Follow the musculocutaneous nerve as it travels distally between the biceps brachii and brachialis muscles. Find the ulnar nerve in the axilla; follow it distally to the elbow joint. The ulnar nerve lies between the olecranon and the medial epicondyle. Here, it is only covered by skin and superficial fascia. The brachial artery is a continuation of the axillary artery. It begins at the inferior border of teres major muscle. Find the median nerve in the axilla; trace its path as it as it courses distally with the brachial artery. Identify a major branch of the brachial artery, the deep brachial artery (l. arteria profunda brachii. Identify the proximal and distal attachments of muscles of the anterior compartment of the arm.
