- Plantar metatarsal arteriesArteriae metatarseae plantaresFour arteries arising from the plantar arch that run forwards between the metatarsal bones and divide into plantar digital arteries.
- Popliteal arteryArteria popliteaThe femoral artery's continuation behind the knee, running through the popliteal fossa to divide below popliteus.
- Postcentral arterial branchArteria sulci postcentralisA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that climbs in the postcentral sulcus to supply the postcentral gyrus and front of the parietal lobe.
- 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 cerebral arteryArteria cerebri posteriorA terminal branch of the basilar artery that curves round the midbrain to supply the occipital lobe, lower temporal lobe and thalamus.
- Posterior circumflex humeral arteryArteria circumflexa posterior humeriA branch of the third part of the axillary artery that accompanies the axillary nerve across the quadrangular space and round the humeral neck.
- Posterior communicating arteryArteria communicans posteriorA short artery beneath the brain linking the internal carotid artery to the posterior cerebral artery in the circle of Willis.
- Posterior deep temporal arteryArteria temporalis profunda posteriorA branch of the maxillary artery that ascends in the temporal fossa, deep to temporalis, to supply the back of that muscle.
- 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 ethmoidal arteryArteria ethmoidea posteriorA small ophthalmic branch that leaves the orbit through the posterior ethmoidal canal for the back ethmoidal cells, dura and septum.
- Posterior inferior cerebellar arteryArteria cerebelli inferior posteriorThe biggest vertebral artery branch, winding round the medulla to supply the underside of the cerebellum and the lateral medulla.
- 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.
- Posterior interosseous arteryArteria interossea posteriorThe artery of the back of the forearm, running between the superficial and deep extensor muscles from the elbow to the wrist.
- Posterior lateral nasal branches of sphenopalatine artery.Arteriae nasales posteriores lateralesBranches of the sphenopalatine artery that spread over the conchae and meatuses on the lateral wall of the posterior nasal cavity.
- Posterior parietal arteryArteria parietalis posteriorA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that runs up behind the postcentral sulcus to supply the posterior part of the parietal lobe.
- Posterior septal branches of sphenopalatine arteryRami septales posteriores arteriae sphenopalatinaeThe terminal branches of the sphenopalatine artery that spread over the nasal septum, reaching forward to the incisive canal.
- Posterior superior alveolar arteryArteria alveolaris superior posteriorA maxillary artery branch that descends on the back of the maxilla to supply the upper back teeth, gums and maxillary sinus.
- Posterior temporal branchRamus temporalis posterior arteriae cerebri mediaeA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that runs back over the posterior temporal lobe from the lateral sulcus.
- Posterior tibial arteryArteria tibialis posteriorThe artery of the back of the leg and the sole, arising from the popliteal artery and passing behind the medial malleolus into the foot.
- Prefrontal arteryArteria prefrontalisA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that climbs from the lateral sulcus onto the front of the frontal lobe.
- 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.
- Proper palmar digital arteriesArteriae digitales palmares propriaeSmall paired arteries running along each side of the fingers, carrying blood from the palm to the finger pads and nail beds.
- Proper plantar digital arteriesArteriae digitales plantares propriaeThe end arteries of the toes, running along the plantar sides of each toe from the divisions of the common plantar digital arteries.
- Proximal lateral striate branchesSmall deep branches from the first part of the middle cerebral artery that supply the lentiform nucleus and internal capsule.
