Test 2 Vasculature Flashcards
what does the common carotid branch off of?
R: brachiocephalic
L: aortic arch
what is it called when the common carotid splits?
carotid bifurcation
Divisions of carotid bifurcation?
Internal and External Caroitd
internal carotid destination?
brain and circle of Willis
what is located within the Internal Carotid artery?
carotid sinus and carotid body
what does the carotid sinus sense?
Blood pressure via baroreceptors
what does the carotid body sense?
pH, CO2 via chemoreceptors
External Carotid artery destination?
soft structures of superficial head, supply the upper neck, surface and head
branches of Subclavian artery
1) . Vertebral arteries,
2) . Thyrocervical trunk,
3) . Costocervical trunk
4) . Internal thoracic artery
Vertebral arteries destination
brain (travel through cervical transverse foramen and then through the foramen magnum
Thyrocervical trunk destinations
1) . muscles at base of neck, scapula,
2) . thyroid
3) . cervical structure
Costocervical trunk destinations
1) . ribs
2) . cervical structures
Internal thoracic artery destination
anterior rib cage
venous supply of the neck and skull
Jugular veins (internal, external and anterior)
what does the internal jugular vein do?
drains blood from brain
what does the external jugular vein do?
drains superficial structures of the head
what does the anterior jugular vein do?
empties into external jugular vein at base of neck to give jugular venous arch
Vagus nerve structural destinations
tongue, pharynx, thorax, and abdomen
thyroid gland vasculature
superior branches of external carotid artery and inferior branches of subclavian artery
parathyroid vasculature
inferior thyroid artery branching from subclavian
parathyroid innervation
cervical sympathetic ganglia
laryngeal blood vessles
superior branches from external carotid artery inferior branches from subclavian artery
blood vessels of pharynx
arteries = branches of external carotid pharyngeal venous plexus

inferior abdominal aperture contents
esophagus, nerves (vagus, sympathetic chain), blood vessels (inf vena cava, descending aorta), internal thoracic arteries
what are the internal thoracic arteries called as they pass the diaphragm?
superior epigastric arteries
blood supply to Ant and Ant/lat thoracic wall
R/L subclavian arteries -> internal thoracic artery -> ant intercostals arteries -> ant and lat intercostals spaces of ribs 1-10
