COCCYGEAL ARTERY

• It gives off in its course, spinal branches to the coccygeal muscles and two lateral coccygeal arteries.
• These divide into dorsal and ventral branches and are connected with the middle coccygeal artery at regular intervals.
• They supply branches to the coccygeal muscles.
• The middle coccygeal artery runs through the haemal arches of the coccygeal vertebrae and supplies coccygeal muscles.
