The nutrient artery of the femur may arise from this branch.

A nutrient canal is canal through which the nutrient artery enters.

A nutrient artery enters the cartilage, triggering cells in the perichondrium to turn into osteoblasts.

The nutrient artery enters via the nutrient foramen from a small opening in the diaphysis.

When bone grows same rate at both ends, nutrient artery is horizontal to the bone.)

"A perforator flap should be named after the nutrient artery or vessels and not after the underlying muscle.

The anterolateral region of the anterior intercondylar area are perforated by numerous small openings for nutrient arteries.

It also sends articular branches to the acromioclavicular joint and the shoulder joint, and a nutrient artery to the clavicle.

It supplies a perforating branch to both the lateral and anterior compartments of the leg; it also provides a nutrient artery to the fibula.

The tibia derives its arterial blood supply from two sources: A nutrient artery, as the main source, and periosteal vessels derived from the anterior tibial artery.

The periosteum and nutrient artery are generally removed with the piece of bone so that the graft will remain alive and grow when transplanted into the new host site.

When he shone the suit's lights into the rents he could see tubes running parallel to the passage; water ducts, nutrient arteries, sewage ducts-- whatever, they were the habitat's utilities.

The holes are called nutrient foramina, and the nutrient artery is the major blood vessel passing through to the interior of the bone, where it branches into tiny vessels of the Haversian canal system.

Within the pelvis it gives off a few branches to the Iliacus, Piriformis, and Obturator internus, and just previous to quitting that cavity, a nutrient artery which enters the ilium.

The nutrient artery of the femur is usually given off from the second perforating artery; when two nutrient arteries exist, they usually spring from the first and third perforating vessels.

The medullary or nutrient artery (arteria nutricia), usually accompanied by one or two veins, sends branches upward and downward to the bone marrow, which ramify in the medullary membrane, and give twigs to the adjoining canals.

It gives branches to the deltoid muscle (which, however, primarily is supplied by the posterior circumflex humeral artery) and to the muscles between which it lies; it supplies an occasional nutrient artery which enters the humerus behind the deltoid tuberosity.

It is accompanied by the palmar interosseous branch of the median nerve, and overlapped by the contiguous margins of the flexor digitorum profundus and flexor pollicis longus muscles, giving off in this situation muscular branches, and the nutrient arteries of the radius and ulna.
