A left brachial plexus and axillary artery of bonobo (Pan paniscus) were examined, and the interrelation between the brachial plexus and the axillary artery was discussed. This is the first report of the brachial plexus and the axillary artery of bonobo. The bonobo brachial plexus formed very similar pattern to that of other ape species and human. On the other hand, the branches of the bonobo axillary artery had uncommon architecture in comparison with human case. The axillary artery did not penetrate the brachial plexus and passes through all way along anterior to the brachial plexus. Only 4.9% of human forelimbs have this pattern. Moreover, the brachial artery runs through superficially anterior to branches of the brachial plexus.
对一只倭黑猩猩（Pan paniscus）的左臂丛神经和腋动脉进行了检查，并讨论了臂丛神经与腋动脉之间的相互关系。这是关于倭黑猩猩臂丛神经和腋动脉的首次报告。倭黑猩猩的臂丛神经形成的模式与其他猿类和人类非常相似。另一方面，与人类情况相比，倭黑猩猩腋动脉的分支结构 uncommon。腋动脉没有穿过臂丛神经，而是一直沿着臂丛神经前方走行。只有4.9%的人类前肢有这种模式。此外，肱动脉在臂丛神经分支前方浅表走行。
