Correct Answer: Posterior humeral circumflex
Description: The posterior humeral circumflex aery anastomoses with an ascending branch of the profunda brachii aery, whereas the lateral thoracic and subscapular aeries do not. The superior ulnar collateral and radial recurrent aeries arise inferior to the origin of the profunda brachii aery.
