Medial
Going toward the middle of the body; toward the midsagittal plane
Lateral
Going away from the middle of the body; away from the midsagittal plane
Superficial

Superficialis
Noting a superficial artery, vein, nerve or other structure near the body surface.
Deep

Buccal cavity
Vestibule of the oral cavity; the space between the lips, gums, and teeth
Canalization
Formation of new channels in a tissue
Lumen of a vessel
The hollow space within an artery, intestine, or anatomical, tubelike structure. Will decrease in diametric size as they distance themselves from the aorta and vena cava.
Cachexia
General deterioration of the body; a state of ill health, malnutrition, and wasting. May occur in many chronic diseases as certain malignancies and advanced pulmonary tuberculosis.
Desiccation marks

The external iliac vein becomes the_________ as it passes through the ilium bone
Femoral vein
Anatomical guide
Any surface, prominence, or structure which is used to establish the location of adjacent structures or prominence. A descriptive reference for locating arteries and veins by means of anatomical structures which are known.
Anatomical limits
The point of origin and termination of a vessel as expressed in relation to adjacent structures or prominences. Used to designate boundaries of arteries.
Linear guide
Imaginary line drawn on the surface of the skin which represents the approximate location of a deeper lying structure or prominence
Another word for brachiocephalic artery
Innominate
The right common carotid artery is a terminal branch of the
Brachiocephalic artery
The ______________ is the first branch off the arch of the aorta
Brachiocephalic artery

A point from the sternoclavicular articulation to the anterior surface of the lobe of the ear.
The carotid artery lies along the medial border of the
sternocleidomastoid muscle
The left common carotid artery is _______ than the right common carotid artery
Longer
Right common carotid artery begins at…
The level of sternoclavicular articulation
The right common carotid artery terminates at….
The level of the superior border of the thyroid cartilage
The left common carotid artery beings at…
The level of the second costal cartilage

Supraclavicular incision
Along the superior boarder of the clavicular bone (limit to three inches)
Most funeral homes prefer the incision to be along the…
Inferior border of the Medial 1/3 of the clavicle bone
An incision on the surface of the skin to raise the common carotid arteries is made along the….
Superior border of the medial 1/3 of the clavicle.
Parallel incision
An incision made along the posterior boarder of the inferior sternocleidomastoid muscle. (Not used in embalming)
Restricted clavicle method (incision)
Involves utilization of both common carotids and both internal jugular veins. Recommended for difficult cases.
Considerations (pros) of the restricted cervicle method
- direct distribution to the face
- close to center of venous drainage
- close to center of embalming circulation
- fluid will enter the head from vertebral arteries
- has no branches except it’s terminal branches
Precautions (cons) of restricted cervicle method
- incision may be visible after dressing
- tubes may leave mark on face
- face may be over injected on the left side when using right common carotid as an injection site and vice versa
Internal and external carotid arteries originate…
At the bifurcation of the left and right common carotid arteries at the superior boarder of thyroid cartilage
Bifurcation of internal and external carotid arteries occur _________ not ___________
Front to back, not side to side
External carotid artery: anterior branch
Primary blood supply to the face
Internal carotid artery: posterior branch
Primary blood supply to the brain.
The accompanying vein to the internal carotid artery
Internal jugular vein
The internal jugular vein lies
Lateral and superficial to the common carotid artery
The common carotid artery will lie….
Medial and deep to the internal jugular vein.
The external facial artery is also called the
Maxillary artery
External facial/maxillary artery
Branch off the external carotid artery that supplies blood to the cheeks and lips
The external facial/maxillary artery runs along the___________ border of the mandible just anterior to the ________________________
inferior, angle of the mandible.
Place of incision for the external facial/maxillary artery
Along the anatomical guide, not more than one inch in length, directly over the mandibular notch.
The right subclavian artery arises from
right brachiocephalic artery
Right subclavian artery terminates at….
The lateral boarder of the first rib.
The Left subclavian artery arises from
the arch of the aorta as the third branch. Begins at the level of the second costal cartilage.
Left subclavian artery terminates at…
The lateral boarder of the first rib
The left subclavian artery is _______ than the right subclavian artery
Longer
Each subclavian artery gives off four branches:
1) left and right vertebral
2) left and right internal mammary
3) left and right costocervical
4) left and right thyrocervical
All incisions used in arterial injection should be limited to
No more than three inches
Left and right vertebral arteries originate from the
left and right subclavian arteries and terminates by forming the basilar artery in the foramen magnum.
