Supply the heart region
Right and left coronary arteries of the ascending aorta
Right side of head and nech
right common carotid artery
right upper limb
right subclavian artery
left side of head and neck
left common carotid artery
left upper limb
left subclavian
pericardium
pericardials
bronchi of lungs
bronchials
esophagus
esophageals
structures in mediastinum
mediastinals
upper abdominal muscles
subcostals
superior and posterior surfaces of diaphragm
superior phrenic
supplies blood to coronary circulation
ascending aorta
right coronary artery branches into
marginal branch and posterior interventricular branch
left coronary artery branches into
circumflex branch and anterior interventricular branch
spinal cord, cervical vertebrae (right side); fuses with left vertebral artery to form basilar after entering cranium via foramen magnum
right vertebral artery
anterior right ventricle
marginal branch
posterior right ventricle
posterior interventricular branch
anterior left ventricle
anterior/left interventricular branch/ left anterior descending
posterior left ventricle
circumflex branch
head, neck, upper limb, thoracic wall
brachiocephalic
brain, spinal cord, neck, shoulder, thoracic muscle wall, and scapular muscles
right subclavian
thoracic, shoulder, scapular muscles, and humerus
axillary
muscles of the arm, humerus, elbow joint
brachial
major blood source to muscles of posterior compartment of forearm
radial artery
major blood source to muscles of anterior compartment of forearm
ulnar artery
Blood pressure is usually measured in the ___ artery. In order to suppress hemorrhage the best place to compress it is near the middle of the arm where it is superficial and easily pressed against the humerus
brachial
Because of its superficial location at this point, the ___ artery is usually used to take a radial pulse
radial
Arteries of the left head and neck are the same except for the exception that the left ___ ____ arises from the aortic arch
common carotid
supplies structures of the head except the brain
right external carotid
supplies structures of the head except the brain; supplies, skin, connective tissues, muscles, bones, joints, dura and arachnoid mater in the head and supplies much of the neck anatomy
right external carotid
Pulse may be detected in the __ ___ artery, just later to the larynx. It is convenient when exercising or administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation
right common carotid
