How long would it take to lose 3 liters of blood through the brachial artery?

The body only holds about 5 liters of blood, and the brachial artery is the first artery after the aorta, so it's possible to lose all the blood in the body if the artery is cut badly enough. Arterys are made to close whenb lood pressure drops, but if they are cut at an angle, that cannot happen. So since the body pumps 5 liters of blood a minute, you can bleed out very quickly.

since 1 liter of blood loss can kill you, that's over-kill.

How does blood flow from the axillary artery to the upper limb?
The blood flows from the axillary artery into the brachial artery. The brachial artery has a branch called the deep brachial artery. The brachial artery branches into the radial and ulnar arteries. These artiers combine at the wrist forming the superficial palmar arch and the deep palmar arch.

Brachial Artery
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 previous answer was "brachial," which could also be a correct answer. "The brachial artery divides into the radial and ulnar arteries, which follow the same-named bones to supply the forearm and hand."
What is the function of the brachial vein?
brachial artery is a continuation of axillary artery at lower border of teres major muscle.the clinician while reading blood pressure places the stethoscope on brachial artery and note the reading.
