 VI. The Arteries. 4b. 2. The Brachial Artery. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
The tendon of the Biceps brachii lies to the lateral side of the artery; the radial nerve is situated upon the Supinator, and concealed by the Brachioradialis.
This variation bears considerable analogy with the normal condition of the artery in some of the carnivora; it has been referred to in the description of the humerus (p.
Laterally, it is in relation above with the median nerve and the Coracobrachialis, below with the Biceps brachii, the two muscles overlapping the artery to a considerable extent.

 Blood pressure - Open Encyclopedia
The mean blood pressure value is determined by the volume of blood the heart is pumping per minute, termed Cardiac Output, versus the resistance of the 20,000 to 30,000 arterioles, termed total peripheral resistance, through which the blood must flow to reach the capillaries and then veins.
The pulse pressure is determined by the interaction of the Stroke Volume versus the volume and elasticity of the major arteries.
For instance, about 5 mmHg mean pressure decrease in the blood flow traveling from the heart all the way to the toes is typical, assuming the individual is supine (horizontal with respect to gravity).

 Cadiovision
Blood pressure is a function of cardiovascular dynamics, which are determined by the strength of the heartbeat and the overall condition of the arterial system.
This method indirectly measures blood pressure using the relationship between the cuff pressure and the amplitude of the pulse waves caused when the brachial artery in the upper arm [i.e.
CardioVision utilizes the Oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement as opposed to the traditional method of Auscultation using a stethoscope.

 New York School Of Regional Anesthesia - Axillary Brachial Plexus Block
The axillary brachial plexus block is a basic nerve block technique, and one of the most commonly practiced blocks by anesthesiologists in the United States.
Such stretching of the brachial plexus components increases the vulnerability of the plexus during needle advancement.
The needle is advanced slowly until stimulation of the brachial plexus, arterial blood, or paresthesia is obtained.

Normotensives demonstrated no correlation between mean age and brachial artery distensibility.
Gutkin and co-investigators, from the New Jersey Medical School, Newark, NJ, set out to find out how muscular arteries behave in response to aging, and increasing distending pressure.
He recommends that 2 groups of patients, at opposite ends of the spectrum, be sent for arterial distensibility testing: those with resistant hypertension, and those whose blood pressure is slightly elevated, not high enough to warrant drug therapy.
