What is the artery that is used when measuring blood pressure?
Arteries are generally deep within our bodies which makes them hard to feel. However the Branchial Artery is close to the surface of the skin and is easily felt by hand. Also behind the Branchial Artery there is a firm muscle that allows us to press the artery against it and get an accurate measurement.
What is the major artery of the left arm?
This comes from my A&P lab manual... "In the armpit, the subclavian artery becomes the axillary artery, which serves the upper limb."

"The brachial artery divides into the radial and ulnar arteries, which follow the same-named bones to supply the forearm and hand."
What happens when you shoot meth in an artery versus into veins?
Instead of your shot going to your heart and being spread throughout your entire body, the shot will get shoved into your hand and no where else. You will feel a warm feeling flow up your arm to your hand. It feels quite pleasant at first...right before the feeling changes to agony! It will hurt incredibly, and relief will only come in the form of your swollen hand being too numb to feel any more pain. If this is the first time you missed a vein and hit an artery, chances are you'll be fine. The swelling will go down in about an hour, and it will stop hurting. Hitting an artery will cause tissue damage and tissue death, but it will heal on its own as long as you're in relatively good health. Don't panic, but if the pain or the swelling don't go away, seek immediate medical attention. People have lost limbs because of missed shots, and if there is any doubt about whether it's healing on its own (you'll know in the first 30-60 minutes) the sooner you can get to a doctor in the emergency room, the better.
