Circulatory System Ch.11 Flashcards
A large vein carrying blood from the head, neck, and forelimbs, to the right atrium
Cranial Vena Cava(Precava)
These veins carry blood from the cephalic, subclavian, and jugular veins to the cranial vena cava
Brachiocephalic Veins
The first set of vessels to emerge from the cranial vena cava medially.
Carry blood from the head to the brachiocephalic veins located on either side of the trachea.
Internal Jugular Veins
The second set of vessels to emerge from the cranial vena cava, medially.
These veins carry blood from the head to the brachiocephalic veins.
External Jugular Veins
Third vessels to emerge from cranial vena cava medially. These veins carry blood from the forelimb to the brachiocephalic veins
Cephalic Veins
The fourth set of vessels to emerge from the cranial vena cava. Veins carry blood from the subscapular veins and axillary veins to the brachiocephalic veins
Subclavian Veins
These veins carry blood from the forelimbs and join with the subscapular veins to form the subclavian vein
Axillary Veins
These veins carry blood from the region of the armpit and join with the axillary vein to form the subclavian vein
Subscapular Veins
A large vein carrying blood from the posterior portion of the body to the right atrium
Caudal Vena Cava(Postcava)
A large vein, located between the stomach and liver. It carries blood from the stomach , spleen, pancreas, and intestines to the liver
Hepatic Portal Vein
This vein carries blood containing oxygen and nutrients from the placenta to the fetus.
Umbilical Vein
These veins carry blood from the kidneys to the caudal vena cava
Renal Veins
These veins carry blood from the external and internal iliac veins to the caudal vena cava
Common Iliac Veins
These veins carry blood from the pelvis to the common iliac veins
Internal Iliac Veins
These veins carry blood from the femoral and deep femoral veins to the common iliac veins
External Iliac Veins
These veins carry blood from the thigh and lower hind limb to the external iliac veins
Femoral Veins
These veins carry blood from the thigh to the external iliac veins
Deep Femoral Veins
The artery which leaves the left ventricle and gives to the brachiocephalic trunk,. left subclavian artery and aorta
Aortic Arch
first large artery arising from the aortic arch
Brachiocephalic Trunk
Large artery emerging from the right ventricle that branches into the pulmonary arteries that carries unoxygenated blood to the lungs
Pulmonary trunk
Second large artery arising from the aortic arch and carries blood to the left forelimb
Left subclavian artery
First vessel to arise from the brachiocephalic trunk
Carotid trunk
Carotid trunk split into 2 arteries
Common carotid arteries
Arteries that are the medial branches of common carotid arteries. They carry blood to the area around the masseter muscle and chin
External carotid arteries
Lateral branch of common carotid arteries. Carries blood to the brain.
Internal carotid arteries
Second artery arise from the right brachiocephalic trunk. Supplies blood to the cervical vertebrae and right forelimb.
Right subclavian artery
These arteries are a continuation of the subclavian arteries they carry blood to the armpit, shoulder, and forelimb
Axillary arteries
These arteries arise from the axillary arteries and carry blood into the forelimb
Brachial artery
The large vessel which lies on the mid-dorsal wall. The length of the abdominal cavity. It carries blood to the entire posterior portion of the body
Aorta
The first artery to branch off of the aorta. Posterior to the diaphragm. It carries blood to the stomach. Pancreas. And spleen
Celiac trunk
Second artery to branch off of the aorta. Posterior to the diaphragm. It carries blood to the most of the small intestine
Cranial mesenteric artery
Two large arteries branch off of the aorta and carry blood to the kidneys
Renal arteries
This artery branches off of the ventral surface of the aorta before it splits into the umbilical arteries. It carries blood to the large intestine and colon
Caudal mesenteric artery
The terminal end of the aorta splits into these two arteries. They enter the umbilical cord and carry blood to the placenta
Umbilical arteries
These arteries branch off the aorta immediately anterior to the umbilical arteries. They carry blood to the thighs and hind limbs
External iliac arteries
These arteries branch dorsally off the aorta. Immediately anterior to the umbilical arteries. They carry blood to the pelvic region
Internal iliac arteries
These arteries are one of two branches of the external iliac arteries. They carry blood to the thigh and lower hind limb.
Femoral arteries
These arteries are one of the two branches of the external iliac arteries. They carry blood to the thigh
Deep femoral arteries
