The '''subclavian artery''' gives rise to the '''superficial cervical artery''', before it becomes the '''axillary artery'''. The '''deltoid branch''' of the superficial cervical artery accompanies the '''cephalic vein''' (arises from the external jugular vein) though a groove between the ''brachiocephalicus'' and ''pectoralis descendens''. The '''axillary vessels''' give rise to the following vessels before becoming the '''brachial artery''':
