| apicoposterior branch of left superior pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> Drains apicoposterior bronchopulmonary segment of superior lobe of left lung. Synonym: ramus apicoposterior venae pulmonalis sinistrae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ascending branch | A branch directed superiorly. Nomina Anatomica recognises the ascending branch of the following: 1) deep circumflex iliac artery; 2) lateral cerebral sulcus; 3) lateral circumflex femoral artery. Synonym: ramus ascendens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending branch of the inferior mesenteric artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch of the left colic artery (from inferior mesenteric artery) that passes anteriorly to the left kidney into the transverse mesocolon, where it anastomoses with the middle colic artery. It thus forms an anastomosis between superior and inferior mesenteric arteries, and is a component of the marginal artery (Drummond) of the colon. Synonym: arteria ascendens, arteria intermesenterica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending posterior branch | The ascending posterior branch of the superior lobar branch of the right pulmonary artery. Synonym: ramus posterior ascendens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular nodal branch | 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) |
| auricular branch of occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> Distribution, posterior auricle; anastomosis, posterior auricular artery. Synonym: ramus auricularis arteriae occipitalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| auricular branch of vagus nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the superior ganglion of the vagus, supplying the back of the pinna and the external acoustic meatus. Synonym: ramus auricularis nervi vagi, Arnold's nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal tentorial branch of internal carotid artery | <anatomy, artery> A small branch from the cavernous part of the internal carotid artery to the base of the tentorium. Synonym: ramus basalis tentorii arteriae carotidis internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| branch | <plant biology> A natural division of a plant stem. (17 Dec 1997) |
| branch migration | <molecular biology> Movement of the branch point in a branched DNA sequence formed from two parent DNA molecules with practically identical sequences. (17 Dec 1997) |
| branch of auriculotemporal nerve to tympanic membrane | Sensory branch of the auriculotemporal nerve supplying the external surface of the tympanic membrane. Synonym: ramus membranae tympani nervi auriculotemporalis, nerve of tympanic membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| branch of glossopharyngeal nerve to stylopharyngeus muscle | <anatomy> Sole motor branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve to the stylopharyngeus muscle. Synonym: ramus musculi stylopharyngei nervi glossopharyngei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| branch to atrioventricular node | 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) |
| branch to sinuatrial node | Ascending atrial branch, usually (55%) arising from the anterior stem of the right coronary artery (but 35-45% arising from the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery), which runs around the base of the superior vena cava to reach the sinuatrial node. Synonym: ramus nodi sinuatrialis arteriae coronaria dextra, branch to sinuatrial node, sinuatrial nodal branch of right coronary artery, sinuatrial node artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| branch to trigeminal ganglion | Ganglionic branch of internal carotid artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
