deep brachial artery

The arteria profunda brachii (also known as deep artery of the arm and the deep brachial artery) is a large vessel which arises from the medial and back part of the brachial, just below the lower border of the Teres major.

What the deep brachial artery is

The arteria profunda brachii (also known as deep artery of the arm and the deep brachial artery) is a large vessel which arises from the medial and back part of the brachial, just below the lower border of the Teres major. [WP,unvetted]. The atlas records it as a artery at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the deep brachial artery is

It sits in the upper limb, within the cardiovascular system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the deep brachial artery connects to

The atlas records 11 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, appendage girdle complex and arm, and 5 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the deep brachial artery. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
