Preferred Label : intersomitic artery;
Uberon definition : The small branching sprouts of the dorsal aorta that grow across the medial surface
of the somite, turn right angles to grow over that surface and then fuse with other
sprouts and form the vertebral arteries adjacent to the neural tube; the intersomitic
arteries supply the body wall and persist in the adult as the posterior intercostal,
subcostal and the lumbar arteries;
Uberon synonym : intersegmental artery;
Uberon related term : intersegmental arteries;
Uberon Homology note : Few changes of evolutionary significance occur in the branching pattern of the dorsal
aorta. All vertebrates have (...) paired intersegmental arteries to the trunk, tail,
and paired appendages.[well established][VHOG];
