- control chemical exchange btw brain & blood

49
Q

Capillaries of the choroid plexus

A

permeable: secretion of CSF

50
Q

Capillaries in hypothalamus & epithalamus

A

permeable: secretion of hormones into circulation

51
Q

A

internal jugular veins

52
Q

A

vertebral veins

53
Q

Scalp, skin, muscles drain to…

A

external jugular vein

54
Q

Brachiocephalic v.

A

vertebral + jugular + subclavian

55
Q

brachiocephalic veins & arteries

A

2 brachiocephalic veins

1 brachiocephalic artery

56
Q

Celiac Trunk: Cowboys Love Sex

A
  • hepatic a. > liver
  • left gastric a. > stomach
  • splenic a. > spleen, 1/2 pancreas
57
Q

Superior Mesenteric Artery: MRI

A
  • middle colic a. > transverse colon
  • right colic a. > ascending colon
  • intestinal a. > 1/2 pancreas, small intestine, appendix
58
Q

Inferior Mesenteric Artery: Liquor Stings Rectum

A
  • left colic a. > descending colon
  • sigmoidal a. > sigmoid colon
  • rectal a. > rectum
59
Q

Portal vein

A
  • vessel btw 2 capillary beds

- sends oxygen-deficient blood to liver for filtration

60
Q

Hepatic Portal System

A
  1. Liver receives blood from two sources:
    - celiac a. > common hepatic a. > proper hepatic a.
  2. Liver filters/modifies substances in the blood
  3. Liver is drained by hepatic v. to inferior vena cava
61
Q

Hepatic Portal Vein

A
  • nutrient-laden blood in GI tract

- oxygen-deficient

62
Q

Large intestine=

A

colon

63
Q

Fetal circulation

A
  • lungs are non-functional
  • liver/kidneys are somewhat functional
  • digestive tract has nothing to digest
64
Q

Placenta

A

extraordinary mass of capillary beds

65
Q

Foramen Ovale (shunt)

A
  • interatrial septum

- reduces amount of blood passing to RV

66
Q

A
  • btw pulmonary trunk & aorta

- blood in RV sent into aorta

67
Q

Blood flow in fetal circulation

A

internal iliac a > umbilical a. > placenta

68
Q

74
Q

Foramen ovale & Ductus arteriosus doesn’t close?

A

blue baby

75
Q

Coarctation of the aorta

A
  • aorta (not ductus arteriosus) closes

- critical to develop collateral circulation

76
Q

Tetralogy of Fallot

A
  • pulmonary stenosis (is too small)
  • right ventricular hypertrophy (is too big)
  • ventricular septal defect
  • a large aorta over-rides both R/L ventricles
77
Q

A
  • lymphocytes
  • return interstitial fluid from tissues to the blood
  • maintain osmotic balance in peripheral tissues
78
Q

A

production of lymphocytes

-bone marrow, thymus, peripheral lymphoid tissues

79
Q

Lymphoid organs

A

tonsils, spleen, GALT, thymus, lymph nodes

80
Q

fluid similar to plasma but with fewer proteins

82
Q

Neurovascular bundle

artery, vein, lymphatic, nerve

83
Q

A
  • larger

- valves

84
Q

A

the right arm, shoulder, and head

85
Q

A

everything else

86
Q
