Thoracic And Abdominal Circulation Flashcards
The aorta is divided into these four areas
What is the ascending aorta, the aortic arch, the thoracic aorta and the abdominal aorta
This branch of the aorta is located above The diaphragm in the thoracic cavity, starts a T4, and ends a T 12 contains visceral and parietal branches.
What is a thoracic aorta?
This visceral branch of the thoracic aorta supplies, blood to the lungs, tissue and bronchi
What is the bronchial arteries (there are 3) 1 right 2 left?
This visceral branch of the thoracic aorta supplies, blood to the esophagus
What is the esophageal arteries (4-5)
This parietal branch of the thoracic, a order supplies, blood to the superior portion of the diaphragm
What is the superior phrenic arteries (1 pair)
This parietal branch of the thoracic aorta supplies, blood between the ribs in the thoracic wall
What are the intercoastal arteries?
This parietal branch of the thoracic aorta supplies blood beneath the ribs and thoracic wall
What are the subcostal arteries (1 pair)
Circulation of the Thoracic cavity. Fill in the blanks
Fill in the blanks
The brachial vein, intercostal vein, and subcostal vein all are tributaries of this vein before arriving at the superior vena cava
What is the azygos vein? (BIS)
The superior phrenic vein, the pericardial vein, and the esophageal vein, all are tributaries of this vein before arriving at the superior vena cava
What is the innominate vein?
The abdominal aorta terminates at this point
What is Lumbar 4 (L4)
This artery is situated below the diaphragm in the abdominal cavity, and penetrates the aortic orifice in the diaphragm, and starts at L1 and Terminates at, L4, and contains visceral and parietal branches
What is the abdominal aorta?
The celiac axis a.k.a. the celiac trunk a.k.a. the celiac artery has these three visceral branches of abdominal circulation
What are the 1. left gastric artery 2. the splenic artery and 3. hepatic artery a.k.a. common hepatic artery
Hepatic artery has these three
Visceral branches of abdominal circulation
What are the right gastric artery, the cystic artery and the gastroduodenal artery
This artery supplies, the left side of the stomach, a.k.a. the greater curvature
What is the left gastric artery?
This artery supplies, the spleen, pancreas and stomach
What is the splenic artery?
This artery supplies the liver
What is the hepatic artery a.k.a. the common hepatic artery
This artery supplies, blood to the right side of the stomach, a.k.a. the lesser curvature
What is the right gastric artery?
This artery, which is a branch of the hepatic artery, supplies blood to the gallbladder
What is the cystic artery?
This artery, a branch of the hepatic artery, supplies the stomach and duodenum (part of the small intestines)
What is the Gastroduodel artery?
This artery supplies, all of the small intestines and the proximal half of the large intestines
What is the superior mesenteric artery?
This artery supplies, the adrenal glands, a.k.a., the suprarenal Glands
What is the right and left adrenal Arteries a.k.a. suprarenal arteries
These arteries supply the kidneys
What are the right and left renal arteries?
These artery supply blood to the gonads
What are the right and left gonadal arteries
These artery supply blood to the testes in the male
What are right and left testicular or spermatic arteries 
These artery supply blood to the ovaries in the female
What are right and left ovarian arteries
This Artery supply blood to the distal half of the large intestines
What is the inferior mesenteric artery?
The liver is a remarkable organ in the sense that it has a dual blood supply; oxygenated blood is supplied to the liver with this artery
What is the hepatic artery?
Deoxygenated blood is carried to the liver through this vein
What is the portal vein?
Hepatic portal circulation carries venous blood from the digestive organs in the spleen to this organ
What is the liver?
With the hepatic portal system, circulation terminates in this organ, and not in the right atrium
What is the liver?
The vessels that are involved with the hepatic portal system, supply blood to the organs of this system
What is the digestive system?
These eight arteries are involved in the hepatic portal circulation
- Left gastric artery, 2. splenic artery, 3. inferior mesenteric artery, 4. right gastric artery, 5. cystic artery, 6. gastroduodenal artery 7. superior, mesenteric artery, hepatic artery
The left gastric artery supplies, blood to this part of the body
What is the greater curvature of the stomach?
This splenic artery provides blood to these three parts of the body
What is the spleen, pancreas and stomach?
The inferior mesenteric artery supplies, blood, to this part of the body
What is the distal end of the large intestine?
The right gastric artery supplies, blood to this part of the body
What is the Lesser curvature of the stomach?
The cystic artery supplies, blood, to this part of the body
What is the gallbladder?
The gastroduodenal artery supplies, blood to these two parts of the body
What is the stomach and duodenum?
The superior, mesenteric artery supply blood to this part of the body
What is the proximal half of the intestines?
The hepatic artery provides blood to this organ?
What is the liver?
Veins that are tributary to the portal vein only deal with this system
What is the digestive system?
Fill in the blanks
This parietal branch of the abdominal aorta supplies, the undersurface of the diaphragm
What is the inferior phrenic arteries?
(One pair - right)
This parietal branch of the abdominal aorta supplies the abdominal muscles in the abdominal wall
What are the lumbar arteries? (4 right pairs and 4 left pairs)
The parietal branch of the abdominal aorta supplies the sacrum and coccyx
What is the middle sacral artery? (1 single artery)
