The blood supply of brachial plexus is described by means of lightened injected specimens of older human fetus. The following arteries have direct branches to brachial plexus: the aortic arch/brachiocephalica trunk, subclavia a., thyrocervical trunk, ascending cervical a., transverse cervical a., suprascapular a., and the acromial network. Secondary branches leave them that partly anastomose and also return from distal to proximal. The blood supply is luxurious.
