what is the main artery in the body? Where does it carry blood?
Aorta
From the heart to the body
what is the first vessel(s) to come off of the aorta? Then what does it continue as?
The ascending aorta
Arches left and posterior to become aortic arch
what is the first vessel(s) to come off of the aorta? Then what does it continue as?
The ascending aorta
Arches left and posterior to become aortic arch
How many branches come off the aorta arch and what are their names as well as subdivisions if applicable.
3 branches
Brachiocephalic trunk > right common carotid a and right subclavian a
Left common carotid
Left subclavian
What do the subclavian arteries supply?
The upper limbs
What do the common carotid arteries supply?
The head and neck
How does the aortic arch end?
Becoming the descending aorta and course inferiority through abdomen and thorax
Where do both the right and left subclavian arteries branch from?
Right is from brachiocephalic trunk
Left is from aortic arch
How many branches are there of the subclavian artery? Name them and their subdivisions if applicable.
4
Vertebral artery
Internal mammary artery (internal thoracic a.)
Thyrocervical trunk
Costocervical trunk
Where does the subclavian artery terminate? What does it become at this point?
Terminates at the lateral border of the first rib
It becomes the axillary artery
The axillary artery is divided into sections by a muscle.
Which muscle?
How many parts? Describe.
Pectoralis minor
3 parts
1st part - between lateral border of first rib and superomedial border of pec minor
2nd part - posterior to pecs minor
3rd part - between inferolateral border of pec minor and inferior border of teres major
Where does the axillary artery terminate? What does it continue as?
Inferior border of teres major
Brachial artery
How many branches are there of the axillary artery? Name them and their subdivisions if applicable.
6 branches
1st part
Highest (supreme) thoracic a.
2nd part
Thoracoacromial trunk
Lateral thoracic a.
3rd part
Subscapular a.
Anterior circumflex humeral artery
Posterior circumflex humeral artery
What does the highest thoracic artery supply?
First 2 intercostal spaces
Where does the thoracoacromial trunk pass? What are its branches? Where does each branch course?
It passes above pectoralis minor
It has four branches
Clavicular branch courses subclavius muscle and sternoclavicular joint
Pectoral branch courses to pectoralis major and minor muscles
Acromial branch courses to the acromion process
Deltoid branch courses to the deltoid and pectoralis major
Where does the lateral thoracic artery course? Which nerve does it course with and what does it supply?
It courses along the inferolateral border of pectoralis minor to the lateral thoracic wall wall
A courses with the long thoracic nerve
It supplies, lateral thoracic wall and breast
How many branches does the subscapular artery have? Name their subdivisions if applicable.
2 branches
Thoracodorsal a. with thoracodorsal n. to latissimus dorsi
Circumflex scapular artery - triangle space of shldr around lat border of scapula, deep to infraspinatus
Where does the anterior circumflex humeral artery course and end, and how?
Anteriorly around surgical neck of humerus
Anastomoses with posterior circumflex humeral artery
Where does the posterior circumflex humeral artery course, with what, where does it end, and how?
Posterior through quad space of shoulder, winds posterior around surgical neck of humerus deep to deltoid
Courses with axillary nerve in quad space
Ends by anastomosing with anterior circumflex humeral artery
What initially forms the brachial plexus, be specific
Ventral rami of c5-t1
How is the brachial plexus grouped from beginning to end?
Ventral Rami —> trunk —> division —> cord —> nerve
What are the trunks and what forms each one?
Upper trunk - C5-6
Middle trunk - C7
Lower trunk - C8-T1
What are the divisions if the brachial plexus and where do they go?
Anterior and posterior division
Anterior division of upper and middle trunk create the lateral cord
Anterior division of lower trunk creates the medial cord
All posterior divisions create the posterior cord
