Default Regtl Badge Area

http://teachmeanatomy.info/upper-lim...xillary-nerve/

The sensory component of the axillary nerve is delivered via its posterior terminal branch.

After the posterior terminal branch of the axillary nerve has innervated the teres minor,
it continues as the upper lateral cutaneous nerve of the arm. This nerve innervates the skin
over the inferior portion of the deltoid (known as the ‘regimental badge area’).

In a patient with axillary nerve damage, sensation at the regimental badge area may be
impaired or absent. The patient may also report paraesthesia (pins and needles)

Only Craphats call it a Regimental Badge Area, to the Airborne fraternity, it's the "Parawing area". Well known for having one's parawings tattooed there.

Default Origin

The axillary nerve (C5, C6) emerges from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus near the lower border of the subscapularis.
