Bloodsupply limbs Flashcards
Main supplying artery of the thoracic limb
A.Axillaris ex A.Subclavia ex Arcus Aorta
Where does the left and right subclavian artery come of in diff species?
Left Subclavian Right Subclavian \+ Truncus bicaroticus comes of the TRUNCKUS BRACHIOCEPHALLICUS in EQ and OX
In dog, cat and pig the A.Subclavia Sinistra comes of the Arcus aorta!
What are the branches of the Subclavian Artery?
- A. Vertebralis
- Costocervical trunk, with:
a. A. Scapularis Dorsalis
b. A. Vertebralis Thoracica (ca)
in su,ru and eq= A. Vertebralis Suprema
c. A. Cervivalis Profunda
*3. A. Cervicalis Superficialis
- A.Thoracica interna
with:
a. musculophrenica
a. epigastrica cranialis
- A.Thoracica interna
What is the direct continuation of the subclavian artery?
A. Axilaris
The Costocervical trunk, branches and supply in large animals
Devides into:
- A.scapularis Dorsalis
- A.intercostalis suprema (a.vertebralis thoracica)
- base of the neck and around the withers
- First few intercostal arteries
Termination of the costocervical trunk in dog?
A. Cervicalis Profundus (large animals, directly from the subclavian a).
supply the dorsal cervical musculature up to nuchal region
Vertebral artery
passes cranially through the transverse canal formed by the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebrae, enters vertebral canal within the atlas.
Muscular branches to cervical muscles and spinal branches to the vertebral canal
In ox= also supply caudal portion of the brain. nb religious slaughtering.
Superficial cervical artery
vascularises the ventral part of the base of the neck
The internal thoracic artery
runs caudally above sternum and detaches the intercostal branches.
It ends at the diaphragm, where it decides into:
A.Musculophrenica: supplying diaphragm and
A. epigastrica cranialis (passes to the stomach, anastomoses with caudal epigastric)
Anastomoses of branches belonging to the subclavian a?
Anastomoses with deep cervical and vertebral arteries
and between vertebral artery and occipital artery
When does the Subclavian Artery become the A.axillaris?
After detaching branches (a.cervicalis superficialis and A.Thoracica interna) it winds around the cranial border of the first rib, to enter the forelimb.
Branches of the A.AXILLARIS
A. Thoracica externa
A. Subscapularis
A. Thoracica lateralis
(eq): A.suprascapular a. to the supraspinous m.
Branches of the A.AXILLARIS
gives of A. Thoracica externa
A. Thoracica externa
has a superficial branch to the superficial pectorals
has a deep branch to the deep pectorals
Branches of the A.AXILLARIS
gives of A. Subscapularis
A. Subscapularis
Runs towards caudal angle of scapula
Branches:
- A. circumflexa scapulae
(Infraspinous and sub scapular m) - A.Thoracodorsalis (Latissimus dorsi and teres major m)
- A. Circumflexa humerii caudalis (triceps m)
Branches of the A.AXILLARIS
- A.Subscapularis
- A.Thoracodorsalis
Runs medially on latissimus dorsi muscle together with the same named nerve
