Blood Tracing Flashcards
The thoracic aorta has many small branches which may be divided into two main groups, the ________ arteries which supply blood to the viscera of the chest and the _______ arteries which supply looks to the walls of the chest cavity
Visceral, parietal
The visceral arteries branching from the thoracic aorta are the _______ arteries, the ___________ arteries, and the __________ arteries. Each branch extends to the structure named.
Bronchial, esophageal, pericardial
The parietal arteries branching from the thoracic aorta are the ___________ arteries and the _____________ arteries
Intercostal, superior phrenic
The ___________ arteries lead to the skin and muscles of the chest wall while the superior phrenic arteries lead to the upper surface of the diaphragm
Intercostal
The blood flows from the _______ aorta through the visceral and parietal arteries, through the arterioles and capillaries to the body parts and then into the venules and veins
Thoracic
From the the upper surface of the diaphragm the blood flows into the
Superior phrenic veins
From the superior phrenic veins the blood flows into the left
Innominate vein
The blood flows from the pericardium through the ______________ veins, and from the esophagus through the _______ veins
Pericardial, esophageal
Both the esophageal veins and the pericardial veins empty into the left
Innominate vein
The blood flows to the bronchi through the bronchial arteries. The blood flows from the bronchi through the
Bronchial veins
The blood flows to the muscles and skin of the chest wall through the intercostal arteries and from there through the
Intercostal veins
The blood flows from the bronchial veins and from the intercostal veins through the
Azygos vein
From the azygos vein the blood flows into the
Superior vena cava
Tracing the flow of blood from the heart to the esophagus and return
From heart to ascending aorta to arch of aorta to thoracic aorta to esophageal arteries to esophagus to esophageal veins to left Innominate vein to superior vena cava
As the blood leaves the heart it flows into the ___________ aorta and then the arch of the aorta. From the arch of the aorta it flows into the _________ aorta which extends down to the diaphragm. Below the diaphragm he blood enters the _________ aorta
Ascending, thoracic, abdominal
The first group of arteries extending from the abdominal aorta are the ______ _______ arteries, the arteries leading to the under surface of the diaphragm
Inferior phrenic
The blood flows from the inferior phrenic veins to the
Inferior vena cava
After the inferior phrenic arteries, the next artery extending from the abdominal aorta is the _________ artery which subdivides into three branches
Celiac
The three branches of the celiac artery are the ________ artery, the __________ artery, and the ________ artery.
Left gastric, hepatic, splenic
The arteries extending from the celiac artery go to certain organs and from these organs the blood flows through the corresponding
Veins
The left gastric artery leads to parts of the
Stomach and esophagus
The splenic artery extends to the pancreas, to the spleen and to parts of the
Stomach
The hepatic artery supplies blood directly to the ______. It also gives off three branches, the ________ artery, the ___________ artery, and the ________ artery
Liver, right gastric, gastroduodenal, cystic
All of the blood coming from the celiac artery (except for the branch from the hepatic artery direct to the liver) flows to the indicated parts of the digestive system through the proper arteries and from there through the corresponding veins and then empties into the
Portal vein
The portal vein carries blood to the
Liver
From the liver the blood flows into the
Hepatic veins
From the hepatic veins the blood flows into the inferior ________________ and then back to the heart
Vena cava
Trace the path of blood from the right atrium to the stomach and return.
Right atrium through tricuspid valve to right ventricle through semilunar valves to pulmonary artery to lungs to pulmonary veins to left atrium through bicuspid valve to left ventricle through semilunar valves to ascending aorta to arch of aorta to thoracic aorta to abdominal aorta to celiac artery to left gastric artery, splenic artery, hepatic artery (to right gastric artery, gastroduodenal artery) to left gastric vein, splenic vein, right gastric vein, gastroduodenal vein to portal vein to liver to hepatic veins to inferior vena cava to right atrium
The first branches of the abdominal aorta are the inferior phrenic arteries. The next branch is the celiac artery. After the celiac artery the next branch is the superior ___________ artery, the artery leading to the small intestine and half of the large intestine
Mesenteric
The inferior ________ artery extends from the abdominal aorta to the other half of the large intestine
Mesenteric
From the inferior Mesenteric vein the blood flows into the
Splenic vein
Describe the circulation of the blood from the heart to the small and large intestine and return
Heart to ascending aorta to arch of aorta to thoracic aorta to abdominal aorta to superior Mesenteric artery to small intestine and half of large intestine to superior Mesenteric vein to portal vein and also from abdominal aorta to inferior Mesenteric artery to half of large intestine to inferior Mesenteric vein to splenic vein to portal vein. From portal vein to liver to hepatic veins to inferior vena cava and return to heart
Along the abdominal aorta, just below the superior Mesenteric artery there are two branches, the right and the left ____________ arteries which carry blood to the kidneys
Renal
The renal veins empty into the inferior _____________ which carries the blood back to the heart
Vena cava
Just above the renal arteries at the ___________ arteries, the arteries leading to the suprarenal (adrenal) glands
Suprarenal
From the left suprarenal vein the blood flows into the left ________ vein
Renal
From the left renal vein the blood flows into the inferior ____________
Vena cava
The right suprarenal vein empties directly into the inferior ________
Vena cava
Another pair of arteries arising from the abdominal aorta at a point below the renal arteries are the right and left _________ or _________ arteries
Spermatic or ovarian
Both the left spermatic vein and the left ovarian vein empty into the left
Renal vein
The blood flowing from the right spermatic vein or the right ovarian vein flows directly into the
Inferior vena cava
