arteries and veins Flashcards
where does the internal thoracic vein arise from? where does it terminate?
superior epigastric vein.
Brachiocephalic vein.
where does the internal thoracic artery arise from?
subclavian artery
What does the internal thoracic artery terminate in?
Musculophrenic artery and Superior epigastric artery
Where does the internal thoracic vein drain into?
Brachiocephalic vein
Where is the internal thoracic artery postioned?
Runs down posterolateral sides of sternum, outside parietal pleura
What are the branches of the internal thoracic artery?
- Pericardiophrenic
- Thymic
- perforating (to skin)
- to upper 6 anterior intercostal spaces
Branches that anastomose with post. intercostals & bronchial arteries to form SUBPLURAL MEDIASTINAL PLEXUS - sternal
- mediastinal
- pericardial
What do the inf. & sup. epigastric arteries supply blood to?
Anterior abdominal wall
What anastomoses to form the subpleural mediastinal plexus?
Sternal, mediastinal and pericardial branches of INTERNAL THORACIC ARTERY & posterior intercostal & bronchial arteries
What does the musculophrenic artery supply?
Diaphragm.
7th -9th intercostal spaces.
What are the branches of the external iliac artery?
Inferior epigastric artery, deep circumflex iliac artery, Femoral artery (terminal branch) when enters the femoral canal
Where do the bronchial arteries arise from?
Thoracic aorta
What are the branches of the thoracic aorta?
Lateral - Posterior intercostal arteries
Anterior - Branches to bronchi, lungs, oesophagus, mediastinum, pericardium
What are the branches of the abdominal aorta?
- Inferior phrenic arteries x2
- Coeliac trunk (1.5m above sup mes)
L1 3. (lateral) Middle suprarenal arteries x2 - Superior mesenteric artery
L2. 5. Renal arteries x2 - Gonadal x2 (directed inferiorly)
L3. 7. Inferior mesenteric - Lumbar (4 pairs) posterolateral
- Medial sacral artery x 1
L4. 10. terminate as 2x common iliac arteries
- Coeliac trunk (1.5m above sup mes)
Where do the suprarenal arteries arise from?
Superior - inferior phrenics
Middle - abdominal aorta
Inferior - Renal arteries
What are the branches of the coeliac trunk?
- Left gastric
- Splenic
- Common hepatic
Example of artery to artery anastamoses?
Inferior & superior epigastric arteries,
Portal system?
Vein or arteriole connects two capillary networks. e.g. hepatic portal vein - connects capillaries of intestine to liver sinusoids.
Features of arteries?
Vasa vasorum, No valves (exceptions: pulmoary trunk and aorta), Nerves
Verves assoicated with arteres?
Vasomotor - contraction of muscle in wall - penetrate adventitia & are mostly SYMPATHETIC
‘hitch hikers’ - travel with arteries to organs - remain outside the adventitia (SYMPATHETIC or PARASYMPATHETIC)
- Sensory accompany both.
Embryonic vessel to bypass pulmonary circulation?
ligamentum arteriosum (ductus arteriosis) Root of left pulmonary art to inf surface of arch of aorta.
Location of right pulmonary artery?
POSTERIOR to aortic arch & SVC.
ANTERIOR to trachea & bronchi.
Location of left pulmonary artery?
ANTERIOR to descending aorta & left principle bronchus.
Branches of right coronary artery?
Right marginal branch, posterior interventricular artery.
Branches of left coronary artery?
Circumflex, anterior interventricular artery
What level does aorta divide into common iliac arteries?
L4
What level is superior mesenteric artery?
L1
Tributaries of SVC?
Left and right brachiocephalic veins & single azygos vein.
How many hepatic veins? drain into what?
3 (usually) IVC.
Difference between left and right renal veins?
Right - short.
Left - long (receives sometimes inferior phrenic veins, L suprarenal vein, L gonadal vein)
What is the azygos vein when it crosses the diaphragm?
Right ascending lumbar vein
Where does the inferior mesenteric vein drain into?
The splenic vein.
What forms the hepatic portal vein?
The splenic and Superior mesenteric veins.
What drains the foregut?
The splenic vein.
What drains the midgut?
The superior mesenteric vein.
What drains the hindgut?
The inferior mesenteric vein.
Where do the ascending lumbar veins arise from?
Common iliac veins
