- Superior lobar artery of right lungArteria lobaris superior pulmonis dextriThe first branch of the right pulmonary artery, carrying blood to the upper lobe of the right lung.
- Superior medial genicular arteryArteria superior medialis genusA popliteal branch that winds round the inner side of the femur just above the knee to supply the joint.
- Superior mesenteric arteryArteria mesenteries superiorAn unpaired branch of the abdominal aorta that supplies the intestine from the lower duodenum to two-thirds of the way along the transverse colon.
- Superior phrenic arteriesArteriae phrenicae superioresSmall paired branches from the lowest part of the thoracic aorta that feed the back of the diaphragm on its thoracic face.
- Superior ulnar collateral arteryArteria collateralis ulnaris superiorA branch of the brachial artery in the middle of the arm that runs with the ulnar nerve to the back of the medial epicondyle.
- Supra-orbital arteryArteria supraorbitalisA branch of the ophthalmic artery that leaves the orbit through the supra-orbital notch to supply the forehead and scalp.
- Suprascapular arteryArteria suprascapularisAn artery from the thyrocervical trunk that crosses the root of the neck to the back of the scapula, supplying supraspinatus and infraspinatus.
- Supratrochlear arteryArteria supratrochlearisA small terminal branch of the ophthalmic artery that leaves the orbit at its upper inner corner and climbs onto the forehead.
- Supreme intercostal arteryArteria intercostalis supremaA descending branch of the costocervical trunk that crosses the necks of the upper ribs to supply the first two intercostal spaces.
- Temporal branches of middle cerebral arteryRami temporales arteriae mediae cerebriThe group of cortical branches that the middle cerebral artery sends down from the lateral sulcus over the lateral surface of the temporal lobe.
- Temporo-occipital branchRamus temporooccipitalis arteriae cerebri mediaeThe most posterior temporal branch of the middle cerebral artery, running back along the temporal lobe towards the lateral occipital region.
- Thoracic aortaAorta thoracicaThe descending part of the aorta inside the chest, running down the posterior mediastinum from the fourth to the twelfth thoracic vertebra.
- Thoraco-acromial arteryArteria thoracoacromialisA short arterial trunk from the axillary artery that pierces the clavipectoral fascia and splits into four branches over the front of the shoulder.
- Thoracodorsal arteryArteria thoracodorsalisThe continuing branch of the subscapular artery, running down the posterior wall of the axilla with its nerve into latissimus dorsi.
- Thyrocervical trunkTruncus thyreocervicalisA short, wide branch of the first part of the subclavian artery that splits at once into several arteries for the neck, thyroid and shoulder.
- Transverse cervical arteryArteria transversa colli arteria transversa cervicisAn offshoot of the thyrocervical trunk that crosses low through the posterior triangle to supply trapezius and the scapular muscles.
- Transverse facial arteryArteria transversa facieiA branch of the superficial temporal artery that crosses the side of the face just below the zygomatic arch, over the masseter.
- Ulnar arteryArteria ulnarisThe larger terminal branch of the brachial artery, running down the little-finger side of the forearm and ending mainly in the superficial palmar arch.
