Radial artery |
Start: Medial to biceps + radial nerve Travels: - beneath brachioradialis - above supinator, pronator teres insertion, origin FDS + FPL, insertion PQ, lower end radius - beneath abductor PL + EPB Ends: anatomical snuff box Branches: - anterior and posterior carpal |
Travel |
|
|
Ulnar artery |
Start: medial to biceps Travels: - beneath pronator teres, FDS - above FDP Branches - Common interosseous splits to anterior and posterior - anterior interosseous between FDP + FPL, through interosseous membrane to extensors + nutrient artery to radius + ulna - posterior interosseous through interosseous space, assisted by anterior branches then replaced in extensor compartment by anterior interosseous - anterior + posterior carpals |
|
|
|
Brachial artery |
Splits into radial and ulnar |
|
|
|
Cephalic vein |
Radially in anatomical snuffbox up to lateral upper arm in deltopectoral groove, perforating clavipectoral fascia to drain into axillary vein |
|
|
|
Basilic vein |
Ulnar side of dorsal venous arch, piercing fascia between elbow and axilla to join brachial vein and form axillary vein |
|
|
|
Median forearm vein |
Drains subcutaneous tissue front wrist and forearm. Divides at elbow to form median basilic and median cephalic which join same named veins. Deep communicating vein then joins median basilic to make larger. |
|
|
|
Thoracoacromial artery |
4 main branches: Clavicular, humeral, acromial, pectoral Pierces clavipectoral fascia From second part axillary artery |
|
|
|
Axillary artery |
Continuation of subclavian artery, becoming brachial artery after teres major Route: enters apex of axilla, surrounded by brachial plexus cords as per their name, axillary vein medially It is laterally convex when arm is at sides, straight when arm is laterally rotated and abducted, leaving median nerve lax Surface marking: curved line from mid clavicle, below coracoid, to groove behind coracobrachialis Surgical approach: splitting clavicular fibres pec major and clavipectoral fascia Branches: superior thoracic, thoracoacromial, lateral thoracic, subscapular (circumflex scapular branch, terminating as thoracodorsal), anterior + posterior circumflex humeral |
|
|
|
Superior thoracic artery |
Supplies pectorals. From 1st part axillary artery |
|
|
|
Lateral thoracic artery |
Follows lower border pec minor to supply pectorals and breast. From second part axillary artery. |
|
|
|
Subscapular artery |
Largest branch. From 3rd part axillary artery. Runs down posterior axillary wall, giving off circumflex scapular artery passing medial to long heads of triceps. It then continues to become the thoracodorsal artery to lat dorsi |
|
|
|
Anterior circumflex humeral artery |
Deep to coracobrachialis and biceps. Passes around surgical neck of humerus. |
|
|
|
Posterior circumflex humeral artery |
Larger branch. Through quadrangular space. Supplies deltoid, latersl + long heads triceps and shoulder joint. Anastomoses with anterior and profunda brachii vessels |
|
|
|
Axillary vein |
Venae comitantes of brachial artery and basilic vein join to form axillary vein in posterior wall axilla. Medial to axillary artery. Exits through apex (anterior to subclavian artery) over first rib, in front of scalenus anterior to become subclavian vein |
|
|
|
Posterior circumflex humeral artery |
Larger branch. Through quadrangular space. Supplies deltoid, latersl + long heads triceps and shoulder joint. Anastomoses with anterior and profunda brachii vessels |
|
|
|
Axillary vein |
Venae comitantes of brachial artery and basilic vein join to form axillary vein in posterior wall axilla. Medial to axillary artery. Exits through apex (anterior to subclavian artery) over first rib, in front of scalenus anterior to become subclavian vein |
