    The document summarizes key information about the axillary artery including its origin, course, relations, branches, and applied anatomy. It originates from the subclavian artery, courses through the axilla from the outer border of the first rib to the lower border of the teres major muscle, and terminates as the brachial artery. Along its course, it has anterior, posterior, medial, and lateral relations to surrounding structures. It gives off branches in its three parts, including the thoracoacromial trunk and lateral thoracic artery in its second part, and the posterior circumflex humeral, anterior circumflex humeral, and subscapular arteries in its third part. The axillary artery is clinically
