- Mental branch of inferior alveolar arteryRamus mentalis arteriae alveolaris inferiorisThe terminal branch of the inferior alveolar artery, leaving the mandible through the mental foramen to supply the chin and lower lip.
- Middle cerebral artery (M1-segment)Arteria cerebri media (Pars M1)The first, sphenoidal stretch of the middle cerebral artery, running laterally from the carotid split to the entrance of the lateral sulcus.
- Middle cerebral artery (M3-segment)Arteria cerebri media (Pars M3)The opercular segment of the middle cerebral artery, its branches looping around the opercula from the insula to the lateral surface.
- Middle colic arteryArteria colica mediaAn offshoot of the superior mesenteric artery, running in the transverse mesocolon and supplying most of the transverse colon.
- Middle collateral arteryArteria collateralis mediaThe posterior terminal branch of the deep artery of the arm, running down within triceps to the network behind the elbow.
- Middle genicular arteryA small single branch of the popliteal artery that pierces the back of the knee capsule to supply the cruciate ligaments.
- 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.
- Middle meningeal arteryArteria meningea mediaA maxillary artery branch that passes through the foramen spinosum into the skull, supplying the dura and the bones of the vault.
- Musculophrenic arteryArteria musculoohrenicaThe lateral terminal branch of the internal thoracic artery, running along the costal margin behind the lower costal cartilages.
- Mylohyoid branch of inferior alveolar arteryRamus mylohyoideus arteriae alveolaris inferiorisA small branch of the inferior alveolar artery that runs in the mylohyoid groove of the mandible to the mylohyoid muscle.
- 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.
- Occipital arteryArteria occipitalisAn external carotid branch that passes back beneath the mastoid process to the rear of the scalp and the upper neck muscles.
- Ophthalmic arteryArteria ophthalmicaAn internal carotid branch, given off just beyond the cavernous sinus, that enters the orbit with the optic nerve to supply the eye.
- Orbitofrontal branches of anterior cerebral arteryRami orbitofrontales arteriae cerebri anteriorisBranches of the anterior cerebral artery that run forward under the frontal lobe to supply its medial orbital surface and the olfactory bulb and tract.
- Palmar carpal branch of radial arteryRamus carpeus palmaris arteriae radialisA small branch of the radial artery that crosses the front of the lower radius to form the palmar carpal network with the ulnar artery.
- Palmar metacarpal arteriesArteriae metacarpeae palmaresThree or four small arteries from the deep palmar arch that run distally over the interossei towards the finger clefts.
- Parietal branches of middle cerebral arteryRami parietales arteriae cerebri mediaeCortical branches of the middle cerebral artery that emerge from the lateral sulcus to supply the lateral surface of the parietal lobe.
- Parieto-occipital arteryArteria paritooccipitaleA cortical branch of the medial occipital artery that runs in the parieto-occipital sulcus on the medial surface of the hemisphere.
- Patellar anastomosisRete patellareA network of small linked arteries around the patella and the adjoining ends of the thigh and leg bones, fed by the genicular arteries.
- 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.
- Perforating branches of plantar metatarsal arteriesRami perforantes arteriarum metatarsearum plantariumShort branches that rise from the plantar metatarsal arteries near the toes, passing up between the metatarsals to join the dorsal metatarsal arteries.
- Perforating femoral arteriesArteriae perforantes femorisA series of branches of the deep femoral artery that pierce the adductor muscles to reach and supply the back of the thigh.
- Pericallosal arteryArteria pericallosaThe continuation of the anterior cerebral artery that runs backwards over the corpus callosum on the medial surface of the hemisphere.
- Plantar archArcus plantarisThe deep arterial arch of the sole, where the lateral plantar artery meets the deep plantar artery coming down from the dorsum.
