It is divided into 3 parts by Pectoralis minor muscle, 1^st part gives superior thoracic artery, 2^nd part gives 2 anches– Thoracoacromial artery, lateral thoracic artery & 3^rd part give rises to 3 anches –Subscapularis artery, Anterior circumflex humeral artery & Posterior circumflex humeral artery. An anomalous anching pattern in axillary artery was found during routine anatomical dissection on the right upper limb of a 55 year old male cadaver.
