right subclavian artery
8
begins at the insertion of the trees major muscle and ends at the bifurcation into the radial and ulnar arteries
brachial artery
9
begins at the proximal abdominal aorta and ends quickly at the bifurcation into the hepatic and the splenic arteries
celiac trunk (or celiac axis)
10
begins at the abdominal aorta just distal to the celiac trunk and branches to perfuse the small intestine
superior mesenteric artery
11
begins at the abdominal aorta, usually posterolaterally and ends at the kidney
left renal artery

common iliac artery
14
begins at the common iliac bifurcation and ends at the inguinal ligament
external iliac artery
15
begins at the inguinal ligament and ends at the bifurcation into the superficial and deep femoral arteries at about the level of the saphenofemoral junction
common femoral artery
16
begins at the common femoral bifurcation, courses through the adductor canal in the mid thigh and ends at the adductor hiatus in the distal thigh
superficial femoral artery
17
begins at the adductor hiatus and ends at the bifurcation into the anterior tibial and tibioperoneal trunk arteries
