The subscapular posterior circumflex and thoracica axillaris branches are seen in the figure betweenthe inferior thoracic and subscapular. The anterior circumflex is observed, between thetwo heads of the biceps, crossing the neck of the humerus. 15. The superior profundaartery. 16. The inferior profunda. 17.

The Superior thoracic (short) frequently arises by a common trunkwith the preceding; it runs along the upper border of the peetoralisminor, and is distributed to the pectoral muscles and mammarygland, inosculating with the intercostal and mammary arteries. The Inferior thoracic (long external mammary) descends alongthe lower border of the peetoralis minor to the side of the is distributed to the peetoralis major and minor, serratus magnus,and subscapularis muscle, to the axillary glands and mammarygland; inosculating with the superior thoracic, intercostal, andmammary arteries. The Thoracica axillaris is a small branch distributed to the plexusof nerves and glands in the axilla. It is frequently derived from oneof the other thoracic branches. The Subscapular artery, the largest of the branches of the axillary,runs along
