What’s the divisions of the aorta?
Aorta ascendens Arcus aortae Aorta descendens; - Aorta thoracica - Aorta abdominalis
Origin of truncus brachiocephalicus?
Arcos aortae
+ a. sublavia sinistra in Su, Car which an is independent in these two species
What’s the division of Truncus brachiocephalichus?
Generally;
- Truncus bicaroticus (Not in Car)
- a. carotis communis dexter
- a. carotis communis sinister - a. subclavia dextra
- a. subclavia sinistra
In Car and Su the a. subclavia sinistra arises more from arcus aorta.
What are the branches of a. subclavia?
6 branches;
- Truncus costocervicalis
- a. vertebralis
- a. cervicalis superficialis
- a. thoracica interna
- a. axillaris
- Truncus thyrocervicalis (Only in Sus)
What are the branches of Truncus costocervicalis?
a. intercostalis suprema
a. scapularis dorsalis
a. cervicalis profunda
What are the branches of a. cervicalis superficialis?
r. deltoideus
r. ascendens
r. prescapularis
r. suprascapularis
What are the branches of a. thoracica interna?
- rr. thymici
- rr. mediastinales
- rr. perforantes
- rr. intercostales ventrales
- rr. mammarii; In Car, Sus
- a. pericardiacophrenica
- a. musculoprenica
- a. epigasatrica cranialis
What are the branches of Truncus thyrocervicalis?
- a. thyroidea caudalis dextra
- a. cervicalis superficialis dextra
(Situated only on the right side; of a. subclavia dextra)!!!
Main continuation of a. subclavia?
a. axillaris
Supplying thoracic limb
What form’s the a. basilaris?
The two a. vertebralis running from each side of the neck by fusion.
Through canalis vertebralis –> Formanen magnum of the skull.
In many cases anastomoses with a. occipitalis in the atlas region.
Main continuation of a. cervicalis superficialis?
r. ascendens
Supply; M trapezius cervicis and ln. cervicales superficiales
Imp branch for supply of diaphragm, pericard and muscles of thoracic wall and the structures within the thoracic cavity?
a. thoracica interna
What’s the origin of aorta thoracica?
Runs from 6th vertebrae to the diaphragm. In caudal mediastinum, space behind the heart
What’s the branches of aorta thoracica?
aa. intercostales dorsales with it’s 4 branches;
- r.dorsalis
- r. spinalis
- rr. cutanei
- rr. phrenici
Wha’ts the continuation of vena cava cranialis?
Enters right atrium through the sinus venosus
What’s the v. cava cranialis built up by?
vv. subclavia sinister et dexter
vv. jugulares externae dexter et sinistra
What drains the blood from head and neck?
vv. jugulares
What drains the thorax?
Mainly v. subclavia
Describe the aorta abdominalis?
Continuation of the aorta thoracica.
Starts from hiatus aorticus of the diaphragm. Runs behind diaphragm.
At the last lumbar vertebrae it divides into branches supplying the pelvic limbs and pelvic cavity
What’s the branches of aorta abdominalis?
Generally;
- a. phrenica caudalis: Not Eq since has cranialis instead
- a. abdominalis cranialis
- a. coeliaca
- a. mesenterica cranialis
- aa. renales
- aa. ovaricae/testiculares
- a. mesenterica caudalis
- aa. lumbales
- a. sacralis mediana
a. subclavia sinistra is a branch of?
It’s a branch of truncus brachiocephalicus in Ru and Eq.
In Su and Car it will arise from Arcus aortae
What’s the differences between speicies when it comes to a. phrenica caudalis?
Not in Eq. They instead have a. phrenica cranialis.
Supply dorsal part of diaphragm
In which animals do we find a. abdominalis cranialis?
Su and Ca.
Supplying abdominal wall
Which is an important branch of aorta abdominalis?
a. coeliaca for organs of abdominal cavity
