The axillary artery is accompanied by the axillary vein, [2] which lies medial to the artery, along its length. In the axilla, the axillary artery is surrounded by the brachial plexus. [2] The second part of the axillary artery is the reference for the locational descriptions of the cords in the brachial plexus.
It originates from the axillary artery and follows the lower border of the pectoralis minor muscle [1] to the side of the chest to supply the serratus anterior muscle, [2] pectoralis major muscle [3] and pectoralis minor muscle, [4] and sends branches across the axilla to the axillary lymph nodes and subscapularis muscle.
The subscapular artery branches from the third part of the axillary and supplies the subscapularis muscle in the subscapular fossa as far as the inferior angle. The subscapular artery gives off a circumflex scapular branch that enters the infraspinous fossa on the dorsal surface of the bone, grooving the axillary border.

The subscapular artery, the largest branch of the axillary artery, [1] arises from the third part of the axillary artery at the lower border of the subscapularis muscle, which it follows to the inferior angle of the scapula, where it anastomoses with the lateral thoracic and intercostal arteries, and with the descending branch of the dorsal scapular artery (a.k.a. deep branch of the transverse ...
The superior thoracic artery (highest thoracic artery) is a small artery [1] located near the armpit. [2] It usually originates from (the first division of) the axillary artery , but can instead originate from the thoracoacromial artery (itself a branch of the second division of the axillary artery).

The brachial artery is the major blood vessel of the (upper) arm. It is the continuation of the axillary artery beyond the lower margin of teres major muscle . It continues down the ventral surface of the arm until it reaches the cubital fossa at the elbow .
