Types of circulatory routes
Systemic
Pulmonary
Coronary
Fetal
Systemic Circulation: includes all of the ____ and ______ that carry oxygenated blood to the organs from the ___ _____ and all of the veins and venules that carry the _______ blood returning to the _____ _____after flowing through the organs.
Systemic Circulation: includes all of the arteries and arterioles that carry oxygenated blood to the organs from the left ventricle and all of the veins and venules that carry the deoxygenated blood returning to the right atrium after flowing through the organs.
All systemic arteries branch from the ______. This vessel gives off 2 coronary arteries for coronary circulation and then continues as the _______ AORTA, ______ AORTA, and ______ AORTA. The ascending, transverse and descending are termed the ______ _____.
All systemic arteries branch from the AORTA. This vessel gives off 2 coronary arteries for coronary circulation and then continues as the ASCENDING AORTA, TRANSVERSE AORTA, and DESCENDING AORTA. The ascending, transverse and descending are termed the AORTIC ARCH.
In the human, there are 3 branches that come off of the aortic arch:
These all supply ______ blood
Brachiocephalic artery
Left common carotid artery
Left subclavian artery
Oxygenated
In the human, there are 3 branches that come off of the _____ ____
a. The BRACHIOCEPHALIC ARTERY which later branches into the ______ ______ ______ ARTERY, supplying oxygenated blood to the right ___ and ____ and the _____ _______ ARTERY, supplying oxygenated blood to the right ___.
b. The LEFT COMMON CAROTID ARTERY, supplying oxygenated blood to the ____ _____ and ____ is the next branch.
c. The LEFT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY, supplying oxygenated blood to the ___ ____is the final branch.
In the human, there are 3 branches that come off of the AORTIC ARCH
a. The BRACHIOCEPHALIC ARTERY which later branches into the RIGHT COMMON CAROTID ARTERY, supplying oxygenated blood to the right HEAD and NECK and the RIGHT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY, supplying oxygenated blood to the right ARM.
b. The LEFT COMMON CAROTID ARTERY, supplying oxygenated blood to the LEFT HEAD and NECK is the next branch.
c. The LEFT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY, supplying oxygenated blood to the LEFT ARM is the final branch.
The Subclavian artery becomes the ______ _____ when it goes through the arm pit area. The name then changes to the _______ _____ when it enters the upper arm. The brachial artery divides into 2 vessels at the elbow level – the _____ _____ goes towards digit __ and the ______ _____ goes towards the thumb, digit __
The Subclavian artery becomes the AXILLARY ARTERY when it goes through the arm pit area. The name then changes to the BRACHIAL ARTERY when it enters the upper arm. The brachial artery divides into 2 vessels at the elbow level – the ULNAR ARTERY goes towards digit 5 and the RADIAL ARTERY goes towards the thumb, digit 1
The descending aorta will continue inferiority through the _____ cavity (_____ _____) and _______ cavity (_____ ______). Each section of this large vessel will give off smaller arteries that take the oxygenated blood to specific organs or areas.
The descending aorta will continue inferiority through the thoracic cavity (thoracic aorta) and abdominal cavity (abdominal aorta). Each section of this large vessel will give off smaller arteries that take the oxygenated blood to specific organs or areas.
There will be a number of paired _________ ARTERIES running in-between the ribs. In addition there will be ________ ARTERIES supplying blood to the esophagus within the _____ cavity. There are also ______ ______ ARTERIES supplying the diaphragm.
There will be a number of paired INTERCOSTAL ARTERIES running in-between the ribs. In addition there will be ESOPHAGEAL ARTERIES supplying blood to the esophagus within the THORACIC cavity. There are also SUPERIOR PHRENIC ARTERIES supplying the diaphragm.
Abdominal Aorta and Its Branches
There are paired and unpaired branches in this area. The 3 major unpaired arteries are the:
Celiac artery
Superior mesenteric artery
Inferior mesenteric artery
Celiac artery
brings oxygenated blood to the liver, stomach, and spleen
Superior mesenteric artery
brings blood to the pancreas and small intestine
Inferior mesenteric artery
brings blood to the large intestine and rectum
Abdominal Aorta and Its Branches:
Examples of the paired arteries in this area are the ____ ARTERIES, supplying the kidneys with oxygenated blood and the ______ ARTERIES, supplying oxygenated blood to the ovaries or the testicles.
Examples of the paired arteries in this area are the RENAL ARTERIES, supplying the kidneys with oxygenated blood and the GONADAL ARTERIES, supplying oxygenated blood to the ovaries or the testicles.
Arteries of the legs:
The abdominal aorta will branch at the lumbar region and become the LEFT and RIGHT _____ _____
ARTERIES. The common iliac artery divides into an ________ ____ ARTERY, which descends into the lower
leg, and an _______ ____ARTERY that supplies blood to the _____ region. The external iliac artery becomes
the ______ ARTERY in the thigh when the _____ ______ ARTERY branches off, and then is called the
______ ARTERY when it goes behind the knee. The popliteal artery continues as the ______ and
________ ______ ARTERY extending down to the foot continuing as the _______ ____ ARTERY.
The abdominal aorta will branch at the lumbar region and become the LEFT and RIGHT COMMON ILIAC
ARTERIES. The common iliac artery divides into an EXTERNAL ILIAC ARTERY, which descends into the lower
leg, and an INTERNAL ILIAC ARTERY that supplies blood to the PELVIC region. The external iliac artery becomes
the FEMORAL ARTERY in the thigh when the DEEP FEMORAL ARTERY branches off, and then is called the
POPLITEAL ARTERY when it goes behind the knee. The popliteal artery continues as the ANTERIOR and
POSTERIOR TIBIAL ARTERY extending down to the foot continuing as the DORSALIS PEDIS ARTERY.
Systemic Veins: (legs)
The leg has the longest vein in the body, the _____ _______ ____that brings blood
from the lower leg upwards. The other major veins that drain the leg are the _____ and
______ _____ VEINS that merge to form the ______ _____ VEIN. Each common
iliac vein, one from each leg, joins the very large ______ ____ _____ in the pelvis region.
The leg has the longest vein in the body, the GREAT SAPHENOUS VEIN that brings blood
from the lower leg upwards. The other major veins that drain the leg are the INTERNAL and
EXTERNAL ILIAC VEINS that merge to form the COMMON ILIAC VEIN. Each common
iliac vein, one from each leg, joins the very large INFERIOR VENA CAVA in the pelvis region.
