week 2: abdominal vasculature Flashcards
Flow of blood starting in arteries
arteries –> arterioles –> capillaries –> venules –> veins
What Bifurcates
Arteries
What confluences
Veins
3 layers of arteries and veins from out –> in
- tunica adventicia
- tunica media
- tunica intima
smooth muscle layer allows for contraction and dilation
tunica media
made of CT, collagen, and elastic fibres for greater elasticity
tunica adventitia
small arteries have __ elastic tissue and __ smooth muscle than large arteries
- less
- more
- Large arteries need more elastic to maintain steady blood flow
hollow, collapsible tubes with diminished tunica media
veins
___ have larger total diameter than ____
- veins
2. arteries
__ does NOT change in diameter with respiration
aorta
contain vales that prevent back-flow and permit blood to flow only in 1 direction
veins
Aorta is Left of…
spine, IVC
Aorta is posterior to
- left lobe of liver
- body of pancreas
- pylorus of stomach
- celiac trunk
- splenic vein
- SMA
- LRV
Aorta is anterior to
- psoas muscle
- spine
Aorta is medial to
- kidney
- tail of pancreas
Max diameter of distal Aorta
3.0cm
Branches of the Abdominal Aorta
- celiac trunk
- SMA
- Renal arteries
- Gonadal arteries
- inferior mesenteric artery
- common iliac
branches of celiac artery
- common hepatic
- left gastric artery
- splenic artery
gastroduodenal artery is a branch of
common hepatic artery
proper hepatic artery is a branch of
common hepatic artery
R/L/M hepatic arteries are a branch of
proper hepatic artery
gastric artery is branch of
celiac artery
what is supplied by the celiac artery
stomach, liver, spleen and small bowel
-low resistance blood flow
what has continuous forward flow in diastole
celiac artery
supplies small bowel, ascending colon, part of trv colon, and head of pancreas
SMA
high resistance multiphasic blood flow when fasting
SMA
