Description of arteries?

Arteries carry blood from the heart. The main one is the Aorta which carries blood all over the body by branching into the carotid arteries (head), femoral arteries (legs), brachial arteries (arms) and so on. The other main artery is the pulmonary artery which takes blood to the lungs.


What is the axillary artery?

The axillary artery is a major artery of the upper limb. It continues from the subclavian artery.


Where does the subclavian artery take blood to and from?

As indicated by the name, subclavian, these arteries are located beneath the clavicles. On the right, the subclavian artery arises from the brachiocephalic artery and extends to the axillary artery. The left subclavian artery arises from the aorta distal to the left carotid and extends to the axillary artery.The subclavian arteries (left and right) are branches of the aorta supplying both the left and right arms respectively.The left subclavian artery stems directly from the AortaThe right subclavian artery is a branch of the brachiocephalic artery when itbifurcates into the common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery.The subclavian veins are continuations of the axillary veins. They are joined by the internal jugular veins to form both the right and left brachiocephalic veins then drain into the superior vena cava. The nerve to subclavius or subclavian nerve is a branch of the brachial plexus which arises from the junction of the fifth and sixth cervical ventral rami.
