The cardiovascular system is made up of:

A

Heart and blood vessels

68
Q

Veins carry blood…

A

from tissues to the heart (usually deoxygenated)

69
Q

Arteries carry blood…

A

from the heart, to the tissues of the body (usually oxygenated)

70
Q

After branching off the Aorta the arteries on the LHS and RHS have a difference. What is this?

A

LHS: Aorta -> Left Common Carotid Artery -> Internal Carotid Artery or External Carotid Artery

RHS: Aorta -> brachiocephalic trunk -> Right Common Carotid Artery…(then same pattern as LHS)

On the L the subclavian artery branches off the aorta
but
R subclavian artery branches of the brachiocephalic trunk, which branches off the Aorta

Vertebral arteries branch off the subclavian artieries and then travel along the vertebral bones of the neck, before passing through the ______ _____ to supply the posterior brain.

A

Foramen Magnum

76
Q

External jugular vein

78
Q

Which blood vessel drains blood from the brain and deeper head and neck tissues?

A

Internal jugular vein

79
Q

Blood from both Internal and External Jugular veins travels via the L and R brachiocephalic veins into the Superior Vena Cava and ultimately back to the heart. True or false?

A

True

80
Q

What is the importance of the Anatomical Position?

A

To avoid ambiguities or confusion. All anatomical terminology is based on the assumption that the body is in the anatomical position.

81
Q

Describe the anatomical position:

A

Standing on flat feet, toes pointing forwards, arms by the sides of the body with palms facing forwards, the head upright and eyes looking directly forwards.
Alternatively, the body may be lying flat on the back, arms by the sides with toes, palms and eyes all directed upwards

vertical plane passing parallel to the mid-sagittal plane

85
Q

What is the vertical plane passing parallel to the mid-sagittal plane?

A

sagittal plane

86
Q

What is the Frontal (coronal) plane?

vertical plane at right angles to sagittal planes,

dividing the body into front and back parts

87
Q

What is the vertical plane at right angles to sagittal planes, dividing the body into front and back parts?
