| ramus pubicus arteriae epigastricae inferioris | <anatomy, artery> Branch arising from the inferior epigastric artery medial to the deep inguinal ring; runs medial to femoral ring onto posterior pubis; anastomosis, pubic branch of obturator artery. This anastomosis is frequently large, referred to as an "accessory obturator artery." In 20-30%, this anastomosis replaces the obturator artery, as an "aberrant" or "replaced" obturator artery. Synonym: ramus pubicus arteriae epigastricae inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ramus pubicus arteriae obturatoriae | <anatomy, artery> Branch arising from the obturator artery just prior to its pasage through the obturator canal; the branch passes superiorly on the posterior aspect of the pubis. Anastomosis: with contralateral partner and pubic branche of inferior epigastric artery. See: accessory obturator artery, pubic branch of inferior epigastric artery. Synonym: ramus pubicus arteriae obturatoriae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus saphenus arteriae descendentis genicularis | <anatomy, artery> Branch of descending genicular artery supplying skin of the upper part of the medial aspect of the leg; anastomosis: medial inferior genicular artery (articular vascular network of knee). Synonym: ramus saphenus arteriae descendentis genicularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
