PATTERN OF CIRCULATION Flashcards
TWO PATTERNS OF CIRCULATION
PULMONARY CIRCULATION
SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION
this pattern of circulation connects the heart and lungs
PULMONARY CIRCULATION
this pattern of circulation connects the heart with all body tissues
SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION
these are the only arteries in the body that carry oxygen-poor blood
PULMONARY ARTERIES
these are the only veins in the body that carry blood rich in oxygen
PULMONARY VEINS
the largest artery in the body
AORTA
the 6 PRINCIPAL BRANCHES OF THE 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
7 TYPES OF VEINS
JUGULAR VEINS SUBCLAVIAN VEINS RENAL VEINS ILIAC VEINS HEMATIC VEINS SUPERIOR VENA CAVA INFERIOR VENA CAVA
a vein heading to the heart from the brain
JUGULAR VEINS
from the shoulders and arms
SUBCLAVIAN VEINS
a vein heading to the heart from the kidneys
RENAL VEINS
a vein heading to the heart from the lower limbs
ILIAC VEINS
a vein heading to the heart from the liver
HEMATIC VEINS
veins from the upper portion of the body merge to form the _________
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA
veins from the lower portion of the body merge to form the _________
INFERIOR VENA CAVA
these principal blood vessels give rise to a network of capillaries within the heart wall
CORONARY ARTERIES
coronary veins join to form the ____________, which empties into the right atrium
CORONARY SINUS
the CORONARY SINUS empties into the _______
RIGHT ATRIUM
in the _______, the HEPATIC PORTAL VEIN delivers nutrients from the intestine to the liver, with extensive network of BLOOD SINUSES
HEPATIC PORTAL SYSTEM
in the HEPATIC PORTAL SYSTEM, the __________ delivers nutrients from the intestine to the liver, with extensive network of BLOOD SINUSES
HEPATIC PORTAL VEIN
in the HEPATIC PORTAL SYSTEM, the HEPATIC PORTAL VEIN delivers nutrients from the intestine to the ____, with extensive network of BLOOD SINUSES
liver
in the HEPATIC PORTAL SYSTEM, the HEPATIC PORTAL VEIN delivers nutrients from the intestine to the liver, with extensive network of _________
BLOOD SINUSES
these deliver blood to the INFERIOR VENA CAVA from the HEPATIC PORTAL SYSTEM
HEPATIC VEINS
the system of blood vessels that delivers blood to the heart muscle and returns blood from the heart muscle to the right atrium
CORONARY CIRCULATION
the portion of the circulatory system that carries blood from the intestine through the liver
HEPATIC PORTAL SYSTEM
PATTERN OF PULMONARY CIRCULATION
right atrium ➝ right ventricle ➝ pulmonary arteries ➝ pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) ➝ pulmonary veins ➝ left atrium
PATTERN OF SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION
left atrium ➝ left ventricle ➝ aorta ➝ right common iliac artery ➝ smaller arteries in leg ➝ capillaries in leg ➝ small veins in leg ➝ common iliac vein ➝ inferior vena cava ➝ right atrium
