| There is an inferior thyroid as well as an inferior thyroid artery of______, a ______ thyroid artery, and a _______thyroid artery. | Cruveilhier,lowest,superior |
| many arteries branch out from the | thyrocervical trunk. |
| Cruveilhier | An inferior thyroid artery. |
| There is a _____ scapular artery, _____ scapular artery, scapular_____artery, and ________ scapular artery. | descending, dorsal,circumflex, and transverse |
| In addition to strictly scapular arteries, there are also the ______ and _______ _______.These surround and/or supply the _____. | suprascapular and subscapular arteries. scapula. |

| There are both right and left ______ _______,which supply the right and left lungs. | pulmonary arteries |
| coronary | These supply the right atrium and ventricle and the left atrium and ventricle. |
| Coronary is usually used in connection with the | arteries, nerves, and other structures surrounding the heart. |
| intercostal | Supply the muscle between the ribs and structures of the chest wall. |
| phrenic | Supply blood to the diaphragm. |
| aorta | The major systemic artery; this is the artery from which all others arise. |
| ascending aorta | Ascends from the left ventricle in the heart. The only branches off the ascending aorta are the right and left coronary arteries, which serve the myocardium (middle or muscle layer) of the heart. |
| aortic arch | After ascending and supplying the heart, the aorta arches posteriorly and to the left. This is known as the aortic arch. |
| innominate artery | Another name for the brachiocephalic artery. |
| brachiocephalic artery | The first branch of the aortic arch and one of the three vessels branching off the aortic arch. |
| left common carotid artery | Branches from the aorta and extends up the left side of the neck. Another one of the three vessels which branch off the aortic arch. |
| left subclavian artery | Extends from the aortic arch to the left side of the body. One of the three vessels which branch off the aortic arch. |
| thoracic aorta | A continuation of the aortic arch as it descends through the thoracic (chest) cavity to the diaphragm. |
| Thoracic is | a very large vessel and divides into major branches to the organs and muscles of the chest. Numerous branches supplying oxygen to the chest branch off the thoracic aorta. |
| coronary | Arteries that supply the heart. |
| bronchial | Provide circulation to the lungs. |
| musculophrenic | Arises from the internal thoracic artery and branches to lower part of pericardium. |
| pericardiophrenic | A long and slender branch of the internal thoracic artery. Relating to the pericardium and the diaphragm. |
| abdominal aorta | a very large vessel. It is specifically the segment of the aorta located between the diaphragm and the fourth lumbar vertebra. |
| celiac | This is the first branch of the abdominal aorta. It is a short, thick trunk which arises anteriorly just below the diaphragm. It immediately splits into three arterial branches (left gastric, hepatic, and splenic). |
| splenic | Goes into the spleen. |
| left gastric | Arises from the celiac artery and goes into the stomach. |
| superior epigastric | Arises from the internal thoracic artery, joins the inferior epigastric artery at the umbilicus, and supplies the anterior part of the abdominal wall and some of the diaphragm. |
| gastroduodenal | Small artery in the abdomen that supplies the stomach and duodenum. |
| gastroepiploic | Name of two different arteries (left and right gastro-omental) which supply the stomach and greater omentum. |
| gastro-omental | The left and right gastro-omental arteries branch from the splenic and gastroduodenal arteries, respectively, and supply the stomach and omentum. |
| Artery supplying the spleen. | splenic |
| Means principal or primary. | princeps |

| An artery of the pericardium and diaphragm. | pericardiophrenic |
| hepatic | Goes into the liver. There is both a common hepatic artery and a proper hepatic artery. |
| mesenteric | Both the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries arise from the abdominal aorta. They supply blood to the small intestine, cecum, appendix, ascending colon, transverse colon, large intestine, and rectum. |
| renal | Conduct blood to the kidneys. |
| suprarenal | Located just above the renal arteries and supply blood to the adrenal glands. There is an aortic suprarenal artery, inferior suprarenal artery, middle suprarenal artery, and superior suprarenal artery. |
| cystic | Distributes blood to the gallbladder (think cholecystectomy). |
| pancreatic | There are dorsal pancreatic, great pancreatic, and inferior pancreatic arteries. |
| pancreaticoduodenal | There are pancreaticoduodenal arteries, including a posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal, an anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal, and an inferior pancreaticoduodenal. |
| colic | There is a left colic artery, middle colic artery, right colic artery, right inferior colic artery, and superior accessory colic artery. These supply various sections of the colon, i.e. the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon. |
| sigmoid | Supply the sigmoid colon. |
| appendicular | Supplies the appendix. |
| Means curved like a bow. | circumflex |
