Vessels and Circulation (Ch 23) Flashcards
What are the arteries of the thorax/abdomen?
Right coronary artery Left coronary artery Pulmonary trunk and lungs Right and left pulmonary arteries Ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending aorta, abdominal aorta
What are the veins of the thorax/abdomen?
superior vena cava
inferior vena cava
brachiocephalic vein
What are the arteries of the head/neck?
3 Branches of the aortic arch: Brachiocephalic trunk Right common carotid* Right subclavian* Left subclavian* Left common carotid artery* * Right and left common carotids have 2 branches Internal carotid artery External carotid artery
What are the veins of the head/neck?
Internal jugular vein
external jugular vein
What are the arteries of the upper limb?
Right and left subclavian arteries (to arm) Axillary artery (was subclavian) Brachial artery (was axillary artery) Radial and ulnar arteries Superficial Palmar Arch
What are the veins of the upper limb?
Basilic vein
Median cubital vein
Cephalic vein
What are the arteries of the pelvis/lower limb?
Common iliac arteries Internal iliac arteries External iliac arteries External iliac becomes: femoral artery (in thigh) Deep femoral Anterior tibial artery Posterior tibial artery
What are the veins of the pelvis/lower limb?
Great saphenous vein
Small saphenous vein
What are veins?
vessels that carry blood to the heart
-for the most part, run parallel to arteries with same name
Superior Vena Cava
(major systemic vein) drains head/upper limbs
Inferior Vena Cava
(major systemic vein) drains abdomen, pelvis, lower limbs
What are the major systemic veins?
Superior and Inferior Vena Cava
- all other veins drain into these
- venous blood returns to right atrium
What veins feed into the superior vena cava?
- L Subclavian + L Internal Jugular = L Brachiocephalic vein –> Superior Vena Cava
- R Subclavian + L Internal Jugular = R Brachiocephalic vein –> Superior Vena Cava
What are the tributaries to the Internal Jugular Vein?
- Superficial Temporal Vein: drains scalp
2. Facial Vein: drains face
Internal Jugular Vein
main drainage for head/face
Azygos Vein
main drainage for thorax (including intercostal veins) –> drains into superior vena cava
What are the veins of the superficial arm?
- Cephalic Vein
- Basilic Vein
- Median Cubital Vein
Cephalic Vein
drains later part of upper limb –> joins axillary vein to form subclavian vein
-superficial to muscles/deep to skin
Basilic Vein
drains upper medial side of arm + joins brachial vein = axillary vein
Median Cubital Vein
connects cephalic and basilic veins
-in inner-elbow (draw blood here)
What are the veins of the pelvis/lower limb?
- Popliteal Vein
- Great Saphenous Vein
- Femoral Vein
- External Iliac Vein
- Internal Iliac Vein
- Common Iliac Vein
Popliteal Vein
posterior of knee
-becomes femoral at popliteal fossa
Great Saphenous Vein
runs superficially along medial side of thigh
-joins femoral vein superiorly (through fascia)
Femoral Vein
runs down femur
-joins external iliac vein on way to heart
External Iliac Vein
in pelvis –> common iliac
Internal Iliac Vein
feeds into upper pelvis (small) –> common iliac
Common Iliac Vein
made of external iliac + internal iliac
-drains into inferior vena cava
What are the veins of the foot/leg?
- Great Saphenous Vein
- -> all others match their arteries (popliteal, fibular, anterior/posterior tibial)
What are the major systemic arteries exiting the heart?
- Aorta
- aortic arch + branches (brachiocephalic trunk, L common corrupted artery, L subclavian artery)
What are the branches of the brachiocephalic trunk?
- R Subclavian artery
- R Common Carotid
- -> supply R head, neck, and upper limbs
Right Subclavian Artery
feeds upper R limb
Right Common Carotid Artery
blood supply to head/neck
Aorta
exits from L ventricle
-aortic arch + branches supply head, neck, and upper limbs with blood
Left Common Carotid Artery
superior through neck, supplies blood to head/neck
