Lab Test 3 Flashcards
What are the three branches off of the aortic arch?
brachiocephalic trunk
left common carotid
left subclavian
what branches off of the brachiocephalic trunk?
right common carotid
right subclavian
The aortic arch supplies
oxygenated blood to the arms neck and head
The aortic arch will curve left and become
the thoracic aorta
the thoracic aorta will branch into
intercostal arteries
esophageal arteries
the intercostal arteries supply
blood to the ribs
the esophageal arteries supply
blood to the esophagus
on each side, the subclavian artery brings oxygenated blood to
the axillary artery
the axillary artery will become the
brachial artery when the subscapular branches off
the brachial artery will divide into the
ulnar and radial arteries
the radial artery brings blood to the
hand on the thumb side
the ulnar artery brings blood to
the hand at the pinky side
Once the aorta passes the diaphragm, it becomes
the abdominal aorta
what is the celiac artery
unpaired artery that divides into three branches
what are the three branches of the celiac artery?
hepatic
left gastric
gastrosplenic
what does the celiac artery supply blood to?
liver spleen duodenum pancreas stomach
what is the superior mesenteric artery?
unpaired artery that supplies the mesenteries, the small intestines and portions of the large intestines
what is the renal artery?
supplies the kidneys
what are the genital arteries
gonadal arteries
what is the gonadal artery in males?
spermatic artery
what is the gonadal artery in women?
ovarian arteries
what is the inferior mesenteric artery?
unpaired artery that supplies blood to the large intestine and rectum
The abdominal aorta splits into
a left and right common iliac artery
what does the common iliac artery supply?
blood to the legs
Each common iliac artery splits into a
external and internal iliac artery
the external iliac artery continues as the
femoral artery with the deep femoral artery branching off
The femoral artery continues as the
popliteal artery when it goes to the back of the knee
After the popliteal artery, the femoral will branch of into the
anterior and posterior tibial arteries
What is the superior vena cava?
major vein that drains blood from the upper limbs, head and neck
Where are the external and internal jugular veins found?
either side of the trachea
The external and internal jugular veins drain
the head and neck
the external and internal jugular veins feed into
the brachiocephalic veins and into the superior vena cava
Beginning at the forearm, the draining of deoxygenated blood will begin at the
radial and ulnar veins
the radial and ulnar veins become the
brachial vein
the brachial vein drains blood into the
axillary vein
the axillary vein becomes the
subclavian vein once it passes the thorax
each subclavian vein passes blood into the
brachiocephalic vein and then into the SVC
The inferior vena cava receives blood from
smaller veins and brings it back to the heart
the renal veins
bring blood from the kidneys
the genital veins
bring blood from the spermatic vein and ovarian veins
THe deoxygenated blood from the lower legs are drained into the inferior vena cava by
the right and left iliac veins
what is the great saphenoeus vein?
drains blood from the dorsal venus arch into the femoral vein
The hepatic portal system begins as
capillaries in the digestive organs
What flows into the hepatic portal vein?
blood from the pancreas, spleen, stomach, small and large intestines
Blood from the hepatic portal vein will flow
through the capillaries in the liver and will be drained into the hepatic vein
the hepatic vein drains into the
inferior vena cava
blood pressure measures blood from
the brachial artery
blood turbulence causes the
korotkoff sound
what is a normal blood pressure?
120/80
what is the machine that measures blood pressure called?
sphygmomanometer
