BRANCHES OF THE THORACIC AORTA

The =bronchial= and =œsophageal= arteries often arise separately.

Ten pairs of =intercostal arteries= usually arise from the aorta. The

other three come from the subcostal artery.

The two =phrenic arteries= are very variable in origin. They may come

from the aorta, the cœliac, left ruminal, or an intercostal or lumbar

artery.
