Axillary Artery with Easy Mnemonics! |
|
The Axillary Artery is a large blood vessel that conveys oxygenated blood to the lateral aspect of the thorax, the axilla (armpit) and the upper limb.
The axillary artery is customarily divided into three parts: 1st part of axillary artery: It lies between the lateral border of the first rib and the medial border of the pectoralis minor muscle. It gives one branch named as the “highest thoracic artery” 2nd part of the axillary artery: It lies under the pectoralis minor muscle. It gives two branches; the lateral thoracic artery and the thoracoacromial artery. The lateral thoracic artery continues downward along the lateral border of pectoralis minor. 3rd part of axillary artery: It lies between the lateral border of pectoralis minor and the lower border of the teres major muscle. It gives three branches; the subscapular artery, the anterior circumflex humeral artery and the posterior circumflex humeral artery. #artery #medicalvideos #anatomyvideos Just sit back and watch it a couple of times, and please share with your fellow classmates!
