Morphology

artery + of + the + vestibule + bulb

The phrase is compositionally analyzable — it literally denotes an artery related to the 'bulb' of the vestibule (i.e., a blood vessel serving that anatomical swelling). However, it is technical anatomical terminology requiring domain knowledge to identify the precise arterial branch and its female-specific context, so a B1 learner knowing only the basic word meanings would grasp the general idea but not the full specialized referent.

Etymology

Artery of the vestibule bulb names a small blood vessel: artery because it carries blood, and it goes to a round bulb beside the vestibule, the 'opening' area of the female genitals. So, it refers to a small branch of a larger artery that 'brings blood' to that bulb.
