M11-A1: Scapular Anastomosis

1. In a subclavian artery block at outer border of first rib, all of the following arteries help in maintaining the circulation to upper limb except:

a. Subscapular artery.

b. Superior thoracic artery.

c. Thyrocervical trunk.

d. Suprascapular artery.



Scapular anastomosis between

1st part of Subclavian   and 3rd part of Axillary arteries


Axillary artery -divided by pectoralis minor into 3 parts

Branches:

1st part- one----->     Superior Thoracic artery

2nd part- two ----->  Thoraco-acromial artery
                                  Lateral thoracic artery

3rd part- three -----> Subscapular artery.
                                  Anterior circumflex humeral a.
                                  Posterior circumflex humeral a.

Subclavian Artery- divided by scalenus anterior into 3 parts:

Branches:

1st part: ---> Vertebral artery
                      Internal Thoracic
                      Thyrocervical trunk---->3 branches --Inferior thyroid,
                                                                                 Transverse (sup) cervical,
                                                                                 Suprascapular   


2nd part----> Costocervical trunk---->2 br-- Superior intercostal a.
                                                                       Deep cervical a.


3rd part-----> No branch ( occ dorsal scapular a. or suprascapular)
