No, axillary lymph nodes are not the same as infraclavicular and supraclavicular lymph nodes. Axillary lymph nodes are located in the armpit region and are primarily involved in draining lymph from the upper limb and breast. Infraclaviular lymph nodes are situated below the clavicle, while supraclavicular lymph nodes are located above the clavicle, each serving different drainage areas. Despite their proximity, they are distinct groups of lymph nodes with specific functions.
