| somatic arteries | Artery's that arise in the embryo from the dorsal aorta and supply the body wall; they persist almost unchanged as the posterior intercostal, subcostal, and lumbar artery's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spinal arteries | Branches of the following arteries which supply the meninges, the roots of the spinal nerves, and in some cases, the spinal cord: 1) vertebral, 2) ascending cervical, 3) dorsal branch of posterior intercostal I to XI, 4) dorsal branch of subcostal, 5) dorsal branch of lumbar arteries, 6) lumbar branch of iliolumbar, 7) lateral sacral; all spinal arteries give rise to radicular arteries supplying dorsal and ventral roots of spinal nerves, but some (4-9), are large enough to reach and anastomose with the anterior and posterior spinal arteries. Synonym: rami radiculares. See: medullary spinal arteries, arteria radicularis magna. Synonym: rami spinales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sternal arteries | <anatomy, artery> Branches of internal thoracic artery which pass medially to supply the transversus thoracis muscle and posterior sternum. Synonym: rami sternales arteriae thoracicae internae, sternal arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |

| superior suprarenal arteries | Origin, inferior phrenic artery; distribution, suprarenal gland. Synonym: arteriae suprarenales superiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ileal arteries | Origin, superior mesenteric; distribution, ileum; anastomoses, other branches of superior mesenteric. Synonym: arteriae ileales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iliac arteries | Arteries related to the ilium. See: common iliac artery, deep circumflex iliac artery, external iliac artery, internal iliac artery, superficial circumflex iliac artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inguinal branches of external pudendal arteries | Branches to the inguinal region which may arise as branches of external pudendal arteries or as direct branches of the femoral artery.

| interlobar arteries of kidney | The branches of the segmental arteries of the kidney; they run between the renal lobes and give rise to the arcuate arteries. Synonym: arteriae interlobares renis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interlobular arteries | Arteries that pass between lobules of an organ. See: interlobular arteries of liver, interlobular arteries of kidney. Synonym: arteriae interlobulares. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interlobular arteries of kidney | The branches of the interlobar arteries of the kidney passing outward through the cortex and supplying the glomeruli. Synonym: arteria interlobulares (renis). (05 Mar 2000) |
| interlobular arteries of liver | The many terminal branches of the hepatic artery passing between hepatic lobules. Synonym: arteria interlobulares (hepatis). (05 Mar 2000) |
