N2 - In this paper, we show that every finite spatial graph is a connected sum of a planar graph, which is a forest, and a tangle. As a consequence, we get that any finite spatial graph is a connected sum of a planar graph and a braid. Using these decompositions it is not difficult to find a set of generators and defining relations for the fundamental group of compliment of a spatial graph in 3-space 3.
