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 .

Neurogenic TOS includes disorders produced by compression of components of the brachial plexus nerves. The neurogenic form of TOS accounts for 95% of all cases of TOS. [21] Arterial TOS is due to compression of the subclavian artery. [21] This is less than one percent of cases. [2] Venous TOS is due to compression of the subclavian vein. [21]
The main artery in the arm is the brachial artery. This artery is a big continuation of the axillary artery. The point at which the axillary becomes the brachial is distal to the lower border of teres major. The brachial artery gives off an unimportant branch, the deep artery of arm. This branching occurs just below the lower border of teres major.
Artery The artery which supplies the muscle with blood. The term "artery" is included to avoid confusing columns. Nerve The nerve(s) which tell the muscle to act (innervates the muscle). The term "nerve" is included for clarity. Action The movement performed by the muscle from the standard anatomical position. In other positions, other actions ...
It follows closely the radial nerve, running at first backward between the long and medial [1] heads of the triceps brachii, then along the groove for the radial nerve (the radial sulcus), where it is covered by the lateral head of the triceps brachii, to the lateral side of the arm; there it pierces the lateral intermuscular septum, and, descending between the brachioradialis and the ...
In human anatomy, the brachial veins are venae comitantes of the brachial artery in the arm proper. Because they are deep to muscle, they are considered deep veins.Their course is that of the brachial artery (in reverse): they begin where radial veins and ulnar veins join (corresponding to the bifurcation of the brachial artery).
