    The brachial artery is a continuation of the axillary artery and divides into the radial and ulnar arteries near the elbow. The axillary artery divides around the pectoralis minor muscle into thoracoacromial, lateral thoracic, and subscapular arteries. The brachial artery gives off deep brachial, superior ulnar collateral, and inferior ulnar arteries before dividing into the radial and ulnar arteries.

    Starts: Begins at distal border of teres major muscle.
    Ends: About 1 cm distal to the elbow joint by dividing into radial and
    ulnar arteries.
    Axillary Artery
    Starts: Becomes the brachial artery after crossing the posterior artery
    fold.
