| epiploic branches | Branches to the greater omentum; epiploic branches arise from the left and right gastroepiploic arteries (rami omentales arteriae gastro-omentalis sinistrae et dextrae ) opposite the gastric branches (rami gastrici ) along the greater curvature of the stomach. Synonym: rami omentales, omental branches, rami epiploicae. (05 Mar 2000) |

| joint branches | Branches distributed to joints. Almost any vessel related to a joint will supply articular rami. Most joints receive articular branches from the intramuscular branches of the motor nerves innervating the muscles crossing the joint (see Hilton's law). at this printing, Nomina Anatomica, however, specifically recognises only the articular branches of the descending genicular artery, ramus articulares arteriae descendentis genicularis; supplying the knee joint. Synonym: rami articulares, joint branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external nasal branches | Branches to external aspect of nose. The external nasal branches of 1) infraorbital nerve, rami nasales externii nervi infraorbitalis, 2) nasociliary nerve, rami nasales externi nervi ethmoidalis anterioris. Synonym: rami nasales externi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| faucial branches of lingual nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The faucial branches, branches to the isthmus of the fauces from the lingual nerve. Synonym: rami isthmi faucium nervi lingualis, rami fauciales nervi lingualis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ureteral branches | Branches distributed to the ureter. Although not listed by Nomina Anatomica, ureteric branches also rise regularly from the 1) abdominal aorta, 2) common iliac artery, and 3) internal iliac artery. Ureteric branches from the inferior vesical artery are constant in occurrence and supply the terminal portion of the ureter. Synonym: rami ureterici, ureteral branches. (05 Mar 2000) |

| laryngopharyngeal branches of superior cervical ganglion | Branches conveying postganglionic sympathetic fibres from the superior cervical ganglion to the pharyngeal plexus. Synonym: rami laryngopharyngei ganglii cervicalis superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral branches | Branches directed away from the midline, to the side. Nomina Anatomica lists lateral branches (ramus lasteralis/rami laterales) of the following: 1) anterior interventricular artery, ramus lateralis interventricularis anterioris arteriae coronariae sinistrae; 2) anterolateral central arteries, rami laterales arteriarum centralium anterolateralium; 3) dorsal primary rami of spinal nerves, rami laterales ramorum dorsalium nervorum cervicalium/thoracalium/lumbalium/sacralium; 4) left branch of portal vein, rami laterales rami sinistri venae portae hepatis; 5) left hepatic duct, ramus lateralis ductus hepatici sinistri; 6) middle lobe branch of right pulmonary artery, ramus lateralis ramorum lobarium medium arteriorum pulmonarium dextrum; 7) supraorbital nerve, ramus lateralis nervi supraorbitalis. Synonym: rami laterales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral calcaneal branches of sural nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of sural nerve providing cutaneous innervation to posterior aspect of distal leg and lateral aspect of proximal portion of foot. Synonym: rami calcanei laterales nervi suralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves | Branches arising in approximately the anterior axillary line at the level of the second through sixth intercostal spaces. Synonym: rami mammarii laterales nervorum intercostalium, lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral cutaneous branches of ventral primary ramus of thoracic spinal nerves | Branches arising in approximately the anterior axillary line at the level of the second through sixth intercostal spaces. Synonym: rami mammarii laterales nervorum intercostalium, lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral mammary branches | Branches primarily distributed to the lateral portion of the breast. Synonym: rami mammarii laterales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral nasal branches of anterior ethmoidal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of nasociliary nerve distributed to walls of nasal cavity. Synonym: rami nasales laterales nervi ethmoidalis anterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lingual branches | Branches to the tongue. Nomina Anatomica lists lingual branches of 1) hypoglossal nerve, rami linguales nervi hypoglossi; 2) lingual nerve, rami linguales nervi lingualis; 3) glossopharyngeal nerve, rami linguales nervi glossopharyngei. Synonym: rami linguales. (05 Mar 2000) |
