Vessel & Nerves Flashcards
right and left internal iliac arteries
- terminal branches of aorta
- runs caudally w/in pelvic cavity
- divide into 2 branches after the umbilical a.
Right & left external Iliac arteries
- given off by aorta
- go laterally to supply pelvic limbs
terminal branches of aorta
- Left internal iliac a
- Right internal iliac a
- Median sacral a
median sacral a.
runs caudally, ventral to sacrum & eventually supplies the tail
umbilical a.
- 1st branch of internal iliac a.
- part of fetal vessels
- may remain patent in adults to the apex of the bladder
2 branches internal iliac a. divides into…
- Caudal gluteal a.
2. Internal pudendal a.
Caudal Gluteal a.
- larger of the 2 division of the internal iliac a.
- its branches supply mm of rump
- passes lateral to ischium to supply proximal parts of caudal thigh mm
internal pudendal a
- ventral to caudal gluteal a.
- runs caudally through pelvic cavity
- supplies pelvic viscera & penis/clitoris
- divides into several branches
prostatic a.
- division of internal pudendal a in the male
- supplies prostate, ductus deferens, urethra, urinary bladder, & rectum
Vaginal a.
- branch of internal pudendal a.
- supplies urinary bladder, urethra, uterus, vagina, & rectum
Uterine a.
- comes from vaginal a
- runs cranially in mesometrium
- continuous with uterine branch of ovarian a.
- must be ligated in ovariohysterectomy
pelvic nerves
- met by hypogastric nn. caudally from caudal mesenteric plexus
- carry parasympathetic fibers from sacral segments of spinal cord
- supply sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers to pelvic viscera
- form pelvic plexus w/ hypogastric nn.
deep femoral a
- ONLY branch of external iliac a
- comes just before external iliac a leave abdominal cavity
caudal epigastric a
- runs cranially on deep surface of rectus abdominus m
- supplies rectus abdominus m
- originates from deep femoral a.
external pudendal a
- passes through superficial inguinal ring
- originates from deep femoral a
pudendoepigastric trunk
common trunk that both caudal epigastric a & external pudendal a may arise from
medial circumflex femoral a
- what deep femoral a becomes after caudal epigastric a & external pudendal a. are given off
- leaves pelvic cavity through vascular lacunae
- supplies medial thigh mm
femoral a
- when external iliac a leaves abdominal cavity
- main blood supply to hind limb
superficial circumflex iliac a
enters deep surface of sartorius m. from femoral a.
lateral circumflex femoral a.
- runs b/n rectus femoris & vastus medialis mm.
- supplies quadriceps femoris, tensor fascia latae, & superfical & middle gluteal mm.
proximal caudal femoral a
- crosses pectineus & adductor mm.
- enters deep surface of gracilis m.
- supplies pectineus, adductor, & gracilis mm
- leaves femoral a. near its middle
saphenous a
- comes from caudal surface of femoral a & runs distally on superficial surface of crus
- accompanied by saphenous n. & medial saphenous v.
- divides into cranial & caudal branches near stifle jt
