Anatomy Intro Flashcards
Aneurysm
Bulging of vessel due to breakdown of elastic layer–may lead to hemorrhage
Anastomosis
Communication of blood vessels–results in Collateral circulation
Deep vein Thrombosis
blood clot that forms in a vein deep in the body. Blood clots occur when blood thickens and clumps together
3 important functions of lymphatic system
- Transport interstitial fluid back to circulatory system
- Resist diseases–filtration
- Absorb digested fats
- Right lymphatic duct drains
2. Tharacic duct
- R. head, neck, thorax, and upper extremity
2. everything else
Capillary types
- Continuous capillaries: uninterrupted lining
- Fenestrated capillaries: intestine, kidneys–active absorption or filtration
- Sinusoids: Liver, bone marrow–irregular shapes, large diameter
anastomosis allows for?
Collateral circulation
Right Lymphatic Duct (largest lymphatic vessels) drains?
Right side of head, neck, thorax, upper extremity–drains at junction of right internal jugular vein and right brachiocephalic vein
Thoracic Duct drains?
Rest of body–drains at junction of L internal jugular vein and L brachiocephalic vein
No lymphatic capillaries in…?
CNS, bone marrow, teeth
Lymphatic collecting vessels?
thin-walled, have valves
Right Ventricle –> Left atrium
Pulmonary trunk –> pulmonary artery –> Lungs – > L atrium
Blood to Right hand from heart?
Aorta –> R brachicephalic Trunk –> subclavian (after Common carotid) –> Axillary a. (after clavicle) –> Brachial a. (after teres major muscle) –> Radial & Ulnar a.’s (after elbow)
3 veins with different names than arteries?
Renal veins (R and L), Vena Cava, Common illiac V.
3 unpaired arteries of GI tract?
celiac trunk (first main a. after diaphram), superior mesenteric a. (second main branch from abdominal aorta–at same level as L and R renal a.), inferior mesenteric a.
Abdominal aorta –> foot
abdominal aorta –> common iliac a. –> external iliac (at junction btwn external and internal iliac) –> Femoral a. (after inguinal ligament at anterior superior iliac crest –> popliteal a. (at posterior knee) –> anterior tibial a. –> Dorsalis pedis a
ECM Fibers
- Collagen–bundles–flex no stretch
- Elasstic–solitary–stretch–network
- Reticular-fine
Connective tissue cells?
immature: blasts –make ground substance
mature: cytes–maintain health of ground substance
