- Short posterior ciliary arteriesArteriae ciliares posteriores brevesNumerous small branches of the ophthalmic artery that pierce the sclera around the optic nerve to supply the choroid and optic disc.
- 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.

- Subcostal arteryArteria subcostalisThe lowest paired branch of the thoracic aorta, running beneath the twelfth rib into the back and abdominal wall.
- Submental arteryArteria submentalisThe largest neck branch of the facial artery, running forward on mylohyoid below the mandible to supply the chin and floor of the mouth.
- Subscapular arteryArteria subscapularisThe biggest vessel to leave the axillary artery, running down the lateral border of the scapula to its inferior angle.

- Superficial epigastric arteryArteria epigastrica superficialisA small branch of the femoral artery that turns up over the inguinal ligament to supply the skin of the lower abdomen.
- Superficial palmar archArcus palmaris superficialisAn arterial loop across the palm just under the palmar aponeurosis, formed mainly by the ulnar artery and feeding the fingers.
- Superficial temporal arteryArteria temporalis superficialisThe smaller terminal branch of the external carotid artery, climbing in front of the ear to supply the side of the scalp and forehead.
- 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.
