nätharmsartären
Nätharmsartären, also known as the posterior scalp artery, is a blood vessel that supplies the posterior part of the scalp. It originates from the occipital artery, a branch of the external carotid artery, which itself arises from the common carotid artery. The nätharmsartären extends upward and slightly medially across the posterior occipital region, providing vascularization to the skin, subcutaneous tissues, and muscles of the scalp in the occipital and nuchal areas.
This artery typically gives off branches that participate in the formation of an extensive network of anastomoses
The nätharmsartären is of clinical significance in surgical procedures involving the scalp, such as excisions, craniotomies,
The artery’s course and its branches can vary among individuals, and detailed knowledge of its anatomy is
Overall, the nätharmsartären is a vital vessel within the complex network of arteries that supply the scalp,
