The longest division of longest artery (the aorta) divided at diaphragm the ____ is above the thoracic aorta and below the abdominal aorta.
Descending aorta
____ feeds the walls of the thoracic cavity.
Parietal branches
____ feeds the spaces between the ribs.
Intercostals
____ feed the spaces beneath the ribs but above the diaphragm.
Subcostals
____ feeds the the superior surface of the phrenic muscle (diaphragm.)
Superior Phrenic
____ feeds the viscera or organs within the thoracic cavity.
Visceral Branches
____ feeds the bronchi and trachea.
Bronchial
____ feeds the pericardium (sack surrounding the heart)
Pericardial
____ feeds the portion of the esophagus located in the thoracic cavity.
Esophageal
____ branches are classified according to what they feed.
Abdominal Aorta
_____ are arteries that feeds the single or unpaired organs within the abdominal cavity.
Unpaired Visceral Branches
____ feeds that part of the esophagus in the abdominal cavity, and branches off to feed the cardiac portion of the esophagus and upper lesser curvature of the stomach.
Left Gastric
____ is the longest branch off the celiac trunk and goes left; feeds the spleen; branches off will feed the pancreas, fundus, and upper portion of the greater curvature of the stomach.
Splenic
____ is the only branch going laterally to the right; feeds the liver. Splits to left and right to feed the left and right part of the liver; branches to feed lower portion of curvatures of the stomach (both greater and lesser) and pyloric portion of the stomach. Branches also feeds the first 12” of the small intestine.
Common Hepatic
_____ feeds paired organs located within or originated in abdominal cavity.
