Arteria axillaris

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at the axillary artery, its origin, course, and branches. It begins with the axillary artery's continuation from the subclavian artery and its transition to the brachial artery. The artery is divided into three sections, each giving rise to different branches, including the superior thoracic, lateral thoracic, and subscapular arteries. The tutorial also uses visual aids to help identify these branches and their paths, emphasizing their anatomical relationships with surrounding structures.
