| arterial blood | Blood that is oxygenated in the lungs, found in the left chambers of the heart and in the arteries, and relatively bright red. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial blood gas | A test which analyses arterial blood for oxygen, carbon dioxide and bicarbonate content in addition to blood pH. Used to test the effectiveness of respiration. Acronym: ABG (17 Oct 1997) |
| arterial bulb | The dilated first part of the aorta containing the aortic semilunar valves and the aortic sinuses. Synonym: bulbus aortae, arterial bulb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial canal | Before birth, the blood headed from the heart (via the pulmonary artery) for the lungs is shunted away from the lungs and returned to the greatest of arteries (the aorta). The shunt is through a short vessel called the ductus arteriosus. When the shunt is open, it is said to be patent (pronounced pa'tent). The patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) usually closes at or shortly after birth and blood is permtted from that moment on to course freely to the lungs. If the ductus stays open (patent), flow reverses and blood from the aorta is shunted into the pulmonary artery and recirculated through the lungs. The PDA may close later spontaneously (on its own) or need to be ligated (tied off) surgically. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arterial capillary | A capillary opening from an arteriole or metarteriole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial circle of cerebrum | An anastomotic "circle" of arteries (roughly pentagonal in outline) at the base of the brain, formed, sequentially and in anterior to posterior direction, by the anterior communicating artery, the two anterior cerebral, the two internal carotid, the two posterior communicating, and the two posterior cerebral arteries. Synonym: circulus arteriosus cerebri, circle of Willis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial cone | The left or anterosuperior, smooth-walled portion of the cavity of the right ventricle of the heart, which begins at the supraventricular crest and terminates in the pulmonary trunk. Synonym: arterial cone, pulmonary cone, pulmonary conus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial duct | Before birth, the blood headed from the heart (via the pulmonary artery) for the lungs is shunted away from the lungs and returned to the greatest of arteries (the aorta). The shunt is through a short vessel called the ductus arteriosus. When the shunt is open, it is said to be patent (pronounced pa'tent). The patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) usually closes at or shortly after birth and blood is permtted from that moment on to course freely to the lungs. If the ductus stays open (patent), flow reverses and blood from the aorta is shunted into the pulmonary artery and recirculated through the lungs. The PDA may close later spontaneously (on its own) or need to be ligated (tied off) surgically. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acromial arterial network | A vascular network between the acromion and the skin of the shoulder, formed by anastomoses of the acromial branch of the suprascapular artery with the acromial branch of the thoracoacromial artery. Synonym: rete acromiale, acromial plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| alveolar-arterial oxygen difference | The difference or gradient between the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveolar spaces and the arterial blood: P(A-a)02. Normally in young adults this value is less than 20 mm Hg. See: alveolar gas equation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterio-arterial fistula | Abnormal communication between two arteries. It may result from injury or occur as a congenital abnormality. (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcaneal arterial network | A superficial network over the calcaneus, formed by branches of the peroneal and posterior tibial arteries and twigs from the malleolar retia. Synonym: rete calcaneum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreaticoduodenal arterial arcades | Anastomoses between the anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal arteries (from the gastroduodenal artery) and the anterior and posterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries (from the superior mesenteric artery) on the anterior and posterior aspects of the head of the pancreas and the duodenum, supplying both structures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean arterial pressure | <cardiology, physiology> The average value for arterial pressure. Systolic pressure + diastolic pressure divided by 2. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cephalic arterial rami | Parietal branches of the sympathetic trunks conveying postsynaptic sympathetic fibres from the superior cervical ganglion to the carotid arteries for distribution within the head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral arterial circle | The roughly pentagonally shaped circle of vessels on the ventral aspect of the brain in the area of the optic chiasm, hypothalamus, and interpeduncular fossa. See: circle of Willis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greater arterial circle of iris | An arterial circle at the ciliary border of the iris. Synonym: circulus arteriosus iridis major. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plantar arterial arch | The arterial arch formed by the lateral plantar artery running across the bases of the metatarsal bones and anastomosing with the dorsal pedis artery, either of two bony arch's of the foot, longitudinal arch or transverse arch. See: medial longitudinal arch of foot, lateral longitudinal arch of foot, transverse arch of foot. Synonym: arcus plantaris, plantar arterial arch. (05 Mar 2000) |

| superficial palmar (arterial) arch | The arterial arch in the hand located superficial to the long flexor tendons approximately at the level of a line extrapolated across the palm from the distal side of the outstretched thumb. It is formed principally by the termination of the superficial ulnar artery and is usually completed by a communication with the superficial palmar branch of the radial artery. The arch gives rise to the common palmar digital arteries. Synonym: arcus palmaris superficialis, arcus volaris superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep palmar (arterial) arch | The arterial arch located deep to the long flexor tendons in the hand. It is formed by the terminal part of the radial artery in conjunction with the deep palmar branch of the ulnar artery. The arch gives rise to palmar metacarpal and princeps pollicis arteries. Synonym: arcus palmaris profundus, arcus volaris profundus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diffuse arterial ectasia | Spontaneous enlargement with dilation of the vessels in a circumscribed area. (05 Mar 2000) |
