Subscapular Branches

The subscapularis are two thin and short branches that arise from the lateral edge of the scapula and go to the subscapularis muscle. They provide blood supply and innervation to this muscle, as well as adjacent tissues.

The subscapularis branches are a continuation of the ascending branch of the subscapularis muscle and begin from the lateral border of the scapula. They pass down and forward, go around the subscapularis muscle and connect to its lateral surface. After this, they continue their journey to the subscapular triangle, where they supply blood and nerve fibers to this area.

The structural and functional significance of the subscapularis branches is to provide nutritional and neural support to the subscapularis muscle. They are also involved in the regulation of body temperature, since the subscapularis muscle is one of the main thermal regulators of the body.

However, if the subscapularis branches are damaged or blocked due to injury, infection, or other diseases, their function may be impaired and various complications may develop. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of the subscapular branches and, if necessary, treat them.
