Zinn's artery
| acromiothoracic artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, axillary; distribution, muscles and skin of shoulder and upper chest; anastomoses, branches of superior thoracic, internal thoracic, lateral thoracic, posterior and anterior circumflex humeral, and suprascapular. Synonym: arteria thoracoacromialis, acromiothoracic artery, thoracic axis, thoracoacromial trunk. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| alar artery of nose | A branch of the angular artery that supplies the ala of the nose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angular artery | <anatomy, artery> The terminal branch of the facial artery; distribution, muscles and skin of side of nose; anastomoses, lateral nasal, and dorsal artery of nose and palpebrals from the ophthalmic artery, thereby providing an external-internal carotid arterial anastomosis. Synonym: artery of angular gyrus. Synonym: arteria angularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior auricular branches of superficial temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> Distribution, auricle, earlobe and external acoustic meatus. Synonym: rami auriculares anteriores arteriae temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior caecal artery | <anatomy, artery> An artery that originates from the ileocolic artery and supplies the anterior region of caecum. Synonym: arteria caecalis anterior. (05 May 2002) |
| anterior cerebral artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the two terminal branches (with middle cerebral artery) of the internal carotid; it passes anterior, loops around the genu of the corpus callosum then posteriorly in the interhemispheric fissure along with its fellow of the opposite side, the two being joined by the anterior communicating artery; for descriptive purposes it is divided into two parts: the precommunical part (A2 segment of clinical terminology), supplying branches to the thalamus and corpus striatum, and the postcommunical part, (A2) or pericallosal artery, supplying branches to the cortex of the medial parts of the frontal and parietal lobes. Synonym: arteria cerebri anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior choroidal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, internal carotid or (rarely) middle cerebral artery; distribution, optic tract, crus cerebri, uncus, hippocampus, globus pallidus, posterior part of internal capsule, geniculate bodies of the thalamus, and choroid plexus in the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle. Synonym: arteria choroidea anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior ciliary artery | <anatomy, artery> One of several arteries derived from muscular branches of the ophthalmic which perforate the anterior part of the sclera and anastomose with posterior ciliary arteries. Synonym: arteria ciliaris anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior circumflex humeral artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, axillary; distribution, shoulder joint and biceps muscle; anastomoses, posterior circumflex humeral artery. Synonym: arteria circumflexa humeri anterior, anterior humeral circumflex artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior communicating artery | <anatomy, artery> A short vessel joining the two anterior cerebral arteries and completing the cerebral arterial circle (circle of Willis) anteriorly. Synonym: arteria communicans anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior conjunctival artery | <anatomy, artery> One of a number of small branches of the anterior ciliary arteries that supplies the conjunctiva. Synonym: arteria conjunctivalis anterior, conjunctival arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior descending artery | <anatomy, artery> Anterior interventricular branch of left coronary artery. Terminal branch (with circumflex coronary artery) of left coronary artery; descends in anterior interventricular groove to apex, anastomosing with posterior interventricular artery. Supplies most of sternal aspect of ventricles and anterior two-thirds of interventricular septum, including atrioventricular bundle of conducting tissue. Synonym: ramus interventricularis anterior arteriae coronariae sinistrae, anterior descending artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior ethmoidal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, ophthalmic; distribution, cerebral membranes in anterior cranial fossa, anterior ethmoidal cells, frontal sinus, anterior upper part of nasal mucous membrane, skin of dorsum of nose. Synonym: arteria ethmoidalis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior humeral circumflex artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, axillary; distribution, shoulder joint and biceps muscle; anastomoses, posterior circumflex humeral artery. Synonym: arteria circumflexa humeri anterior, anterior humeral circumflex artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior inferior cerebellar artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, basilar; distribution, lower surface of lateral lobes of cerebellum, choroid plexus in cerebellopontine angle; anastomoses, posterior inferior cerebellar; usual source of labyrinthine artery. Synonym: arteria cerebelli inferior anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
