Description
The brachial lymph vessels are three to five deep lymph vessels of the arm. They are a continuation of the ulnar and radial lymph vessels of the forearm. They follow the brachial artery, deep brachial artery, and superior collateral ulnar artery in the arm, transporting lymph to the lateral axillary lymph nodes.
