Brachial Artery

Structures traversing it: radial nerve; profunda brachii (deep brachial) artery

What our notes say

Structures traversing it: radial nerve; profunda brachii (deep brachial) artery (Aponeurosis — Anatomy Question Bank)
Contents (lateral to medial): biceps brachii tendon; brachial artery; median nerve (Aponeurosis — Anatomy Question Bank)
Mechanics — cuff occludes brachial artery blood flow; as cuff deflates, systolic = point where cuff pressure < systolic pressure (pulse audible); diastolic = point where cuff pressure < diastolic pressure (CVS History & Physical Exam: Symptoms, Chest Pain & Syncope)
Cuff lower edge 2–3 cm above elbow crease; bladder centred over brachial artery (CVS History & Physical Exam: Symptoms, Chest Pain & Syncope)
Arm: runs lateral then crosses medial to brachial artery at mid-arm. (Master First-Year Anatomy: Must-Know Essays & Key Concepts)
Cubital fossa: enters medial to biceps tendon and brachial artery; passes between two heads of pronator teres. (Master First-Year Anatomy: Must-Know Essays & Key Concepts)
