Talk:Intercostal arteries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Took out "three main groups"

I removed the heading for the list of three branches of the intercostal arteries, because these three branches really don't tell the whole story. The intercostal arteries also include the 7th, 8th, and 9th intercostal space, to which the current list could care less about, it seems. The internal mammary artery supplies those intercostal spaces, by way of the musculophrenic artery. And what about the subcostal arteries? They may not be official intercostal spaces, but they anastomose with the intercostals, so they are worth mentioning, at least. Rhetth 02:35, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
