Chapter 1: Arterial Gross Anatomy Flashcards
First branch of ascending aorta are the
coronoary arteries
the coronary arteries arise
proximal to arch
branches of aortic arch
innominate/brachiocephalic
lt cca
lt subclavian artery
innominate/brachiocephalic trunk divides into
rt cca
rt subclavian artery
subclavian artery runs
laterally to outer border of 1st rib, becomes axillary artery
branches of subclavian artery
vertebral
thyrocerical
costocervical
brachial artery
branches into radial and ulnar arteries at antecubital region / elbow
radial artery travels
down lateral forearm into hand
radial artery branches to form:
superficial palmar (volar arch)
the radial artery terminates
in deep palmar arch by joining a branch of the ulnar artery
the ulnar artery travels
down medial side of forearm into hand
the ulnar artery branches to form
deep palmar (volar) arch
the ulnar artery terminates
in superficial palmar arch
main source of blood flow to the hand is from the
ulnar artery
superficial palmar (volar) arch includes
distal portion of the ulnar artery
branch of radial artery
the deep palmar arch includes
deep palmar branch of ulnar artery
distal portion of radial artery
abominal aorta branches
celiac SMA renal arteries IMA bifurcation
Celiac Artery supplies
stomach, liver, pancreas, duodenum, spleen
the celiac artery branches into
l. gastric
common hepatic
splenic
the superior mesenteric artery supplies
small intestine
cecum
parts of colon
the SMA is located
1cm distal to celiac artery (can have a common trunk with celiac)
Renal arteries supply blood to
kidneys
adrenals
ureters
