Veins And Arteries Flashcards
Common carotid artery
Pulse checker in neck
Left and a right follow same path except origin. Right originates in neck from brachiocephalic trunk. Left comes from heart splits( bifurcated) into internal and external at boarder of thyroid cartilage(4th cervical)
External jugular vein
Receives greater part of blood from exterior cranium and deep face. Starts in parotid gland runs alon mandible to angle, perpendicularly down neck covered by platysma crosses clavicle at posterior boarder of sternocleidomastoid continues deep into posterior triangle
Internal jugular vein
Collects blood from encephalon and some of face and neck. Largest vein in neck reflectively superficial not protected by tissues ect…
Subclavian vein
Paired.
Collects blood from arm and part of neck and face passes beneath clavicle and received from external jugular vein and others. Diameter of pinky
Continuation of axillary and runs from 1st rib to anterior of the scalene muscle
Venus angle
Internal jugular vein and subclavian vein forming together to make brachiocephalic vein
Subclavian artery
More posterior than the subclavian vein
Travels laterally between anterior and middle scalene muscles passes through clavicle and crosses 1st rib to become axillary artery
Axillary vein
Originates at lower margin of trees major continuation of brachial vein, ends at 1st rib where it becomes subclavian vein.
Deep vein runs through hollow of armpit receives flow if shoulder and thorax veins.
Basilic vein
Helps drain hand and arm large superficial vein.
Medial side of dorsal Venous of hand can see through skin
Axillary artery
Crosses the hollow of armpit. Can cut off circulation near origin in sub scapular artery and blood has alter any routes to take
Cephalic vein
Passes between deltoid and pectoralis in shoulder and then empties into the axillary vein
Brachial artery
Continuation of axillary below there’s minor. Divides at elbows to radial and ulnar arteries supply’s all flexor muscles
Arch of aorta
2nd segment of aorta branches into head and beck arteries and upper limbs arteries
Superior vena cava
carryall deoxygenated blood from upper body above diaphragm and back to the right atrium to be oxidized
Intercostal veins
Drain the areas between the ribs
Intercostal arteries
Supply the area between the ribs
