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?
