| arteriae intercostales posteriores I et II | posterior intercostal arteries 1-2 |
| arteriae intercostales posteriores III-XI | posterior intercostal arteries 3-11 |
| arteriae interlobares renis | The branches of the segmental arteries of the kidney; they run between the renal lobes and give rise to the arcuate arteries. Synonym: arteriae interlobares renis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae interlobulares | Arteries that pass between lobules of an organ. See: interlobular arteries of liver, interlobular arteries of kidney. Synonym: arteriae interlobulares. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae intestinales | See: ileal arteries, jejunal arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae jejunales | Origin, superior mesenteric; distribution, jejunum; anastomoses, by a series of arches with each other and with ileal arteries. Synonym: arteriae jejunales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae labiales anteriores | The anterior labial branches, branches of the external pudendal artery to the labium majus. Synonym: rami labiales anteriores arteriae pudendae externae, arteriae labiales anteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae lumbales imae | Origin, middle sacral; distribution, sacrum and iliac muscle; anastomosis, deep circumflex iliac artery. Synonym: arteriae lumbales imae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae malleolares posteriores laterales | Lateral malleolar branches of peroneal artery. Synonym: rami malleolares laterales, arteriae malleolares posteriores laterales, posterior peroneal arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
