The brachial artery is located in the upper arm, running from the axillary artery at the lower margin of the teres major muscle to the elbow, where it bifurcates into the radial and ulnar arteries. It lies medial to the biceps brachii muscle and is often palpated for pulse checks in the upper arm. Its primary function is to supply blood to the arm and forearm.
