- Middle lobar artery of right lungArteria lobaris media pulmonis dextriThe branch of the right pulmonary artery that supplies the middle lobe, arising in the fissures of the right lung.
- Musculophrenic arteryArteria musculoohrenicaThe lateral terminal branch of the internal thoracic artery, running along the costal margin behind the lower costal cartilages.
- Obturator arteryArteria obturatoriaA paired pelvic artery, usually from the internal iliac, that runs along the side wall of the pelvis and leaves it through the obturator canal for the medial thigh.
- Pectoral branches of thoraco-acromial arteryRami pectorales arteriae thoracoacromialisThe branches of the thoraco-acromial artery that run down between the two pectoral muscles to supply them.
- Posterior branch of renal arteryRamus posterior arteriae renalisThe smaller of the two primary divisions of the renal artery, passing behind the renal pelvis to supply the back of the kidney.
- Posterior division of internal iliac arteryDivisio posterior arteriae iliacae internaecusThe posterior trunk of the internal iliac artery, a short stem giving the iliolumbar, lateral sacral and superior gluteal arteries.
- Posterior intercostal arteriesArteriae intercostales posterioresPaired segmental arteries running in each intercostal space from behind, mostly straight from the thoracic aorta, beneath the lower edge of each rib.
- Proper hepatic arteryArteria hepatica propriaThe continuation of the common hepatic artery beyond the gastroduodenal branch, climbing in the lesser omentum to divide at the porta hepatis.
- Pulmonary trunkTruncus pulmonalisThe short, wide artery leaving the right ventricle that carries deoxygenated blood towards the lungs before dividing into the two pulmonary arteries.
- Right colic arteryArteria colica dextraA colic offshoot of the superior mesenteric artery, running rightwards on the posterior abdominal wall to feed the ascending colon and its flexure.
- Right pulmonary arteryArteria pulmonalis dextraThe longer of the two terminal branches of the pulmonary trunk, crossing the mediastinum to carry deoxygenated blood into the right lung.
- Right renal arteryArteria renum dextraThe longer of the two renal arteries, leaving the right side of the abdominal aorta and running behind the inferior vena cava to the right kidney.
- Right subclavian arteryArteria subclavia dextraThe main artery of the right upper limb, given off by the brachiocephalic trunk behind the right sternoclavicular joint.
- Second posterior intercostal arteryArteria intercostalis posterior secundaThe artery of the second intercostal space, the lower of the two vessels supplied by the supreme intercostal artery.
- Sigmoid arteriesArteriae sigmoideaeA small group of branches of the inferior mesenteric artery that run in the sigmoid mesocolon to supply the lower descending and sigmoid colon.
- Spinal branch of iliolumbar arteryRamus spinalis arteriae iliolumbalisA small branch of the iliolumbar artery that enters the vertebral canal at the lumbosacral junction to supply the cauda equina and its coverings.
- Splenic arteryArteria splenicaThe largest branch of the coeliac trunk, a winding artery that runs left along the upper border of the pancreas to the spleen.
- Subcostal arteryArteria subcostalisThe lowest paired branch of the thoracic aorta, running beneath the twelfth rib into the back and abdominal wall.
- Subscapular arteryArteria subscapularisThe biggest vessel to leave the axillary artery, running down the lateral border of the scapula to its inferior angle.
- Superior anorectal arteryArteria anorectalis superiorThe continuation of the inferior mesenteric artery into the pelvis, the main artery of the rectum and the upper anal canal.
- Superior epigastric arteryArteria epigastrica superiorA terminal branch of the internal thoracic artery that descends inside the rectus sheath to supply the upper anterior abdominal wall.
- Superior gluteal arteryArteria glutea superiorThe largest internal iliac branch, leaving the pelvis above piriformis to supply the gluteal muscles and hip region.
- Superior lingular artery of left lungArteria lingularis superior pulmonis sinistriThe segmental branch of the left pulmonary artery to the superior lingular segment of the left upper lobe.
- Superior lobar artery of right lungArteria lobaris superior pulmonis dextriThe first branch of the right pulmonary artery, carrying blood to the upper lobe of the right lung.
