Q

three main vessels that come back to the heart

A

veins

1) superior vena cava (everything draining from above the heart. ex head)
2) inferior vena cava (anything below the heart, bigger)

collateral circulation

A

duplication of supply routes and anastomoses (crossedlinked connections)

A

the aorta

43
Q

blood moves more easily in the myocardium when

A

its relaxed between beats (diastole)

44
Q

widow maker

A
