DESCENDING AORTA THORACIC AORTA PARIETAL BRANCHES VISCERAL BRANCHES INTERCOSTAL BRONCHIAL SUBCOSTAL PERICARDIAL SUPERIOR PHRENIC ESOPHAGEAL
last & longest division of longest artery the aorta, divided at diaphragm (above is thoracic and below is abdominal)
DESCENDING AORTA
Feed the walls of thoracic cavity
PARIETAL BRANCHES
Feeds the intercostals spaces between the ribs
INTERCOSTAL
Feeds the spaces beneath the ribs, but ABOVE the diaphragm
SUBCOSTAL
feeds the superior surface of the phrenic muscle or diaphragm
SUPERIOR PHRENIC
feeds the viscera or organs within the thoracic cavity
VISCERAL BRANCHES
feeds the bronchi and trachea; feed air passageway between windpipe & bronchi
BRONCHIAL
feeds the pericardium (sac surrounding heart)
PERICARDIAL
feeds the portion of esophagus located between throat & stomach in the thoracic cavity

Off Descending Aorta branches are classified according to what they feed below diaphragm
ABDOMINAL AORTA
arteries that feeds single or unpaired organs within abdominal cavity
UNPAIRED VISCERAL BRANCHES
most superior unpaired visceral branch off Abdomen Aorta
CELIAC TRUNK/AXIS
goes to left; feeds cardiac portion of esophagus ; upper portion of lesser curvature of the stomach; cardiac portion of stomach
LEFT GASTRIC
goes left; longest branch off celiac trunk; feeds spleen; pancreas; upper dome shaped portion of stomach (fundus); upper portion of greater curvature of stomach
SPLENIC
only branch going laterally to right; feeds liver thru L&R hepatic; gall bladder; lower portion of lesser & greater curvatures of stomach; last division (pyloric) of stomach; first 12 inches of sm. Intestine called duodenum
COMMON HEPATIC
goes laterally to right; middle of unpaired arteries; feeds majority of sm. intestine (jejunum and ilieum); right half of lg. intestine (cecum, appendix, ascending colon & transverse colon)
SUPERIOR MESENTERIC (intestines)
most inferior unpaired visceral branch to come off front of abdominal aorta; goes laterally to left; feeds left half of lg. intestine (descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum & anal canal)
INFERIOR MESENTERIC (intestines)
come off side of abdominal aorta; feed paired organs located within or originated in abdominal cavity
PAIRED VISCERAL BRANCHES
most superior paired visceral branch to come off sides of abdominal aorta; feeds suprarenal glands (adrenal)
MIDDLE SUPRARENAL
feeds the kidneys
RENAL
most inferior paired visceral branches; feeds sex glands (testicular in men or ovarian in women)
GONADAL (TESTICULAR OR OVARIAN)
