Repetitve rapid arm movements (as seen in Baseball Pitchers) can lead to pain and loss of sensation, why?
Axillary A. Aneurysm
Region one of the Axillary A. is susceptible to anyuerism that can compress the Brachial Plexus and cause loss of sensation

What is the 5th branch off the Axillary A.?
How does it travel?
What does it supply?
Anterior Circumflex Humeral A.
Travels around Surgical Neck of Humerus
Supplies Glenohumeral Joint and Head of humerus
What is the final branch off the Axillary A.?
Where does it travel?
What does it supply?

Supplies surrounding musculature and glenohumeral joint
To cut off all blood flow to the arm, ligation must occur at what location?
Distal to Subscapular A.
Ligation of the Axillary A. reverses blood flow in the Subscapular A. due to collateral circulation arriving via Suprascapular A., Transverse Cervical, and Intercostal A. to the scapular region and continuing feeding blood to the Brachial A.
The BRachial A. starts at the border of what muscle?
Inferior Border of Teres Major M.

Median Cubital V.

Frequently invaded by cancer cells from elsewhere in the body, especially the breast
