🗑
anterior divisions   The trunks of the brachial plexus give rise to these as well as a similar set of structures that pass posteriorly.  
🗑

🗑
axillary artery   This artery begins at the end of the subclavian artery and ends with the beginning of the brachial artery. It has three branches that we will study in the cat: the ventral thoracic artery, the lateral (long) thoracic artery, and the subscapular artery.
