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.
97–120 of 217 · ArteriesClear filters
- Lacrimal arteryArteria lacrimalisAn offshoot of the ophthalmic artery that runs along the lateral wall of the orbit to feed the lacrimal gland and nearby tissues.
- Lateral circumflex femoral arteryArteria circumflexa lateralis femorisThe largest branch of the deep femoral artery, crossing laterally in front of the hip to supply the front and outer thigh.
- Lateral frontobasal arteryArteria frontobasalis lateralisAn early cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that runs forwards to the outer part of the orbital surface of the frontal lobe.
- Lateral occipital arteryArteria occipitalis lateralisOne of the two end branches of the posterior cerebral artery, running under the temporal and occipital lobes on the base of the brain.
- Lateral plantar arteryArteria plantaris lateralisThe larger terminal branch of the posterior tibial artery, crossing the sole laterally and then turning medially to form the plantar arch.
- Lateral pontine branches of basilar arteryRami laterales pontis arteriae basilarisBranches of the basilar artery that wind around the side of the pons to supply its lateral part and the middle cerebellar peduncle.
- Lateral tarsal arteryArteria tarsea lateralisA branch of the dorsalis pedis that arches laterally across the tarsal bones beneath the short extensor muscles of the foot.
- 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 common carotid arteryCarotis communis sinistraThe second branch of the aortic arch, climbing through the superior mediastinum and up the left side of the neck to divide at C4.
- 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.
- Long posterior ciliary arteriesArteriae ciliares posteriores longaeTwo small branches of the ophthalmic artery that run forwards inside the eyeball wall to supply the iris and ciliary body.
- 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.
- Maxillary arteryArteria maxillarisThe larger terminal branch of the external carotid artery, running deep to the mandible to supply the jaws, teeth, nose and palate.
- Medial circumflex femoral arteryArteria circumflexa medialis femorisA branch of the deep femoral artery that winds behind the femoral neck and gives the main blood supply of the femoral head.
- Medial occipital arteryArteria occipitalis medialisOne of the two end branches of the posterior cerebral artery, supplying the inner face of the occipital lobe and its visual cortex.
- Medial plantar arteryArteria plantaris medialisThe smaller terminal branch of the posterior tibial artery, running forwards along the inner border of the sole towards the great toe.
- Medial pontine branches of basilar arteryRami mediales pontis arteriae basilarisSmall paramedian branches from the back of the basilar artery that pierce the pons near the midline to supply its inner part.
- 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.
