The three branches of the aortic arch include the common carotid artery, left subclavian artery, and brachiocephalic trunk. After passing the first rib, the subclavian artery becomes the axillary artery. Upon entering the arm, the axillary artery becomes the brachial artery. At the level of the first rib, the axillary vein becomes the subclavian vein. The union of the subclavian vein with the internal and external jugular veins forms the brachiocephalic vein. The union of the brachiocephalic veins forms the superior vena cava. The median cubital vein is commonly used for venipuncture in the arm. Two vessels on each side of the neck supply blood to the brain, the carotid artery and vertebral artery. The inferior vena cava receives blood from the parts of the large intestine. The superior mesenteric artery supplies blood to the pancreas. The portal vein joins the hepatic vessels to form the hepatic portal vein.

Rotate the model to an anterior view. What is the correct order of the arteries that would carry blood from the proximal end of the humerus to the anterior side of the metacarpals via the medial side of the antebrachial region?
The _________ run(s) adjacent to the medial surface of the upper limb and eventually helps form the axillary vein.
