The basilar artery is formed by the union of the ____ arteries
Vertebral
The function of baroreceptors is to monitor changes in:
Blood Pressure
Baroreceptors are located in the
walls of the aorta and carotid arteries
The vasomotor region of the cardiovascular center directly controls
Peripheral resistance by changing the diameter of the blood vessels.
The internal jugular veins receive blood from the
Superior Vena Cava
The first major branch off the aorta below the diaphragm is the
superior mesenteric artery
Blood in the great saphenous vein flows into the
Femoral Vein
The circulation of blood through the vascular system is influenced by (pick all that apply)
All Are Correct
Peripheral resistance depends on (pick all that apply)
A) blood viscosity C) vessel length D) vessel radius.
Receives blood from all areas superior to the diaphragm, except the heart wall.
Superior Vena Cava
Carries oxygen poor blood to the lungs
Pulmonary Artery
Drains the scalp
External Jugular Vein
runs through the armpit area
Axillary Artery
Drains the upper extremities.
subclavian vein
Gives rise to the right common carotid and right subclavian artery
brachiocephalic trunk
Supplies the lower limbs
External Iliac Artery
common site to take the pulse
Radial Artery
Major supply to the cerebral hemispheres
Internal Carotid Artery
Large unpaired branch of the abdominal aorta
Celiac Trunk
Abdominal aorta splits to form two
Common Iliac Artery
Artery usually palpated to take the blood pressure.
Brachial Artery
Major artery of the thigh
Femoral Artery
Artery that supplies the small intestine
superior mesenteric artery
supplies the kidneys
Renal Arteries
Carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs
pulmonary vein
