| sweat pore | The surface opening of the duct of a sweat gland. Synonym: porus sudoriferus, porus, pore, skin pore. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sweat test | <investigation> A test used to diagnose cystic fibrosis. Two metal electrodes are placed on the skin of an arm or leg. Very low voltage electricity is used (only a tingling is felt) to measure the concentration of sodium and chloride in the sweat. (19 Jan 1998) |
| inotophoretic sweat test | <investigation> A test used to diagnose cystic fibrosis. Two metal electrodes are placed on the skin of an arm or leg. Very low voltage electricity is used (only a tingling is felt) to measure the concentration of sodium and chloride in the sweat. (27 Sep 1997) |
| 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) |
