LYMPH GLANDS OF THE SUPEEIOE EXl-xV^KEMITY. 1009 



glands, one or two in number, lie on the medial side of the basilic i/- um 

 distance proximal to the medial epicondyle of the humerus. They receive lyii^ e 

 from both aspects and from the ulnar border of the forearm, and their efferents pass 

 to the deep glands of the arm. 



(2) Lymphoglandulae Cubitales Profundae. Occasionally small glands are 

 found in association with the arteries of the forearm, but in most cases the lymph 

 from the deeper parts of the hand and forearm, below the region of the elbow, 

 passes to the deep cubital glands or to the brachial or axillary glands.

The deep cubital lymph glands lie anterior to the elbow in the neighbourhood of 

 the terminal part of the brachial artery. They receive many of the deep lymph 

 vessels of the forearm and their efferents pass to the brachial and axillary glands. 



Brachial lymph glands, irregular in number and size, are found along the course 

 of the brachial artery. Their afferents are derived from the forearm, from the 

 deep cubital and superficial cubital glands, from adjacent parts, and from the elbow- 

 joint. Their efferents end in lateral group of axillary glands. 



In addition to the glands which lie along the course of the brachial artery 

 other deep glands are occasionally met with in the arm. (1) One in the sulcus
