- Dorsal metacarpal arteriesArteriae metacarpeae dorsalesArteries on the back of the hand that run distally over the interosseous spaces and split into dorsal digital arteries at the finger webs.
- Dorsal metatarsal arteriesArteriae metatarseae dorsalesFour small arteries on the back of the foot that run along the intermetatarsal spaces and divide into dorsal digital arteries for the toes.
- Dorsalis pedis arteryArteria dorsalis pedisThe main artery on the back of the foot, continuing the anterior tibial artery from the ankle to the first intermetatarsal space.
- External carotid arteryCarotis externaOne of the two terminal branches of the common carotid artery, supplying the neck, face, scalp and much of the skull.
- External iliac arteryArteria iliaca externaThe larger terminal branch of the common iliac artery, following the pelvic brim to pass under the inguinal ligament as the femoral artery.
- Facial arteryArteria facialisA winding external carotid branch that hooks over the mandible and runs across the face to the inner corner of the eye.
- Femoral arteryArteria femoralisThe main artery of the thigh, continuing the external iliac artery from the inguinal ligament down to the adductor hiatus above the knee.
- Fibular arteryArteria fibularisThe artery of the deep back of the leg that runs down beside the fibula from just below the knee to the heel.
- First posterior intercostal arteryArteria intercostalis posterior primaThe artery of the first intercostal space, given off by the supreme intercostal artery rather than by the aorta.
- Frontal branch of superficial temporal arteryRamus frontalis arteriae temporalis superficialisThe forward terminal branch of the superficial temporal artery, winding up across the temple to the skin and muscles of the forehead.
- Frontal branches of callosomarginal arteryRami frontales arteriae callosomarginalisBranches of the callosomarginal artery that climb from the cingulate sulcus to supply the medial surface of the frontal lobe.
- Gastroduodenal arteryArteria gastroduodenalisA short artery behind the first part of the duodenum, normally a branch of the common hepatic artery, feeding the pylorus, duodenum and pancreatic head.
- Greater palatine arteryArteria palatina majorThe continuation of the descending palatine artery that runs forward under the hard palate to the incisive canal.
- Ileal branch of ileocolic arteryRamus ilealis arteriae ileocolicaeAn offshoot of the ileocolic artery that runs along the terminal ileum in the lower right abdomen, supplying the last part of the small intestine.
