12. Radial Arteries





Radial Arteries. This is the major blood vessels of the (upper arm). It is the continuation of the axillary artery beyond the lower margin of teres major muscle. It continues down the ventral surface of the arm until it reaches the cubital fossa at the elbow. It then divides into the radial and ulnar arteries which run down the forearm.

MT's avoid this area because of the major blood vessel and close proximity to median nerve.
