PULMONARY VEINS
the largest artery in the body
AORTA

CORONARY ARTERIES CAROTID ARTERIES SUBCLAVIAN ARTERIES MESENTERIC ARTERY RENAL ARTERIES ILIAC ARTERIES
the principal branch of the aorta heading to the heart wall
CORONARY ARTERIES
the principal branch of the aorta heading to the brain
CAROTID ARTERIES
the principal branch of the aorta heading to the shoulder region
SUBCLAVIAN ARTERIES
the principal branch of the aorta heading to the intestines
MESENTERIC ARTERY
the principal branch of the aorta heading to the kidneys
RENAL ARTERIES
the principal branch of the aorta heading to the legs
ILIAC ARTERIES
