1 The 1st and 2nd posterior intercostal arteries arise from the supreme intercostal artery, a branch of the costocervical trunk of the subclavian artery. 2  The lower nine arteries are the aortic intercostals, so called because they arise from the back of the thoracic aorta.
The intercostal nerves are distributed chiefly to the thoracic pleura and abdominal peritoneum and differ from the anterior roots of the other spinal nerves in that each pursues an independent course without plexus formation.he 7th intercostal nerve terminates at the xyphoid process, at the lower end of the sternum. The 10th intercostal nerve terminates at the navel. The twelfth (subcostal) thoracic is distributed to the abdominal wall and groin.
