arterially
Via blood vessels
In a manner relating to arteries—the blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart.
The term appears in medical contexts describing how something moves through or affects the arterial system: The dye spread arterially throughout the body.
By extension, it can describe movement along major routes, as roads are sometimes called arteries.
