AXILLARY ARTERY. 

 Fig. 120.* 



* The axillary and brachial artery, with their branches. 1 . The deltoid 

 muscle. 2. The biceps. 3. The tendinous process given off from the tendon 

 of the biceps, to the deep fascia of the fore-arm. It is this process which sepa- 

 rates the median basilic vein from the brachial artery. 4, The outer border of 

 the brachialis anticus muscle. 5. The supinator longus. 6. The coraco-bra- 

 chialis. 7. The middle portion of the triceps muscle. 8. Its inner head. Q. 

 The axillary artery. 10. The brachial artery ; a dark line marks the limit 

 between these two vessels. 1 1 . The thoracica acrpmialis artery dividing into its 

 three branches ; the number rests upon the coracoid process. 12. The superior 

 and inferior thoracic arteries. 13. The serratus magnus muscle. 14. The sub- 

 scapular artery. The posterior circumflex and thoracica axillaris branches are 

 seen in the figure between the inferior thoracic and subscapular. The anterior 

 circumflex is observed, between the two heads of the biceps, crossing the neck 

 of the humerus. 15 The superior profunda artery. 10. The inferior pro- 

 funda. 17. The anastomotica magna inosculating mferiorly with the anterior 

 ulnar recurrent. 18. The termination of the superior profunda, inosculating 

 with the radial recurrent in the interspace between the brachialis anticus and 

 supinator longus.
