AXILLARY. BRACHIAL. RADIAL. ULNAR. Palmar Arches (Superficial & Deep).

It passes through the Axilla. Termination : At the middle of the Humerus : It becomes the Brachial artery.

It descends close to the medial border of the Humerus. It passes in front of the elbow (Cubital Fossa). At the level of Neck of Radius: It divides into its two terminal branches : Radial. Ulnar.

Ulnar artery : It is the larger terminal branch. Radial artery: The smaller terminal branch. In the hand : They form: Superficial and Deep Palmar Arches.

It is the continuation of the Arch of the Aorta. At the level of the 12th thoracic vertebra: It passes through the Diaphragm to be continuous with the Abdominal Aorta.

It gives the following arteries : Pericardial. Esophageal. Bronchial. Posterior intercostal.

It enters the abdomen through the Aortic opening of the diaphragm. At the level of L4: It divides into two terminal branches : Right & Left Common Iliac arteries.

POSTERIOR ANTERIOR POPLIT TIBIAL TIBIAL

It lies: In the anterior compartment of the thigh in a Sheath with the Femoral Vein. It ends : At the lower end of the femur by entering the Popliteal space.

In the Popliteal Fossa: It is deeply placed. It divides into: Anterior & Posterior Tibial Arteries.

It is the smaller terminal branch. It becomes Superficial in its lower part . It continues to the dorsum of foot: As the Dorsalis Pedis artery.

It continues to the Sole of the Foot. It is the main source of its arterial supply.

Definition: It is the joining of branches of arteries supplying adjacent areas. Anatomic end arteries: Their terminal branches Do Not anastomose with branches of adjacent arteries.
