The Subcalvian Artery follows thorough to the arm-pit (Axilla) where it is called the Axillary artery, and goes on into the upper arm where it is called the Brachial Artery. Just below the elbow, the Brachial Artery divides into 2 - the Ulnar and Radial Arteries. The Ulnar Artery runs down the side of the forearm that is on the little finger side - the Radial Artery runs down the forearm on the Thumb side.
In the hand, both arteries meet and connect in the Palmar Arch. Actually there are 2 Palmar arches - the Deep and Superfical Palmar Arches. Each of the digits - thumb and each finger - has 2 Digital Arteries. These arise from the Palmar Arches and run up each side of the bone in each digit.
