Proximal to Arch, the first branches of ascending aorta are the coronary A.
Aortic Arch
Terminates in DEEP PALMAR arch by joining deep branch of ulnar artery
Radial Artery
Terminates in SUPERFICIAL PALMAR arch
Ulnar artery
Predominate source of blood flow to the hand
Ulnar artery
Divides into the right common carotid and subclavian arteries
Innominate/Brachiocephalic
Some branches of this vessel are: Vertebral, thyrocervical, costocervical
Subclavian A.
Distal portion of the ulnar A.
Branch of the radial A.
Superficial palmar (volar)
Distal portion of radial A.
deep palmar Branch of the ulnar A.
Deep palmar arch
First branch of the Aorta is
Celiac A. (CA)
Second branch of the Aorta is
Superior mesenteric A. (SMA)
Source of collateral pathways
Superior Mesenteric A. (SMA)
The landmark for locating the left renal A. is the left renal V. crosses the AO anteriorly or posteriorly?
The AO being what?
Anteriorly
Posteriorly
The Inferior mesenteric A. (IMA) branches off the AO in what direction?
To the left
If you see a lot of flow in the IMA that means its acting as what?
Collateral connection
Common iliac A. (CIA) divides into:
Internal iliac A. (hypogastric)
External iliac A.
