axillary nerve or known as circumflex nerve is a nerve of the human body that comes off the brachial plexus. Brachial plexus is responsible for cutaneous and muscular innervation of the entire upper limb
-Drave 10 <3
All nerves forming the brachial plexus are vulerable to injuries. Most commonly affected are axillary nerve, suprascapular nerve and the radial nerve. The axillary nerve is injured in 37% making it the most commonly injured structure with this type of injury.Suprascapular nerve at 29%, and the radial nerve (22%).

The axillary artery moves oxygenated blood to the the upper limbs, axilla and thorax. :)
Axillary nerve supplies the deltoid and the teres minor mucsles. So you wouldn't be able to abduct your arm otherwise. It is also the lateral cord of the brachial plexus.
Autonomic nerve function in body
Its sensory distribution is the skin overlying the deltoid muscle.
deltoid and teres minor
The deltoid is innervated by the axillary nerve which originates from the ventral rami of the C5 and C6 spinal nerves, via the superior trunk, posterior division of the superior trunk, and the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.
