The continuation of the artery or the anterior branch, usuallydesignated simply as the intercostal artery, runs in the intercostal groove along the inferior border ofthe rib, at first being covered only by the pleura, and then passes anteriorly between the internaland external intercostal muscles; it sends a small branch to the upper border of the ribbelow, gives off cutaneous branches which appear externally (with mammary branches, see page94), and anastomoses with the anterior intercostal branches of the internal mammary artery. 3.

The anterior intercostal branches of the internal mammary artery, which pass backwardand anastomose with the aortic intercostals. These vessels run in the upper six intercostalspaces, the lower six being supplied with corresponding branches by the musculophrenic artery. The intimate relation of the intercostal arteries with the intercostal grooves, which furnishthem with an external bony protection, explains the following statements: (1) Injuries of the 6. / emiJqo aumfiljjrfT. btuta lu-MiM— 11 usdc»i ! _ ?^ ~~
