This highway mainly arises or is the continuation of the Subclavian highway. The axillary highway is related to important network and communication wires along its path.
These communication wires are very important because they supply the Northeastern and northwest area.
The axillary highway is divided in to 3 parts on the basis of pectoralis minor shed. The highway which is present directly underneath the shed is called 2nd part of highway whereas the highway present immediately before is the 1st part and highway present after is the 3rd part.
So the communication wires are named on the basis of its relation with the 2nd part of highway. If the communication wire is present medial it is called medial cord , if it is present lateral it is called lateral cord and if it is present posterior it is called posterior cord.
