circulations Flashcards
what does the left common carotid supply?
left side of head and neck
what does the brachiocephalic trunk divide into?
right subclavian and right common carotid arteries
at what vertebral level does the common carotid bifurcate?
C4 — upper border or thyroid
what does the left common carotid divide into?
bifurcates in neck into left external and internal carotid arteries
what do the left external and internal arteries supply?
external — many structures in face and neck
internal — brain
what does the vertebral artery arise from and what does it supply?
- arises from subclavian artery
- supplies brain
what are located at bifurcation of common carotid?
carotid sinus and carotid bodies — monitor arterial stretch
identify A-D
A - right internal jugular
B - right external jugular
C - right subclavian vein
D - right brachiocephalic vein
what unites to from the right brachiocephalic vein?
right internal jugular and right subclavian
describe systemic circulation of upper limb
subclavian artery —> axillary artery —> brachial artery —> radial and ulna arteries
where do the left and right subclavian arteries arise from?
right - brachiocephalic trunk
left - aortic arch
where does the subclavian artery become to axillary artery?
lateral border of 1st rib
where does the axillary artery become the brachial artery?
inferior border of teres major
where does the brachial artery terminate?
in the cubital fossa by bifurcation into the radial and ulna arteries
where does the descending thoracic aorta arise and then pass through the aortic hiatus of the diaphragm?
- arises at T5
- passes through at T12
what does the descending thoracic aorta give rise to?
oesophageal, bronchial and posterior intercostal arteries
where does the renal vein lie in comparison to the renal artery?
renal vein lies anterior
where does the abdominal aorta bifurcate and what does it bifurcate into?
bifurcates into right common iliac and left common iliac at L4
