Figure 7.
Arteries in skin of the anterior aspect
of the thorax dissected from cadaver,
from the book by Salmon {2083}. Xray image, vessels infused
with radioopaque solution. Original from which this was scanned
was half size. A circular metal ring marks the nipple. Scale can be appreciated from some fragments of
metal needles seen in the Xray. Largest vessels appear to be
nearly a millimeter in diameter. Connections to perforators from
below occur at the intersections in the mesh as well as along the
lengths of the larger vessels.
