- Abdominal aortaAorta abdominalisThe part of the aorta below the diaphragm, running down in front of the lumbar spine from T12 to its division at L4.
- Accessory branch of middle meningeal arteryRamus accessorius arteriae meningeae mediaeA small artery in the infratemporal fossa, from the middle meningeal or maxillary artery, that enters the skull through the foramen ovale.
- Angular arteryArteria angularisThe final stretch of the facial artery, climbing beside the nose to the inner corner of the eye.
- Anterior branch of renal arteryRamus anterior arteriae renalisThe larger front division of the renal artery, lying in front of the renal pelvis and giving most of the kidney's segmental arteries.
- Anterior cerebral arteryArteria cerebri anteriorThe smaller terminal branch of the internal carotid artery, curving over the corpus callosum to supply the medial surface of the frontal and parietal lobes.
- Anterior circumflex humeral arteryArteria circumflexa anterior humeriA small branch of the axillary artery that winds round the front of the surgical neck of the humerus to the shoulder.
- Anterior communicating arteryArteria communicans anteriorA short midline vessel linking the two anterior cerebral arteries at the front of the cerebral arterial circle.
- Anterior deep temporal arteryArteria temporalis profunda anteriorA branch of the maxillary artery that climbs between the skull and the front part of temporalis, supplying that muscle from its deep surface.
- Anterior division of internal iliac arteryDivisio anterior arteriae iliacae internaeThe larger of the two divisions of the internal iliac artery, supplying most of the pelvic organs, the perineum, the buttock and the medial thigh.
- Anterior ethmoidal arteryArteria ethmoidea anteriorAn ophthalmic artery branch that leaves the orbit through its medial wall to supply the ethmoid cells, the anterior cranial fossa and the nose.
- Anterior inferior cerebellar arteryArteria cerebelli inferior anteriorA basilar artery branch arising near the lower pons that supplies the front of the cerebellar undersurface and the lateral pons.
- Anterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteryArteria pancreaticoduodenalis inferior anteriorA small artery from the superior mesenteric system that runs over the front of the pancreatic head to join its superior partner.
- Anterior septal branches of anterior ethmoidal arteryRami septales anteriores arteriae ethmoidalis anteriorisBranches of the anterior ethmoidal artery that run down the front and upper nasal septum, contributing to the vascular area where nosebleeds arise.
- Anterior spinal arteryArteria spinalis anteriorA single midline artery that runs down the front of the spinal cord, formed from two small branches of the vertebral arteries.
- Anterior temporal branchRamus temporalis anteriorA cortical artery to the front part of the temporal lobe, running down across its lateral surface from the lateral sulcus.
- Anterior tibial arteryArteria tibialis anteriorThe artery of the front of the leg, a terminal branch of the popliteal artery that runs down to the ankle and into the foot.
- Aortic archArcus aortaeThe curved middle part of the aorta in the superior mediastinum, arching back over the left lung root and giving the three great arteries.
- Appendicular arteryArteria appendicularisA small end artery, usually from the ileocolic artery, that runs in the mesoappendix to supply the vermiform appendix.
- Arcuate arteryArteria arcuataAn artery that arches laterally across the bases of the metatarsal bones on the back of the foot, arising from the dorsalis pedis.
- Artery of central sulcusArteria sulci centralisA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that climbs along the central sulcus on the lateral surface of the cerebral hemisphere.
- Artery of precentral sulcusArteria sulci precentralisA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that runs up the precentral sulcus on the lateral surface of the frontal lobe.
- Artery of pterygoid canalArteria canalis pterygoideiA slender branch of the maxillary artery that runs backwards through the pterygoid canal at the base of the sphenoid bone.
- Ascending aortaAorta ascendensThe first part of the aorta, rising from the left ventricle inside the pericardium to the second right costal cartilage.
- Ascending branch of left colic arteryRamus ascendens arteriae colicae sinistraeThe upper branch of the left colic artery, climbing behind the peritoneum towards the splenic flexure of the colon.
