Artery Brachial Superficial

The superficial brachial artery (a. Brachialis superficialis) is one of the branches of the brachial artery and is located on the surface of the shoulder girdle. It provides blood supply to the muscles and skin of the shoulder.

The superficial brachial artery begins from the brachial artery, which passes through the lateral surface of the shoulder joint. It then passes through the deltoid muscle and enters the humerus.

In the shoulder girdle, the superficial brachial artery provides blood supply to the deltoid muscle, as well as the skin and muscles of the shoulder. It also supplies blood to the shoulder joints and surrounding tissues.

Diseases associated with the superficial brachial artery can include injury, infection, and circulatory problems. Symptoms of the disease may include pain, numbness, weakness, and impaired shoulder function.

Imaging methods such as ultrasound and computed tomography are used to diagnose diseases of the superficial brachial artery. Treatment may include conservative methods such as physical therapy and medication, as well as surgery.

Thus, the superficial brachial artery plays an important role in the blood supply to the shoulder girdle and can be susceptible to disease. Diagnosis and treatment of these diseases require the knowledge and experience of medical professionals.
