The brachial artery stems from the axillary artery and continues down the arm's anterior surface. It, along with the bicep tendon and the medial cubital vein, comprises the cubital fossa, the triangular depression on the front side of the elbow. The brachial artery then branches out into two arteries, the radial and the ulnar, which run down the forearm. Using either a sphygmomanometer or a stethoscope, blood pressure can be measured using the brachial artery.
