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."
head and upper extremities
major artery that carries blood to the lower arm along the side by the thumb.
the artery in the axilla i.e:the axillary artery when crosses the teres major muscle enters the arm and becomes the brachial artery(brachum means arm). then in the cubital fossa (across the elbow joint) it divides into ulnar and radial artery which run in the fore arm.

Aortic arch ~>left subclavian artery ~> axillary artery ~> brachial artery ( and its profunda).
Blood travels from the aortic arch through the left subclavian artery, which branches off the arch. From the left subclavian artery, blood enters the left axillary artery, which continues as the left brachial artery. Finally, the brachial artery branches into the radial and ulnar arteries, supplying blood to the left arm.

The three main branches at the top of the aortic arch are the brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery. The brachiocephalic artery supplies blood to the right arm and the right side of the head and neck. While the left common carotid artery supplies blood to the left side of the head and neck, the left subclavian artery is responsible for blood supply to the left arm.

Ascending Aorta-->Arch of the Aorta--> Brachiocephalic Trunk--> Left Subclavian Artery--> Left Axillary Artery--> Left Brachial Artery--> Left Radial-Ulnar-Palmer Arteries . How is the flow of blood different to the right arm? Merely exchange the "left" with "right" :) Reference: A & P ll Blood Vessels

From the aortic arch, blood flows through the left subclavian artery, then into the axillary artery, followed by the brachial artery. From the brachial artery, blood then reaches the radial artery in the forearm, supplying the distal part of the arm and hand with oxygenated blood.
The subclavian passes below the clavicle, becoming the axillary artery. The axillary artery gives rise to the brachial artery. The brachial is the largest artery in the arm, and spits into three major branches the profunda brachii in the arm , and the radial and ulna arteries in the forearms. Other arteries include the interosseous, circumflex, and humeral nutrient arteries.
