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
Pulmonary vein
Returns blood to the heart when oxygenated by lungs. Normally(2 for each lung)
Inferior vena cadaver
Carries deoxygenated blood in lower part of body to right atrium runs along right side of vertebral column
Renal artery
Branched off abdominal aorta circulation blood to the kidneys may be more than one artery for each kidney. Able to circulate 1/3 blood each pump in kidneys.
Location of renal vein and artery
Artery located above the veins
Renal vein
Collects purified blood from kidneys and flows to inferior vena cava divided into 2 branches inside kidney anterior and posterior
Abdominal aorta
4th segment of aorta. Circulated to all organs and to the abdominal walls branches into common iliac arteries
Common iliac artery
Circulated blood to lower limbs and pelvis
Split into the internal and external iliac arteries at hip
Internal iliac artery
Supplies pelvis, genitals, buttock, and inner thigh also bladder
Femoral artery
Continuation of external iliac artery runs along the femur provides blood to thigh then splits to become superficial femoral artery, then much later named the popliteal artery
Femoral vein
Receives from thighs and saphenous vein, among others. Accompanys artery in femoral sheath. Continuation of popliteal vein becomes the external iliac vein as well
Great saphenous vein(GSV)
Longest vein in the body!!!
Collects from leg and thigh, foot.
Originates at big toe merges with dorsal venous in arch, runs up medial side of leg runs over media epicondyle of femur at knee. Forms an arch in thigh where in merges with common femoral vein
Anterior tibial artery
Runs along front of leg to dorsal artery of foot.
supply’s blood to extensors, anterior compartment of leg and dorsal surface of foot from popliteal artery. Accompanied by anterior tibial vein becomes dorsalis pedis artery at ankle
