Anatomical terms of location

Standard anatomical terms of location deal unambiguously with the anatomy of animals, including humans.

Artery

An artery (plural arteries) is a blood vessel that takes blood away from the heart to all parts of the body (tissues, lungs, etc).

Axillary artery

In human anatomy, the axillary artery is a large blood vessel that conveys oxygenated blood to the lateral aspect of the thorax, the axilla (armpit) and the upper limb.

Biceps

The biceps, also biceps brachii is a two-headed muscle that lies on the upper arm between the shoulder and the elbow.

New!!: Brachial artery and Biceps · See more »

Blood pressure

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.

New!!: Brachial artery and Blood pressure · See more »

Blood vessel

The blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system, and microcirculation, that transports blood throughout the human body.

Brachial veins

In human anatomy, the brachial veins are venae comitantes of the brachial artery in the arm proper.

Coracobrachialis muscle

The coracobrachialis is the smallest of the three muscles that attach to the coracoid process of the scapula.

Cubital fossa

The cubital fossa or elbow pit is the triangular area on the anterior view of the elbow of a human or other hominid animal.

Deep artery of arm

The deep artery of arm (also known as arteria profunda brachii and the deep brachial artery) is a large vessel which arises from the lateral and posterior part of the brachial artery, just below the lower border of the teres major.

Elbow

The elbow is the visible joint between the upper and lower parts of the arm.

Femoral artery

The femoral artery is a large artery in the thigh and the main arterial supply to the leg.

Forearm

The forearm is the region of the upper limb between the elbow and the wrist.

New!!: Brachial artery and Forearm · See more »

Humerus

The humerus (plural: humeri) is a long bone in the arm or forelimb that runs from the shoulder to the elbow.

New!!: Brachial artery and Humerus · See more »

Inferior ulnar collateral artery

The inferior ulnar collateral artery (anastomotica magna artery) is a artery in the arm.

New!!: Brachial artery and Inferior ulnar collateral artery · See more »

Median nerve

The median nerve is a nerve in humans and other animals in the upper limb.

New!!: Brachial artery and Median nerve · See more »

Palpation

Palpation is the process of using one's hands to check the body, especially while perceiving/diagnosing a disease or illness.

New!!: Brachial artery and Palpation · See more »

Pulse

In medicine, a pulse represents the tactile arterial palpation of the heartbeat by trained fingertips.

New!!: Brachial artery and Pulse · See more »

Radial artery

In human anatomy, the radial artery is the main artery of the lateral aspect of the forearm.

New!!: Brachial artery and Radial artery · See more »

Sphygmomanometer

A sphygmomanometer, also known as a blood pressure meter, blood pressure monitor, or blood pressure gauge, is a device used to measure blood pressure, composed of an inflatable cuff to collapse and then release the artery under the cuff in a controlled manner, and a mercury or mechanical manometer to measure the pressure.

Stethoscope

The stethoscope is an acoustic medical device for auscultation, or listening to the internal sounds of an animal or human body.

New!!: Brachial artery and Stethoscope · See more »

Superior ulnar collateral artery

The superior ulnar collateral artery (inferior profunda artery), of small size, arises from the brachial artery a little below the middle of the arm; it frequently springs from the upper part of the a. profunda brachii.

Tendon

A tendon or sinew is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension.

Teres major muscle

The teres major muscle is a muscle of the upper limb.

Triceps

The triceps, also triceps brachii (Latin for "three-headed muscle of the arm"), is a large muscle on the back of the upper limb of many vertebrates.
