Question

multiple choice question
which artery continues down the medial and anterior sides of the humerus supplying the anterior flexor muscles of the brachium?

• brachial artery
• radial artery
• humeral artery
• subclavian

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the anatomy of arteries in the arm. The brachial artery runs down the medial and anterior sides of the humerus, supplying the anterior flexor muscles of the brachium. The radial artery is a branch of the brachial (supplies forearm), humeral artery is not a standard term here, and subclavian artery is more proximal (supplies the arm but transitions to brachial).

Answer:

A. Brachial artery
