- Basilar arteryArteria basilarisThe single midline artery formed by the two vertebral arteries, running up the front of the pons to supply the brainstem and back of the brain.
- Bifurcation of pulmonary trunkBifurcatio trunci pulmonalisThe point beneath the aortic arch where the pulmonary trunk splits into the right and left pulmonary arteries.
- Brachial arteryArteria brachialisThe main artery of the upper arm, continuing from the axillary artery and splitting at the elbow into the two main forearm arteries.
- Brachiocephalic trunkTruncus brachiocephalicusThe first and largest branch of the aortic arch, rising behind the sternum to divide into the right subclavian and right common carotid arteries.
- Branch to angular gyrusArteria gyri angularisA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that leaves the back of the lateral sulcus to supply the angular gyrus of the parietal lobe.
- Buccal arteryArteria buccalisA small branch of the maxillary artery that runs forwards on the buccinator to supply the cheek.
- Calcaneal branches of fibular arteryRami calcanei arteriae fibularisThe terminal branches of the fibular artery, passing behind the lateral malleolus to supply the lateral and back parts of the heel.
- Calcaneal branches of posterior tibial arteryRami calcanei arteriae tibialis posteriorisSmall branches of the posterior tibial artery near the medial ankle that pierce the flexor retinaculum to supply the medial and plantar heel.
- Callosomarginal arteryArteria callosomarginalisA large branch of the anterior cerebral artery that runs in the cingulate sulcus on the medial surface of the hemisphere.
- Central retinal arteryArteria centralis retinaeA small branch of the ophthalmic artery that travels inside the optic nerve to the eye and supplies the inner layers of the retina.
- Circumflex scapular arteryArteria circumflexa scapulaeAn offshoot of the subscapular artery that winds round the lateral border of the scapula to reach the infraspinous fossa.
- Coeliac trunkTruncus coeiiacusThe first unpaired branch of the abdominal aorta, a short trunk just below the diaphragm that supplies the organs of the upper abdomen.
- Colic branch of ileocolic arteryRamus colicus arteriae ileocolicaeThe upward branch of the ileocolic artery that climbs on the beginning of the ascending colon to join the right colic artery.
- Common hepatic arteryArteria hepatica communisA short branch of the coeliac trunk that runs to the right along the pancreas and divides into the proper hepatic and gastroduodenal arteries.
- Common iliac arteryArteria iliaca communisOne of the paired terminal branches of the abdominal aorta, running down to the pelvic brim to divide into external and internal iliac arteries.
- Common interosseous arteryArteria interossea communisA short trunk from the ulnar artery in the upper forearm that divides into the anterior and posterior interosseous arteries.
- Common palmar digital arteriesArteriae digitales palmares communesThree arteries running from the superficial palmar arch towards the finger webs, where each splits into two proper digital arteries.
- Common plantar digital arteriesArteriae digitales plantares communesArteries in the forefoot sole that continue the plantar metatarsal arteries and divide at the toe webs into proper plantar digital arteries.
- Costocervical trunkTruncus costocervicalisA short branch from the back of the subclavian artery that arches over the dome of the pleura to the first rib's neck.
- Deep brachial arteryArteria profunda brachiiThe largest branch of the brachial artery, winding with the radial nerve behind the humerus towards the outer side of the elbow.
- Deep cervical arteryArteria cervicalis profundaA branch of the costocervical trunk that climbs the back of the neck among the deep muscles as high as the axis.
- Deep femoral arteryArteria profunda femorisThe largest branch of the femoral artery, running deep in the thigh close to the femur and providing most of the thigh's blood.
