right anterior circumflex humeral artery

Definition

An artery that branches from the axilliary artery and supplies the deltoid, biceps brachii, and coracobrachialis muscles, the glenohumeral joint, the proximal humeral head, and the skin overlying the anterior aspect of the proximal humerus. This artery courses laterally across the anterior surface of the humerus and anastomoses with the posterior humeral circumflex artery.
