Celiac artery

The renal arteries normally arise off the side of the abdominal aorta, immediately below the superior mesenteric artery, and supply the kidneys with blood. Each is directed across the crus of the diaphragm, so as to form nearly a right angle with the aorta.

Ulnar artery

The ulnar artery is located in the elbow, and it is one of the branches of the brachial artery. The ulnar artery leads down the ulnar side of the forearm to the wrist. ... At the wrist, branches of the ulnar and radial arteries join to form a network of vessels, which supply the

Common iliac arteries (r/l)

is visible at center bottom left.) The common iliac arteries are two large arteries that originate from the aortic bifurcation at the level of the fourth lumbar vertebra.
