| arteriae perforantes | Origin, arteria profunda femoris; distribution, as three or four vessels that pass through the aponeurosis of the adductor magnus to the posterior and anterior compartments of the thigh. Synonym: arteriae perforantes. (05 Mar 2000) |

| arteriae pontis | Several small branches of the basilar artery distributed to the pons. Synonym: arteriae pontis, rami ad pontem. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae pudendae externae | Origin, femoral; distribution, skin over pubis, skin over penis and skin of scrotum or labium majus via anterior scrotal (labial) arteries; anastomoses, dorsal artery of penis or clitoris, posterior scrotal or labial arteries. Synonym: arteriae pudendae externae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae renis | The branches of the renal artery that supply the anatomical segments of kidney. Usually five in number, they are end arteries and give off interlobar, arcuate and interlobular arteries in sequence. The latter send afferent arterioles to the glomeruli as well as branches to the kidney capsule. The segmental arteries of the kidney are identified as: anterior inferior (arteriae segmenti anterioris inferioris renis ); anterior superior (arteriae segmenti anterioris superioris renis ); inferior (arteriae segmenti inferioris renis ); posterior (arteriae segmenti posterioris renis ); and superior (arteriae segmenti superioris renis ). Synonym: arteriae renis, arteries of kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae sigmoideae | Origin, inferior mesenteric; distribution, descending colon and sigmoid flexure; anastomoses, left colic, superior rectal. Synonym: arteriae sigmoideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae suprarenales superiores | Origin, inferior phrenic artery; distribution, suprarenal gland. Synonym: arteriae suprarenales superiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae thalamostriatae anterolaterales | An alternate term for lateral striate arteries. Arteriae thalamostriatae anteromediales An alternate term for anteromedial central arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae thymicae | <anatomy, artery> Small twigs supplying anterior mediastinal structures: mainly thymus and lymph nodes. Synonym: rami mediastinales arteriae thoracicae internae, rami thymici, anterior mediastinal arteries, arteriae thymicae, thymic arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae ventriculares | Branches of the right and left coronary arteries distributed to the muscle of the ventricles. Synonym: arteriae ventriculares. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami articulares arteriae descendentis genicularis | See: articular branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami auriculares anteriores arteriae temporalis superficialis | <anatomy, artery> Distribution, auricle, earlobe and external acoustic meatus. Synonym: rami auriculares anteriores arteriae temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami capsulares arteriae renalis | <anatomy, artery> Branches arising from the renal artery outside of the kidney that are distributed to the renal capsule. Synonym: rami capsulares arteriae renalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami dentales arteriae alveolaris inferioris | Dental branches of inferior alveolar artery. See: dental branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami dentales arteriae alveolaris superioris posterioris | Dental branch of the posterior superior alveolar artery. See: dental branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami dorsales arteriae intercostalis supremae | <anatomy, artery> Branches of the 1st and 2nd posterior intercostal arteries which arise as branches of the supreme intercostal artery. The distribution is the same as for the dorsal branches of the other posterior intercostal arteries at the T1-T2 vertebral level. Synonym: rami dorsales arteriae intercostalis supremae.
