Fig. 123.—Subclavian and Axillary Arteries (Testut). The thyroid axis is a short trunk; it gives a branch to thethyroid gland and others to the neck and shoulder. An axis (artery) is a short vessel dividing at once into two or three. The axillary artery is a continuation of the subclavian. Itbegins, therefore, where the subclavian ends—in the apex of theaxilla, at the lower border of the first rib—and continues throughthe axillary space (Fig. 123). .Axillary space, p. 300. 172 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY FOR NURSES. Branches (thoracic, subscapular, circumflex.)—To all structuresaround the axilla. One, the lateral thoracic, gives arteries to themammary gland. The brachial artery begins where the axillary ends, at thelower border of the axilla, or armpit, and extends downward in

Its branchessupply the muscles of the humerus and the bone itself. (Themedian nerve lies next to this artery under the border of the bicepsmuscle.) (Figs. 123, 125.) RADIAL AND ULNAR ARTERIES. ^n The radial and the ulnar arteries pass downward in the radial and ulnar sides of the fore-arm to the hands. The radialsupplies the muscles in frontof the radius, and winds tothe back of the wrist to findits way to the palm by pass-ing forward between the firsttwo metacarpal bones. Itforms the deep palmararch, which crosses thepalm under the long tendons(Fig. 124). The ulnar supplies themuscles in front of the ulna,and forms the superficialpalmar arch, which crossesover the long tendons in thepalm (Fig. 125). Note.—The superfic
