Thyrocervical trunk

a short, wide vessel arising from the first part of the subclavian artery near the medial border of the scalenus anterior muscle. It divides almost immediately into inferior thyroid, suprascapular and superficial cervical arteries. In about one third of individuals the suprascapular and superficial cervical arteries arise as a common trunk from the cervical trunk known as the transverse cervical artery.
