Arterial tree

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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:

1 Ascending aorta
- 1.1 right coronary artery
- 1.2 left coronary artery
2 Arch of aorta
- 2.1 brachiocephalic artery
  - 2.1.1 common carotid artery (directly from arch of aorta on left)
    - 2.1.1.1 internal carotid artery
    - 2.1.1.2 external carotid artery
  - 2.1.2 subclavian artery (directly from arch of aorta on left)
3 Thoracic aorta
4 Abdominal aorta
5 common iliac arteries
- 5.1 internal iliac artery
  - 5.1.1 Anterior division
  - 5.1.2 Posterior division
- 5.2 external iliac artery
