Arteria cystica is a medical term used to describe a branch of the hepatic artery that supplies blood to the gallbladder. This term has no synonyms as it is a specific anatomical location in the body. However, there are other medical terms related to the gallbladder that may be used in the same context such as cystic duct, gallbladder, and biliary system. The cystic duct connects the gallbladder to the common bile duct, while the biliary system refers to the network of bile ducts that transport bile from the liver to the small intestine. Understanding these terms is essential when discussing the anatomy and function of the gallbladder.
