Answer 28

On the right side, it comes off of the brachiocephalic trunk. On the left it comes directly off the arch of the aorta.

Question 29

Subclavian artery path

Answer 29

Travels through the anterior and middle scalenes, then between the clavicle and R1 with the brachial plexus. Becomes the axillary artery.

Muscles supplied by the radial artery

Answer 34

The radial half of the forearm.

Question 35

Path of the ulnar artery

Answer 35

It branches off of the brachial artery, then travels down the anterior ulnar shaft. It enters the hand at the hypothenar eminence.

Question 36

Muscles supplied by the ulnar artery

Answer 36

The ulnar half of the forearm.

Question 37

Veins of the arm

Answer 37

Can be superficial or deep. The deep ones run parallel to the arteries.
