Axillary artery.
Brachial Artery
Blood clot within the brachial artery
brachial artery
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.
The brachial artery.
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.
if your taking blood pressure in the anticubital area (crease of the elbow) then you would palpate the brachial artery.

Brachial Artery
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."
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.
It supplies the arm with oxygenated blood.
