The exact location of the brachial artery is located on the medial aspect of the upper arm, and anatomically, it is the axillary artery that migrates downward at the lower edge of the stop of the latissimus dorsi muscle to form the brachial artery. It travels in the depression of the medial border of the medial head of the biceps muscle and travels downward from the median nerve to the elbow fossa, where it is divided into the radial and ulnar arteries. Because of its superficial location, the radial artery is the point of palpation for pulses or for measuring blood pressure. The brachial artery is palpable throughout, and when there is severe blood loss in the limb, the brachial artery can be squeezed laterally onto the humeral wall to stop the bleeding.
