My son has a burst artery. In his arm what will happen
brachial
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.
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."
The artery located in the upper arm is called the brachial artery. It runs from the shoulder down to the elbow and is a continuation of the axillary artery. The brachial artery is responsible for supplying blood to the upper arm and branches into the radial and ulnar arteries at the elbow.
Brachial Artery
Brachial artery
To stop severe bleeding of the arm, press on the brachial artery, which is located on the inside of the upper arm.
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.
