axillary artery
what structures pass through the triangular space
dorsal scapular artery which joins the scapular anastamosis
significance of scapular anastamosis
used as a collateral circulation when there is a block in the proximal part of the axillary artery since it interconnects braches from the subclavian artery and third part of axillary a.
