Anatomy 2 Exam 4 Flashcards
1st division of largest artery after blood leave heart going upward; aorta portion traveling up from heart which branches off to left & right coronary.
ASCENDING AORTA
A. LEFT CORONARY
B. RIGHT CORONARY
Left branch off Ascending Aorta that provides blood to heart muscle only
LEFT CORONARY
Right branch off Ascending Aorta that provides blood to heart muscle only
RIGHT CORONARY
ARCH OF THE AORTA
ARCH OF THE AORTA A. BRACHIOCEPHALIC 1.RIGHT SUBCLAVIAN a) VERTEBRAL ARTERIES b) INTERNAL THORACIC 2.RIGHT COMMON CAROTID B. LEFT COMMON CAROTID C. LEFT SUBCLAVIAN
1st division of largest artery after ascending aorta; it arches behind heart on way to feed torso & lower extremities. Center of circulation in embalming; it has 3 branches off it
ARCH OF THE AORTA
1st branch directly off Arch of Aorta; unpaired or single artery. Eventually feeds right side of head & neck & right extremities. Branches into 2 arteries
BRACHIOCEPHALIC
Named by location under right collarbone & off brachiocephalic, feeds right upper extremities
RIGHT SUBCLAVIAN
pair that branch upwards and go thru 7 cervical vertebrae to feed blood brain; unite together in cranial; in autopsy case during embalming these clipped arteries leak inside autopsy cranial
VERTEBRAL ARTERIES
most popular initial point of injection used to embalm non-autopsy cases; feeds right head & neck
RIGHT COMMON CAROTID
2nd branch directly off Arch of Aorta; feeds head and neck on left side
LEFT COMMON CAROTID
point of either side of neck where common carotid terminates & splits into internal & external carotid artery
Carotid Sinus
feed outside skull (face scalp hair)
External Carotid Artery
RIGHT EXTERNAL COMMON CAROTID ARTERY – 8 BRANCHES
FACIAL:
- SUPERIOR THYROID ARTERY
- LINGUAL ARTERY
- FACIAL ARTERY
- MAXILLARY ARTERY
- SUPERFICIAL TEMPORAL ARTERY
AURICULAR:
- ASCENDING PHARYNGEAL - AURICULAR
- OCCIPITAL ARTERY - AURICULAR
- POSTERIOR AURICULAR ARTERY
1st branch to arise off facial side of external carotid artery; feeds superior portion of thyroid gland
SUPERIOR THYROID ARTERY
2nd branch to arise off facial side of external carotid artery; feeds the tongue
LINGUAL ARTERY
3rd branch to arise off facial side of external carotid artery; most important branch for embalming process key artery to embalm face; feeds the face cheek lips mouth nose & eyelids.
FACIAL ARTERY
4th branch to arise off facial side of external carotid artery; feeds maxilla (upper jaw); upper teeth and by location muscles of mastication for chewing & swallowing
MAXILLARY ARTERY
