The human body one structure at a time. Every page has a 3D model you can turn, with its parts numbered on it, where it sits, what it does and what supplies it.
25–48 of 80 · Arteries · TrunkClear filters
- Iliolumbar arteryArteria iliolumbalisA paired branch of the internal iliac artery that climbs out of the pelvis behind psoas major to supply the iliac fossa and lower lumbar region.
- Inferior epigastric arteryArteria epigastrica inferiorA paired branch of the external iliac artery that climbs the inner surface of the lower anterior abdominal wall within the rectus sheath.
- Inferior gluteal arteryArteria glutea inferiorA paired branch of the internal iliac artery that leaves the pelvis below piriformis to supply the buttock and the posterior thigh.
- Inferior lingular artery of left lungArteria lingularis inferior pulmonis sinistriThe pulmonary artery branch to the inferior lingular segment, the lowest part of the left upper lobe beside the heart.
- Inferior lobar artery of right lungArteria lobaris inferior pulmonis dextriThe final part of the right pulmonary artery, branching into the segmental arteries of the right lower lobe.
- Inferior mesenteric arteryArteria mesenterica inferiorThe unpaired artery of the hindgut, arising from the front of the abdominal aorta at the third lumbar level to feed the left colon and rectum.
- Inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteryArteria pancreaticoduodenalisA small early offshoot of the superior mesenteric artery that curves round the pancreatic head to supply it and the lower duodenum.
- Inferior phrenic arteryArteria phrenica inferiorA paired artery leaving the aorta or coeliac trunk just below the diaphragm to supply its under surface and the suprarenal glands.
- Inferior suprarenal arteryArteria suprarenalis inferiorA paired small artery, usually from the renal artery, that climbs to the lower part of the suprarenal (adrenal) gland on each side.
- Internal iliac arteryArteria iliaca internaThe chief pelvic artery, a short paired trunk that branches off the common iliac artery at the pelvic brim.
- Internal thoracic arteryArteria thoracica internaA paired branch of the subclavian artery that descends just inside the front chest wall beside the sternum.
- Intrarenal arteries of left kidneyArteriae intrarenales renis sinistriThe branching tree of arteries inside the left kidney, from the segmental arteries at the hilum to the vessels feeding each glomerulus.
- Intrarenal arteries of right kidneyArteriae intrarenales renis dextriThe arteries within the right kidney, dividing in steps from the renal hilum down to the arterioles of each glomerulus.
- Lateral thoracic arteryArteria thoracica lateralisA paired branch of the axillary artery that runs down the side of the chest along the lower edge of pectoralis minor.
- Left colic arteryArteria colica sinistraThe highest offshoot of the inferior mesenteric artery, running left behind the peritoneum to supply the descending colon and left colic flexure.
- Left gastric arteryArteria gastrica sinistraThe smallest branch of the coeliac trunk, running up to the oesophageal end of the stomach and then along its lesser curvature.
- Left pulmonary arteryArteria pulmonalis sinistraThe shorter of the two terminal branches of the pulmonary trunk, carrying deoxygenated blood from the heart into the left lung.
- Left renal arteryArteria renum sinistraThe short artery that leaves the left side of the abdominal aorta just below the superior mesenteric artery to supply the left kidney.
- Left subclavian arteryArteria subclavia sinistraThe main artery of the left upper limb, springing directly from the aortic arch and arching over the first rib behind scalenus anterior.
- Lumbar arteriesArteriae lumbalesSegmental arteries of the lower back, usually four pairs, leaving the back of the abdominal aorta opposite the upper lumbar vertebrae.
- Lumbar branch of iliolumbar arteryRamus lumbalis arteriae iliolumbalisThe upper terminal branch of the iliolumbar artery, climbing behind psoas major to supply the lowest lumbar region.
- Marginal arteryArteria marginalis coliA continuous arterial channel along the inner border of the colon, linking the colic branches of both mesenteric arteries.
- Median sacral arteryArteria sacralis medianaA slender unpaired artery that leaves the back of the aorta just above its bifurcation and runs down the midline of the sacrum to the coccyx.
- Middle colic arteryArteria colica mediaAn offshoot of the superior mesenteric artery, running in the transverse mesocolon and supplying most of the transverse colon.
