| arteries of kidney | The branches of the renal artery that supply the anatomical segments of kidney. Usually five in number, they are end arteries and give off interlobar, arcuate and interlobular arteries in sequence. The latter send afferent arterioles to the glomeruli as well as branches to the kidney capsule. The segmental arteries of the kidney are identified as: anterior inferior (arteriae segmenti anterioris inferioris renis ); anterior superior (arteriae segmenti anterioris superioris renis ); inferior (arteriae segmenti inferioris renis ); posterior (arteriae segmenti posterioris renis ); and superior (arteriae segmenti superioris renis ). Synonym: arteriae renis, arteries of kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |

| bronchial arteries | Left bronchial arteries arise from the thoracic aorta, the right from the first aortic intercostal or the upper left bronchial artery; they supply the bronchi and the lower trachea. (12 Dec 1998) |
| caecal arteries | See: anterior caecal artery, posterior caecal artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcaneal arteries | The calcaneal branches or arteries, branches to the structures in the calcaneal region from 1) the posterior tibial artery and 2) the peroneal artery. Synonym: rami calcanei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radicular arteries | Branches of spinal arteries distributed to the dorsal and ventral roots of spinal nerves and their coverings.spinal arteries.. (05 Mar 2000) |
