| right pulmonary artery | <anatomy, artery> The longer of the two terminal branches of the pulmonary trunk, it passes transversely across the mediastinum passing inferior to the aortic arch to enter the hilum of the right lung. Branches are distributed with the bronchi; frequent variations occurs. Typical branches to the superior lobe (rami lobi superioris ) are apical (ramus apicalis ), anterior ascending (rami anterior ascendens ), anterior descending (ramus anterior descendens ), posterior ascending (ramus posterior ascendens ), and posterior descending (ramus posterior descendens ); to the middle lobe (rami lobi medii ) are medial (ramus medialis ) and lateral (ramus lateralis ); and to the inferior lobe (rami lobi inferioris ) are superior (apical) branch of inferior lobe (ramus superior (apicalis) lobi inferioris ), and the anterior, lateral (lateralis), medial (medialis) and posterior basal branches (rami basalis). Synonym: arteria pulmonalis dextra. (05 Mar 2000) |

| groove for vertebral artery | <anatomy, artery> The sulcus on the superior aspect of the posterior arch of the atlas that transmits the vertebral artery medially toward the foramen magnum. Synonym: sulcus arteriae vertebralis, sulcus for vertebral artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove of lung for subclavian artery | <anatomy, artery> A sulcus on the surface of the lung just below the apex, corresponding to the course of the subclavian artery. Synonym: sulcus subclavius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metatarsal artery | <anatomy, artery> One of four dorsal or four plantar arteries coursing in relation to the metatarsal bones, each dividing distally into a medial and a lateral digital artery, serving the dorsal or plantar aspects of adjacent sides of two toes. See: dorsal metatarsal artery, plantar metatarsal artery. Synonym: arteria metatarsae. (05 Mar 2000) |
