| parent artery | <anatomy, artery> The artery giving origin to a given artery; the artery of which a given artery is a branch. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| vertebral artery | <anatomy, artery> Paired arteries which supply the muscles of the neck, spinal cord and cerebellum. (27 Sep 1997) |
| vertebral-basilar artery disease | <cardiology> Aortic arch syndrome, also referred to by many as vertebral-basilar artery disease, carotid artery occlusive syndrome and subclavian steal syndrome is characterised by a constellation of signs and symptoms which occur secondary to abnormalities in the major arteries which extend off of the aortic arch. These abnormalities are structural and most often secondary to the effects of atherosclerosis, blood clots, trauma or a congenital abnormality. Symptoms of this condition include various neurologic symptoms, reduction in pulse and changes in blood pressure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| carpal artery | <anatomy, artery> Arteries related to and supplying the wrist joint. See: dorsal carpal branch of radial artery, dorsal carpal branch of ulnar artery, palmar carpal branch of radial artery, palmar carpal branch of ulnar artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal branch of medial occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> An anterior branch of the medial occipital artery supplying the posterior section of the parietal lobe of the cerebrum. Synonym: ramus parietalis arteriae occipitalis medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal branch of middle meningeal artery | <anatomy, artery> Smaller terminal branch (with frontal branch) of middle meningeal artery supplying posterior portion of lateral and superior dura and cranium. Synonym: ramus parietalis arteriae meningeae mediae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal branch of superficial temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> Branches coursing in relationship to and/or supplying the parietal lobe of the brain. Synonym: ramus parietalis arteriae temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parieto-occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> The largest cortical branch of the pericallosal artery supplying the medial and superolateral surface of the parietal lobe posterior to the paracentral lobule; rarely does it extend to supply part of the occipital lobe. Synonym: arteria parieto-occipitalis, superior internal parietal artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| masseteric artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, maxillary; distribution, deep surface of masseter muscle; anastomoses, branches of transverse facial and masseteric branches of facial. Synonym: arteria masseterica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurrent artery | <anatomy, artery> An artery which, upon or soon after originating, reflects or turns sharply to course in the general opposite direction to that of its parent artery. Synonym: medial striate artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurrent artery of Heubner | <anatomy, artery> Arises at or just distal to the anterior communicating artery; distribution: anterior caudate and putamen and anterior limb of internal capsule. Synonym: arteria centralis longa, arteria recurrens, artery of Heubner, long central artery, recurrent artery of Heubner, recurrent artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurrent interosseous artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, posterior interosseous; distribution, elbow joint; anastomoses, branches of profunda brachii and inferior ulnar collateral, i.e., articular vascular network of elbow. Synonym: arteria interossea recurrens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurrent radial artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, radial; distribution, ascends around lateral side of elbow joint; anastomoses, radial collateral, interosseous recurrent. Synonym: arteria recurrens radialis, recurrent radial artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurrent ulnar artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, ulnar artery; distribution, two branches, anterior and posterior, pass medially in front of and behind the elbow joint; anastomoses, superior and inferior ulnar collateral, i.e., with articular vascular network of elbow. Synonym: arteria recurrens ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid artery | <anatomy, artery> Mastoid branch of occipital artery, passing through the mastoid foramen; distribution, mastoid air cells; anastomosis, middle meningeal artery. Synonym: arteriae occipitalis, ramus mastoideus arteriae occipitalis, mastoid branch of occipital artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
