Which of the following arteries does NOT branch off from the brachial artery?

A) axillary artery
B) median cubital artery
C) collateral ulnar artery
D) radial artery
E) ulnar artery


A
Explanation:
B) The axillary artery becomes the brachial artery as it enters the forelimb. Just proximal to the elbow, the median cubital artery and collateral ulnar artery branch from the brachial artery. Distal to the elbow, the brachial artery continues and gives rise to the radial artery and the ulnar artery.
C) The axillary artery becomes the brachial artery as it enters the forelimb. Just proximal to the elbow, the median cubital artery and collateral ulnar artery branch from the brachial artery. Distal to the elbow, the brachial artery continues and gives rise to the radial artery and the ulnar artery.
D) The axillary artery becomes the brachial artery as it enters the forelimb. Just proximal to the elbow, the median cubital artery and collateral ulnar artery branch from the brachial artery. Distal to the elbow, the brachial artery continues and gives rise to the radial artery and the ulnar artery.
E) The axillary artery becomes the brachial artery as it enters the forelimb. Just proximal to the elbow, the median cubital artery and collateral ulnar artery branch from the brachial artery.
