| ramus pubicus arteriae epigastricae inferioris | <anatomy, artery> Branch arising from the inferior epigastric artery medial to the deep inguinal ring; runs medial to femoral ring onto posterior pubis; anastomosis, pubic branch of obturator artery. This anastomosis is frequently large, referred to as an "accessory obturator artery." In 20-30%, this anastomosis replaces the obturator artery, as an "aberrant" or "replaced" obturator artery. Synonym: ramus pubicus arteriae epigastricae inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ramus pubicus arteriae obturatoriae | <anatomy, artery> Branch arising from the obturator artery just prior to its pasage through the obturator canal; the branch passes superiorly on the posterior aspect of the pubis. Anastomosis: with contralateral partner and pubic branche of inferior epigastric artery. See: accessory obturator artery, pubic branch of inferior epigastric artery. Synonym: ramus pubicus arteriae obturatoriae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus saphenus arteriae descendentis genicularis | <anatomy, artery> Branch of descending genicular artery supplying skin of the upper part of the medial aspect of the leg; anastomosis: medial inferior genicular artery (articular vascular network of knee). Synonym: ramus saphenus arteriae descendentis genicularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus sinister arteriae hepaticae propriae | <anatomy, artery> Left branch of proper hepatic artery; terminal branch off proper hepatic artery supplying left lobe of the liver. Synonym: ramus sinister arteriae hepaticae propriae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus stapedius arteriae stylomastoideae | <anatomy, artery> Branch arising either directly from the stylomastoid artery or its branch, the posterior tympanic artery; supplies stapedius muscle. Synonym: ramus stapedius arteriae stylomastoideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus sternocleidomastoideus arteriae thyroideae superioris | <anatomy, artery> Branch of superior thyroid artery to sternocleidomastoid muscle. Synonym: ramus sternocleidomastoideus arteriae thyroideae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus superficialis arteriae gluteae superioris | <anatomy, artery> To upper gluteus maximus muscle. Synonym: ramus superficialis arteriae gluteae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus superficialis arteriae plantaris medialis | <anatomy, artery> Gives rise to superficial digital arteries of medial three toes. Synonym: ramus superficialis arteriae plantaris medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus superior arteriae gluteae superioris | <anatomy, artery> Runs between gluteus medius and minimus muscles, supplying both, and continuing to reach tensor fascia lata muscle. Synonym: ramus superior arteriae gluteae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus suprahyoideus arteriae lingualis | <anatomy, artery> Branch of lingual artery which runs along hyoid bone; anastomosis: infrahyoid branch of superior thyroid artery and across midline with its contralateral partner. Synonym: ramus suprahyoideus arteriae lingualis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus tonsillaris arteriae facialis | <anatomy, artery> Primary blood supply to palatine tonsil, with extensive anastomoses with other tonsillar arteries. Synonym: ramus tonsillaris arteriae facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus transversus arteriae circumflexae femoris lateralis | Transverse branches of lateral femoral circumflex artery. See: transverse branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus transversus arteriae circumflexae femoris medialis | Transverse branches of medial femoral circumflex artery See: transverse branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus tubarius arteriae uterinae | <anatomy, artery> Terminal branch of uterine artery (with ovarian branch) supplying medial portion of uterine tube, anastomosing with tubal branch of ovarian artery. Synonym: ramus tubarius arteriae uterinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aponeurosis musculi bicipitis brachii | Aponeurosis bicipitalis, radiating fibres from the tendon of insertion of the biceps which form a triangular band passing obliquely across the hollow of the elbow to the ulnar side and becoming merged into the deep fascia of the forearm. Formerly called "grace Dieu" fascia, it serves to protect the brachial artery and median nerve during phlebotomy of median cubital vein. Synonym: aponeurosis musculi bicipitis brachii, bicipital fascia, lacertus fibrosus, semilunar fascia. (05 Mar 2000) |
