L passes over dome of pleura and gives off internal thoracic, thyrocervical trunk, vertebral, transverse cervical and suprascapular
called the axillar artery once crosses lateral border of 1st rib, gives off 2 branches behind pec minor: thoraco-acromial and lateral thoracic. 3 more branches in axilla: subscapular, anterior and posterior circumflex humeral
called brachial artery at level of inferior border teres major
