The thyrocervical trunks are very small arteries of the neck arising from the subclavian arteries, lateral to the vertebral arteries. [1] They divide into branches: the inferior thyroid artery, suprascapular artery, and the transverse cervical artery. The thyrocervical trunks supply the thyroid gland and some scapular muscles. [1]

By this method, body diagrams can be derived by pasting organs into one of the "plain" body images shown below. This method requires a graphics editor that can handle transparent images, in order to avoid white squares around the organs when pasting onto the body image. Pictures of organs are found on the project's main page. These were ...
