| ramus nodi atrioventricularis | The atrioventricular branches or the nodal branches, the small arteries supplying the atrioventricular node; they usually arise from the right coronary artery where it starts to descend the posterior interventricular sulcus. Synonym: ramus nodi atrioventricularis, atrioventricular nodal branch, branch to atrioventricular node. (05 Mar 2000) |
