Anterior (pectoral) group Lying along the lower border of the pectoralis minor Posterior (subscapular) group : Lying in front of the subscapularis muscle , Lateral group : Lying along the medial side of the axillary vein receive lymph vessels from the lateral quadrants of the breast and superficial vessels from the anterolateral abdominal wall above the level of the umbilicus. receive superficial lymph vessels from the back at the level of the iliac crests . these nodes receive most of the lymph vessels of the upper limb.

Central group : Lying in the center of the axilla in the axillary fat, these nodes receive lymph from the above three groups. rdeltopectoral group they are located outside the axilla. They lie in the groove between the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles Apical group : receive superficial lymph vessels from the lateral side of the hand, forearm, and arm. Lying at the apex of the axilla at the lateral border of the 1st rib receive the efferent lymph vessels from all the other axillary nodes..
