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
These veins carry blood from the thigh to the external iliac veins.
Deep Femoral Veins
These veins carry blood from the pelvis to the common iliac veins
Internal iliac veins
The artery which leaves the left ventricle and gives rise the brachiocephallic trunk, left subclavian artery, and aorta.
Aortic arch
The first large artery arising from the aortic arch. Carries oxygenated blood to the neck, head, and right forelimb.
Brachiocephallic trunk
The second large artery arising from the aortic arch. Carries blood to the left forelimb.
Left subclavian artery
The first vessel to arise from the right brachiocephallic trunk, medially. Carries blood anteriorly towards the neck and head.
Carotid trunk
The carotid trunk splits into the right and left ___________
Common carotid arteries
The medial branches of common carotid arteries. Carry blood to the area around the masseter muscle and chin.
External carotid artery
The lateral branches of common carotid arteries. Carry blood to the brain.
Internal carotid arteries
The secondary artery to arise from the right brachiocephallic trunk. Supplies blood to the cervical vertebrae and right forelimb.
Right subclavian artery
A continuation of the subclavian arteries. Carry blood to the armpit, shoulder, and forelimb.
Axillary 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. Carries blood to the entire posterior portion of the body.
Aorta
The first artery to branch off of the aorta, posterior to the diaphragm. Carries blood to the stomach, pancreas, and spleen.
Celiac trunk
The second artery to branch off of the aorta, posterior to the diaphragm. Carries blood to the most of the small intestine.
Cranial mesenteric artery
These two large arteries branch off of the aorta and carry blood to the kidneys.
Renal arteries
Branches off of the ventral surface of the aorta before it splits into the umbilical arteries. Carries blood to he large intestine and colon.
Caudal mesentric artery
The terminal end of the aorta splints into these two arteries. They enter the umbilical cord and carry blood to the placenta.
Umbilical ateries
Branch off of the aorta immediately anterior to the umbilical arteries. Carry blood to the thighs and hind limbs.
External iliac arteries
Branch dorsally off of the aorta, immediately anterior to the umbilical arteries. Carry blood to the pelvic region.
Internal iliac arteries
One of two branches of the external iliac arteries. Carry blood to the thigh and lower hind limb.
Femoral arteries
One of two branches of the external iliac arteries. Carry blood to thigh.
Deep femoral arteries
