Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manual of Practical Anatomy, Vol. 2: Thorax; Head and Neck
Placed in front of the internal mammary artery are the upper six costal cartilages, with the intervening intercostal muscles and anterior intercostal membranes. It is crossed by the series of intercostal nerves before they turn forwards to gain the surface. In the upper part of its course the artery is supported behind by the pleura, but lower down it rests upon the triangularis sterni, which intervenes between it and the pleural sac.
