Arteries off the subclavian A Flashcards
Vertebral Artery
Goes to the brain via the transverse foramen
First artery off going posterior of the Subclavian A
Thyrocervical Trunk
Second Artery going posterior of Subclavian A gives rise to : Suprasubscapular A Transverse Cervical A Ascending Cervical A Inferior Thyroid A
Suprasubscapular A
Comes off the thyrocervical Trunk
and gives blood to:
Supraspinatus M
Infraspinatus M
Transverse Cervical A
the second artery off the thyrocervical trunk
gives blood to:
Trapezius M
Ascending Cervical A
the last branch of the Thyrocervical A
gives blood to:
Neck Structures
Inferior Thyroid A
the remaining of the Thyrocervical A
gives blood to:
Thyroid Gland
Internal Thoracic A
1st branch inferiorly of the subclavian A
gives blood to:
Anterior Thoracic Wall
Costocervical Trunk
4th break off the subclavian A and is posterior of the artery’
will break into :
Deep Cervical A
Supreme Intercostal A
Dorsal Scapular A
The last break off the subclavian A before turning into axillary artery gives blood to: Rhomboid Major M Rhomboid Minor M Levator Scapulae M
Axillary A
Starts after the subclavian passes the first costal or rib give rise to 6 branches Superior Thoracic A Thoracoacromial Trunk Lateral Thoracic A Subscapular A Anterior and Posterior circumflex A
Superior Thoracic A
goes medially to the anterior Thoracic Wall
Lateral Thoracic A
Goes medially to Serratus Anterior M
Subscapular A
goes medially and has the circumflex scapular A branch off and becomes Thoacodorsal A
gives blood to:
Latissimus Dorsi
Circumflex scapular
branches off of the subscapular A and gives blood to Infraspinatus and Teres Major and Teres Minor
Thoracoacromial Trunk
Gives blood to 4 muscle groups, Clavicle Deltoid m Acromion Pectorialis Major and Minor m
