The plural form of arteria in Latin; the designation for multiple arteries in anatomical texts.
The standard Latin nominative plural of arteria (singular arteria, plural arteriae). This form is used throughout classical and medieval anatomical literature, and appears in modern scientific nomenclature and formal anatomy texts.
Even today, doctors use Latin plurals like 'arteriae' in technical medical writing—it's a holdover from when all scientific texts were written in Latin, and it persists because the medical community sees Latin as a universal, unchanging standard.
