Detailed explanation-3: -Beyond the first rib where it passes underneath the clavicle, the subclavian artery becomes the axillary artery and passes underneath the pectoralis minor muscle.
Detailed explanation-4: -The axillary artery gives out three branches at the portion, the subscapular artery, the lateral humeral circumflex artery, and the medial circumflex artery.
