    107- The inferior thyroid axis giving off the in- ferior thyroid, supra-scapular superficial, and ascending cervical arteries. 108. Inferior thyroid artery.® 109. 109. Branches proceeding to the thyroid body. 110. A small branch sent to the trachea. 111. The inferior or ascending laryngeal artery. 112. A small branch to the long-us colli muscle. 113. Supra scapular artery.b 114 The small trunk of the superficial and as- cending cervical. 115. Superficial cervical artery. 116. A small branch to the omo-hyoid muscle cut. 117. 118. Small twigs proceeding to the levator scapulae. 119. A small branch to the trapezius. 120. Ascending cervical artery. 121. 122, 123. Branches running into the leva- tor scapula?. 124, 125. Small branches to the scaleni muscles. 126. Small branches to the levator scapula? and muscles of the neck. 127. The vertebral artery. 128. Transverse artery of the neck, or dorsal artery of the scapula.c 129. A branch running to the trapezius. 130. The trunk of the transverse artery of the neck dipping under the levator muscle of the scapula. 131. The subclavian artery, which, after escap- ing from between the clavicle and first rib, assumes the name of the axillary artery. 132. The axillary artery. 133. A small branch to the serratus magnus an- ticus, and first rib. 3 This artery sometimes originates from tlie common carotid itself; as has been observed by Nicolai, (1. c. p. 28. ;) Haller, (Elem. Pbys. T. iii. p. 403.;) Vink, (Yan. de Bloed Vaten, p. 50. ;) Bohmer, (1. c. p. 81.;) Neubauer, (1. c. § 7.;) J. F. Meckel, (Epist. ad Hallerum, T. ii. p. 258.;) EIuber, (Act. Helvet. T. viii. p. 84. ;) J. F. Meckel, (Grandson,) (Tab. Anat. Patbol. Fasc. 2. T. x. Fig. 3.) I have frequently observed this both in men and women. Sometimes two inferior thyroid arteries are present, either upon the right or left side, one of which arises as usual from the subclavian artery, and the other from the common carotid. Burns once saw a pretty large artery, branching off from the subclavian, which ultimately separated into the inferior thyroid arteries of the right and left sides. |J This artery, for the most part, arises from the inferior thyroid, rarely from the subclavian itself. I once saw it given off from the internal mammary artery. c The transverse artery of the neck, for the most part, takes its origin from the subclavian artery, seldom from the inferior thyroid. 134. The short thoracic. 135. A twig sent to the lesser pectoral muscle. 136. 136. Branches to the pectoralis major muscle truncated. 137. A small twig to the serratus magnus anticus. 138. Humeral, or acromial thoracic artery. 139. A clavicular twig. 140. An acromial branch. 141. Small branch going to the deltoid muscle. 142. 143. Minute branches to the greater pec- toral muscle cut. 144. The long thoracic. 145. Small branch to the pectoralis minor mus- cle. 146. 146, 146, 146. Small branches to the ser- ratus magnus muscle. 147- A slender twig inosculating with the tho- racic artery, which is given off from the subscapular artery. 148. The axillary artery descending between the pectoralis minor, and subscapularis muscles. 149. Subscapular artery. 150. Branch to the subscapuiar muscle. 151. Thoracic branch. 152. A slender twig to the axillary lymphatic glands. 153. 153, 153, 153. Branches which are sent to the latissimus dorsi muscle. 154. 154, 154. Small branches to the lower por- tions of the serratus magnus. 155. Circumflex artery of the scapula. 156. A slender twig to the teres major muscle. 157. Brandies to the subscapuiar and teres mi- nor muscles, and long head of the triceps. 158. Proper circumflex branch. 159. Small branch to the latissimus dorsi. 160. A slender twig to the coraco-brachialis muscle. 161. Anterior circumflex’ artery of the humerus. 162. Posterior circumflex artery of the hume- rus.*1 163. Humeral or brachial artery. 164. Branch to the coraco-brachialis and biceps. 165. A small branch to the long head of the triceps. 166. Branch to the biceps. 167- The superior profunda. 168. A small cutaneous branch cut. d The circumflex arteries of the humerus not unfrequently either arises from, or form a common trunk with, the sub- scapuiar artery.
