Superficial Cervical Artery

This artery may arise from a common stem with the suprascapular or from the transverse cervical.

In some cases, it provides an accessory vertebral artery.

The superficial cervical artery usually has the following four origins:

1. Directly from the subclavian
2. From the stem of the inferior thyroid artery
3. From a common trunk with the superficial cervical artery
4. From a common trunk with the subscapular artery
