Artery Scapular Posterior

The posterior scapular artery (a. Scapularis Posterior) is one of the branches of the subclan artery, which is a branch of the thoracic aorta. It is located on the back of the scapula and runs along the back of the back muscles, providing blood supply to the muscles of the scapula.

The posterior scapular artery arises from the subclan artery and passes through the scapular region, where it branches into several smaller branches that provide blood supply to the muscles of the scapula, lower back and back. One of the main branches of the posterior scapular artery is the posterior subscapular artery, which passes through the subscapular region and provides blood supply to the subscapularis muscle.

In addition, the posterior scapular artery also supplies blood to other muscles of the scapula, such as the trapezius muscle and rhomboid major muscle. This artery also provides blood supply to the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the scapular region, which is important for maintaining the health and functionality of this area of ​​the body.

If the posterior scapular artery is damaged, this can lead to disruption of the blood supply to the muscles of the scapular and subscapular areas, which can cause pain, weakness and limited mobility. However, with timely treatment, this damage can be successfully repaired, thereby maintaining the health and functionality of this area of ​​the body.
