| accessory meningeal branch of middle meningeal artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch of either the middle meningeal or maxillary artery in the infratemporal fossa and passing superiorly through the foramen ovale to supply the trigeminal ganglion, dura mater and inner table of bone. Synonym: ramus meningeus accessorius arteriae meningeae mediae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetabular branch | An arterial branch that supplies the acetabulum; two arteries, the obturator and the medial femoral circumflex, have such branches. Synonym: ramus acetabularis, acetabular artery, arteria acetabuli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial branch of suprascapular artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch of suprascapular artery which pierces the origin of the trapezius muscle to run to the acromion; anastomoses, acromial branch of thoracoacromial artery. Synonym: ramus acromialis arteriae suprascapularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial branch of thoracoacromial artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the thoracoacromial artery that runs over the coracoid process and under the deltoid muscle. Synonym: ramus acromialis arteriae thoracoacromialis, acromial artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anastomotic branch | The anastomotic branch, a blood vessel that interconnects two neighboring vessels. It should not be used for the nervous system, because there is no analogy between a vascular anastomosing branch and a connection between nerves or their subdivisions. Synonym: ramus anastomoticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anastomotic branch of middle meningeal artery to lacrimal artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the middle meningeal artery arising in the cranial cavity which runs anteriorly through the superior orbital fissure to anastomose with the lacrimal artery. See: orbital branch of middle meningeal artery. Synonym: ramus anastomoticus arteriae meningeae mediae cum lacrimali. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior basal branch | Anterior basal branch of basal parts of the inferior lobar branches of the right and left pulmonary arteries, and superior basal branches of the right and left inferior pulmonary veins. Synonym: ramus basalis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
