Lab 11 pt.2: Circulatory System Flashcards
A large vein carrying blood from the head, neck, and forelimbs, to the right atrium.
Cranial vena cava
These veins carry blood from the cephalic, subclavian, and jugular veins to the cranial vena cava
Brachiocephallic Veins
The first set of vessels to emerge from the cranial vena cava, medially. Carry blood from head to the brachiocephallic veins. Located on either side of trachea
Internal Jugular Vein
Second set of vessels to emerge from the cranial vena cava, medially. Carry blood from the head to the brachiocephallic veins.
External Jugular Veins
The third vessels to emerge from the cranial vena cava, medially. Carry blood from the forelimb to the brachiocephallic veins.
Cephallic veins
The fourth set of vessels to emerge from the cranial vena cava, medially. Carry blood from the subscapular veins and axillary veins to the brachiocephallic 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 arm pit 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
A large vein located between the stomach and liver. 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 the external and internal veins to the caudal vena cava.
Common 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
