Apart from muscular branches, the names ofthe  branches of the profunda brachii artery are:

• Nutrient artery to the humerus near the deltoid tuberosity.
• The ascending branch ascends between lthe ong and lateral heads of triceps to anastomose with the posterior circumflex humeral artery.
• Radial collateral artery is the continuation of the profunda brachii artery and pierces the lateral intermuscular septum with the radial nerve, reaches the elbow and anastomoses with the radial recurrent artery.
• The middle collateral artery, also called the posterior descending branch, descends through the medial head of the triceps, reaches the elbow, and anastomoses with the interosseus recurrent artery.
