Arteries can be abnormally lengthened causing them to become twisted, forming kinks and loops called as tortuous artery. Tortuous artery can occur in the coronary, axillary, brachial, radial, and ulnar arteries. The most common is the tortuous brachial artery. Arterial knowledge is important for embryogenetic reasons and to know the variations of arteries for the cardiologists and radiologist to do clinical procedures. The main aim of the study is done to find out any anomalous arteries and to categorize its embryological, genetic, and clinical significance. The main objective is to perform the dissection in both the limbs of the 15 cadavers, to analyse the abnormalities in both the sides of the upper limb, to correlate the findings with embryological, genetic and clinical significance and to add the variable to the existing literature. The study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research in a 15 formalin fixed Cadavers and looked for tortuosity of the arteries, data collected and evaluated. Normal limbs were included for the study and damaged limbs were excluded.
