| arteriola nasalis retinae inferior | The branch of the central artery of the retina that supplies the lower medial, or nasal, part of the retina. Synonym: arteriola nasalis retinae inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriola nasalis retinae superior | The branch of the central artery of the retina that passes to the upper medial, or nasal, part of the retina. Synonym: arteriola nasalis retinae superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriola temporalis retinae inferior | The branch of the central artery of the retina that passes laterally below the macula to supply the lower lateral or temporal part of the retina. Synonym: arteriola temporalis retinae inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
