1
Q

what is the location & path of the aorta

A

located L side of heart

after L ventricle - tracel superiorly as ascending aorta - then turn L and become arch of aorta - then travel inferiorly as descending thoracic aorta thru the thorax - then go thru aortic hiatus on thoracic diaphragm and travel as abdominal aorta

doesnt fit into 3 vascular categories

supply thoracic diaphragm

23
Q

what are all the As that supply the thoracic diaphragm

A

musculophrenic A (from internal thoracic)

pericardiacophrenic A (from internal thoracic)

superior phrenic A (from descending thoracic aorta)

24
Q

what is the pul trunk

A

exit heart from R ventricle at superior border -travel towards lungs

-produce R & L pul As

25
Q

What are the branches of the R pul A

& what are the segments of the those branches

A

superior lobular A (segmentals = apical, ant & post)

middle lobular A (segmentals = lateral & medial)

inferior lobular A (segmentals = sup, ant basal, lateral basal, medial basal & post basal)

26
Q

what are the branches of the L pul A

A

superior lobular A (segmentals = apical, ant & lingular)

inferior lobular A (segmentals = sup, anteromed basal, lat basal & post basal)

27
Q

what is it called when a pul A is obstructed

A

pulmonary embolism

could be blood clot, fat globule, air bubble

=cant do gas exchange

28
Q

Q

what are the branches of the pul Vs

A

R & L superior/inferior Vs

30
Q

A

great cardiac V

middle cardiac V

small cardiac V

31
Q

what is the path for the great cardiac V

A

start on ant aspect of heart btn R & L ventricles - then travel anteriorly btn interventricular A then around heart -travel with circumflex A and empty into coronary sinus

* travels with the ant interventricular A & then circumflex A

32
