Blood Vessels Flashcards
a part of the venous circulation of the leg; a vessel used in heart bypass surgery
great saphenous vein
supplies blood to the kidney
renal artery
drains most of the thorax and abdominal wall; can serve as a bypass for the inferior vena cava
azygos vein
drains blood from the small intestine, portions of the large intestine, stomach and pancreas
superior mesenteric vein
drain blood from the head
Jugular Vein
main blood supply to arm; commonly used to measure blood pressure
Brachial Artery
supplies blood to the large intestine
Inferior Mesenteric Vein
supply blood to the lower limbs
common iliac arteries
supply blood to the brain
Carotid Arteries
supplies blood to the stomach, liver and pancreas
Celiac Trunk
These arteries supply blood to the heart tissue
Coronary Arteries
These veins drain blood from the heart muscle
Coronary sinus/ veins
These veins drain blood from the lungs
Pulmonary Vein
Blood in the vertebral veins flows next into these veins
BRACHIOCEPHALIC VEIN
The basilar artery is formed by the union of these arteries.
VERTEBRAL ARTERIES
The internal jugular veins receive blood from which sinuses?
SIGMOID SINUS
a traveling pressure wave created by the alternate expansion and recoil of elastic artereis after each systole of the left ventricle
pulse
a slow resting heart rate or pulse rate.
bradycardia
an inadequate cardiac output that results in a failure of the cardiovascular system to deliver enough oxygen and nutrients to meet the metabolic needs of body cells.
shock
a rapid resting heart rate or pulse rate
tachycardia
a temporary loss of consciousness that results from a failure of the CV system to deliver enough oxygen to meet the metbolic needs of brain cells
syncope
Pressure generated by the pumping of the heart, pushes fluid out of capillaries
blood hydrostatic pressure
Pressure created by proteins present in the interstitial fluid; pulls fluid out of capillaries.
interstitial fluid osmotic pressure
an opening in the septum between the right and left atria
becomes the fossa ovalis after birth.
foramen ovale
Pressure generated by the pumping of the heart, pushes fluid out of capillaries
net filtration pressure blood hydrostatic pressure interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure blood colloid osmotic presure interstitial fluid osmotic pressure
blood hydrostatic pressure
Pressure created by proteins present int he interstitial fluid; pulls fluid out of capillaries.
