 the fascia axillaris divides at the outer wall of the axilla into

two branches which unite in 

 the fascia brachialis. They 

 may be considered as to- 

 gether forming a fibrous 

 crescent-shaped arch, con- 

 cave in the direction of the 

 arm. Langer also met with 

 cases where muscular fasci- 

 culi, following a compara- 

 tively independent course, 

 crossed the axilla and 

 formed a fleshy, connecting 

 bridge between the edge of 

 the m. latissimus dorsi and 

 the lower surface of the m. pectoralis major.
