Lecture Topic 6: Anatomy of Circulation

What are all the different circulatory systems?

Blood circulatory / specialised circulatory / lymphatic

What are all the blood circulatory systems?

Systemic / pulmonary / coronary

What are all the specialised circulatory systems?

Portal / foetal

What is the distribution of arteries and vein between the R+L sides of the body?

Generally identical

What is the term relating to the head?

Cephalic 

What is the term for the neck?

Jugular

What is the term for the arm pit?

Axillary fossa

What is the term for the back of the knee?

Popliteal fossa

What is the term that’s latin for arm?

Brachium

Right common carotid

Brachiocephalic trunk

Right subclavian 

Axilliary

Brachial 

Radial

Ulnar 

External iliac

Femoral 

Popliteal 

Anterior tibial

Left common carotid

Left subclavian

Aortic arch 

Descending thoracic aorta 

Abdominal aorta 

Common iliac

Internal iliac

What does the lymphatic system consist of?

Network of lymph vessels / lymph / lymphatic tissues and organs

What are the 2 functions of the lymphatic system?

Body’s defence mech / provide mech for drainage of interstitial fluid

What causes fluid to be pushed out of the capillary?

Capillary blood pressure / CPB

What causes fluid to be pull back into the capillary from the interstitial space?

Blood colloid osmotic pressure / BCOP

Approximately how much of fluid is reabsorbed into the capillary?

85%

Internal jugular

Right brachiocephalic 

Superior vena cava 

Inferior vena cava 

Superficial vein

Left brachiocephalic 

Subclavian 

Axillary 

Brachial 

Radial 

Ulnar

Common iliac 

Internal iliac 

External iliac 

Femoral

Popliteal 

Anterior tibial 

What is the pathway for lymphatic drainage in order? (Do not need to include the word ‘lymph’)

Capillaries / Vessel / nodes / trunks / thoracic duct or R lymph duct

What does the right lymphatic duct do?

Drains lymph from the right side of head & thorax and right upper limb

What does the thoracic duct do?

Drains lymph from the remainder of the body

What is ‘lymph’?

The excess interstitial fluid that enter the lymphatic capillary

What do anastomoses do?

Join 2 or more arteries and veins (?)
