Arterial tree

Arterial tree

In anatomy, arterial tree is used to refer to all arteries and/or the branching pattern of the arteries. This article regards the human arterial tree. Starting from the aorta:

Contents

  • Mediastinal branches
  • Thymic branches
  • Pericardiophrenic artery
  • Sternal branches
  • Perforating branches
  • six anterior intercostal branches
    • upper branches
    • lower branches of the space anastomoses
  • Musculophrenic artery
