  • Occipital Artery
    • * Arises from the external carotid artery, just above the superior border of the posterior belly of the digastric muscle.
    • * Runs posteriorly and superiorly along the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and enters the scalp via the occipitalis muscle. * Gives off muscular branches to the deep muscles of the neck, including the semispinalis capitis and splenius capitis muscles.
    • * Also gives off cutaneous branches to the skin of the scalp and posterior part of the ear.
    • * Anastomoses with the posterior auricular artery and branches of the vertebral artery.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
  • Transverse Cervical Artery​​​​​​​
    • * Arises from the thyrocervical trunk, a branch of the subclavian artery.
    • * Runs laterally across the posterior triangle of the neck, deep to the platysma muscle.
    • * Gives off branches to the anterior and lateral muscles of the neck, including the trapezius, levator scapulae, and rhomboid muscles.
    • * Also gives off a superficial branch, the superficial cervical artery, which supplies blood to the skin of the neck and upper chest.
    • * Anastomoses with the deep cervical artery and branches of the occipital artery.Superficial tissues of the back
