| arteria frontobasalis medialis | <anatomy, artery> The medial orbitofrontal branch, the first branch of the pericallosal artery; it supplies the medial half of the inferior surface of the frontal cortex. Synonym: arteria frontobasalis medialis, ramus orbitofrontalis medialis, orbital artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria genus inferior medialis | <anatomy, artery> Origin, popliteal; distribution, knee joint; anastomoses, anterior and posterior tibial recurrent and medial superior genicular, i.e., articular vascular network of knee. Synonym: arteria genus inferior medialis, medial inferior genicular artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria genus superior medialis | <anatomy, artery> Origin, popliteal; distribution, knee joint; anastomoses, descending genicular, lateral superior genicular, i.e., the articular vascular network of the knee. Synonym: arteria genus superior medialis, medial superior genicular artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
