dave, you're the man

: Here's another mnemonic for it, including the lumbar arteries:

: I Can’t Stop Masturbating, 1st: Really Good Imagination/Memories, 2nd, 3rd, 4th: Miss Companion

: Inferior phrenic
: Celiac
: Superior mesenteric
: Middle suprarenal
: 1st Lumbar
: Renal
: Gonadal
: Inferior Mesenteric (note the M comes from Memories)
: 2nd Lumbar
: 3rd Lumbar
: 4th Lumbar
: Median sacral
: Common iliac

:
: : I think there is a little variability in the order for #1, especially for things like the suprarenals. There is a mnemonic for the branches between the diaphragm and iliacs:

: : Prostitutes Cause Sagging, Swollen Red Testicles (in men) Living In Sin

: : Phrenic (Inferior)
: : Celiac
: : Superior Mesenteric
: : Suprarenal (middle)
: : Renal
: : Testicular (in men)
: : Lumbar
: : Inferior Mesenteric
: : Sacral (middle)

: : Hollinshead shows the middle suprarenal coming off slightly below the superior mesenteric, but Netter's online states it can come off just below the celiac.

: : The mnemonic doesn't account for the multiple lumbar arteries, either.

: : And the middle sacral comes off the aorta just before the bifurcation, on the posterior portion of the aorta.
