Ascending Aorta and Arch of Aorta Circulation Blood Tracing Flashcards
162
Aorta arises from the Left Ventricle and arches backward, descending the left.
163
Only dealing with Ascending Aorta
164
The Ascending Aorta has 2 branches, Right and Left Coronary arteries which supply blood to the heart muscles
169
The coronary arteries divide into many tiny branches called capillaries
172
From capillaries, the hearts blood supplies flows into cardiac veins
180
From the cardiac veins, hearts blood supplies flows into the coronary sinus
184
From coronary sinus, blood enters the right atrium
196
Trace the circulation of blood as it flows via the arch of the aorta
197
Arch of aorta contains 3 branches; Innominate/ Brachiocephalic Artery 1st + large branch
202
2nd branch is the left common carotid artery
209
The 3rd branch of the aortic arc his called the left subclavian artery
218
The innominate artery divides into 2 branches: Upward branch is called the right common carotid
224
Other branch of innominate artery extends toward right arm called right subclavian arteries
232
Branching off both right/left subclavian arteries and extending upward toward
