Dorsal ( ramus ) branch: It supplies the spinal cord, vertebra and muscles, and skin of the back. • 2. Collateral branch: • 3. Muscular branches: supply intercostal, pectoral,and serratus anterior muscles. • 4. Lateral cutaneous branch: • 5. Mammary branches (external mammary arteries) : They arise from posterior intercostals arteries of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th intercostal spaces and supply the breast mammary gland. • 6. Right bronchial artery: It arises from right 3rd posterior intercostal artery. • #posteriorintercostalartery #intercostalartery #drgbhanuprakash #anatomyvideos #anatomyusmle #anatomymbbs #anatomylectures #usmlestep1 #usmle #usmleprep #usmlecoaching #usmlecourse #usmlestudents #usmleexams #usmlestep1videos
