit. This tissue is then sent to the pathologist to determine if the breast cancer has spread outside of the breast. The number of nodes dissected varies during surgery. (02 Jan 1998) |
