About 4 cm from its origin it gives off two branches, first the scapular circumflex artery and then the thoracodorsal artery. From the thoracodorsal artery it supplies latissimus dorsi, while the scapular circumflex artery participates in the scapular anastamosis. It terminates in an anastomosis with the dorsal scapular artery.[1] Additional ImagesReferences1. ^{{Cite book|title=Clinically Oriented Anatomy Seventh Edition|last=Moore|first=Keith|publisher=Wolters Kluwer|year=2014|isbn=978-1-4511-1945-9|location=|pages=716–717}} {{Gray's}}External links
