L7 - Arterial Supply Flashcards
In what order do arteries branch from the aortic arch?
Brachiocephalic (right), common carotid (left), and subclavian (left)
What does the brachiocephalic arch immediately bifurcate to become?
The right subclavian a. and common carotid a.
What two arteries branch off the proximal portion of the subclavian a.?
The vertebral and internal thoracic arteries
Outline the arterial supply from the aorta to the hand.
Aortic arch –> brachiocephalic a. (right side only) –> subclavian a. –> axillary a. –> brachial a. –> radial a. and ulnar a.
What arteries branch off the internal thoracic a. to supply the ribs?
The intercostal arteries
What three arteries branch off the celiac trunk?
The common hepatic a., left gastric a., and splenic a.
What arteries branch off the common hepatic a.?
The right gastric a., the gastroduodenal a., and the proper hepatic a.
From where do the right and left gastroepiploic arteries branch?
The right from the gastroduodenal a.; the left from the splenic a.
What arteries branch off the proper hepatic artery?
Right hepatic a. and left hepatic
What arteries branch off the abdominal aorta soon after the celiac trunk?
The superior mesenteric artery, the suprarenal arteries, and the renal arteries
What paired artery branches off the abdominal aorta soon after the superior mesenteric artery? What single artery branches off the abdominal aorta soon after the pair? What pair branches off the posterior abdominal aorta soon after that?
Gonadal arteries; inferior mesenteric a.; lumbar arteries
What single artery descends from the bifurcation in the abdominal aorta?
The median sacral artery
Trace the path of blood flow from the bifurcation in the abdominal aorta to the foot.
Common iliac a. –> external iliac a. (and internal) –> femoral a. (and deep femoral) –> popliteal a. –> anterior tibial a. and posterior tibial a.
