Deltoid Branch of Thoracoacromial Artery

The deltoid branch of thoracoacromial artery, often arising with the acromial, crosses over the Pectoralis minor and passes in the same groove as the cephalic vein, between the Pectoralis major and Deltoideus, and gives branches to both muscles.

    You now but wisdom, exile? Stand and live,
    The dove has brought an olive branch to eat.
