Systemic Circulation Flashcards
Parasympathetic to SA node
Release ACh to decrease blood flow
Sympathetic to SA node
Release NE to increase blood flow
Parasympathetic nerve to SA
Vagus Nerve
Sympathetic nerve to SA
Cervical and upper thoracic chain ganglion
Blood supply to upper limb
subclavian artery
point of Subclavian to Axillary artery
First rib
point of Axillary to Brachial artery
Teres Major
Brachiocephalic artery branches to
Right common carotid artery
Right subclavian artery
Common carotid artery branch to
Internal and External carotid arteries
Internal Carotid artery
travel up carotid canal and make circle of Willis
External Carotid artery
travel superficailly for face
Carotid Sinus checks
BP
Carotid Body checks
O2
Carotid Body innervated by
Glossopharyngeal nerve
Circle of Willis location
Surround pituitary gland
cirlce of Willis anastamoses of
Interal carotid artery, Vetebral arteries(2) -> Basilar artery
Internal carotid artery branches
anterior cerebral artery
anterior communicating artery
posterior communicating artery
Posterior carotid artery branch from
Basilar artery
Stroke
Focal neurological deficit due to lack of blood supply
Aneurysm
Abnormal widening of artery
comes with thunderclap headache when rupture
Blood will fill subarachnoid space
Causes of aneurysms
congential
high blood pressure
high cholestrol
Ischemia
lack of oxygen
External carotid artery branches
3 anterior branches
superior thyroidal
lingual
facial
2 posterior branches
occipital
region of posterior auricular
2 terminal branches
superficial temporal
maxillary
superior thyroidal artery
goes to thyroid gland
Lingual artery
tongue
Facial artery
travel over mandible (superficial)
