The internal mammary artery, also known as the internal thoracic artery, is a vital vessel supplying the anterior chest wall and breasts. This anatomy diagram of the anatomical course of the internal mammary artery shows its origin from the subclavian artery and descent along the inner surface of the anterior thoracic wall. It highlights branches such as the anterior intercostal arteries and its terminal division into the musculophrenic and superior epigastric arteries. This artery is commonly used in coronary artery bypass grafting, making its anatomy clinically significant. The diagram provides a clear understanding of its position relative to the sternum and pleura, supporting both surgical planning and anatomical study.
