Question

1 multiple answer 1 point which arteries and veins pass close to the scalenes and the 1st rib and can become impinged? vertebral axillary brachial subclavian

Explanation:

• The subclavian artery and vein pass close to the scalene muscles and the first rib. Compression (impingement) in this area can occur, for example, in thoracic outlet syndrome.
• The vertebral artery is more related to the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebrae.
• The axillary artery is distal to the first - rib and scalene region (it is the continuation of the subclavian artery after it passes the first rib).
• The brachial artery is the continuation of the axillary artery in the upper arm.

Answer:

Subclavian
