Arteries, Celiac Trunk, Coronary Vessel Arteries

Structure, Function, Location

Adrenal (Suprarenal), 3 arteries

Superior, Middle, Inferior Adrenal Arteries

What is the function of the Superior, Middle and Inferior Adrenal Arteries

Oxygenated blood, provides a rich supply for hormones production (adrenaline and cortisol)

What is the function of the anterior tibial artery?

oxygenated blood, primary blood supply for the muscles and tissues of the anterior leg

aorta

responsible for distributing oxygenated blood from the hearts left ventricle to the entire circulation

What is the function of the ascending aorta?

carries oxygenated blood away from the heart

Left and Right coronary Arteries

supply oxygenated blood directly to the heart muscle (myocardium)

these are the first branches off the aorta

What is the function of the aortic arch

distributes blood to the head, neck, and upper limbs.

Brachiocephalic Trunk

a short artery that quickly branches into the right common carotid artery and the right subcalvian artery

Right common carotid artery

supplies blood to the right side of the head and neck

Right subclavian artery

supplies blood to the right upper limb

Left common carotid artery

supplies blood to the left side of the head and neck

Left subclavian artery

supplies blood to the upper limb

What is the function of the descending thoracic aorta

supplies blood to the structures within the chest

Posterior intercostal arteries

supplies the chest wall, intercostal spaces and the spinal cord

What is the function of the abdominal aorta

supplies blood to the abdominal organs, abdominal wall, and lower extermities

Unpaired: Celiac Trunk

supplies the stomach, liver, spleen and pancreas

Paried: Renal Arteries

supply the kidney

paired: gonadal arteries

(testicular/ovarian) supply the gonads

Terminal: Right and Left common iliac arteries

the final dividing of the aorta, which supply blood to the pelvis and lower limbs

Descending Aorta is divided into

desecnding thoracic aorta and the abdominal aorta

What is the function of the axillary artery

oxygenated blood

serve as the arterial blood supply to the entire upper limb, shoulder joint and the surrounding muscles of the chest wall and back

What is the function of basilar arteries

deliver oxygenated blood to the posterior structure of the brain (pons, midbrain, cerebellum and occipital lobes)

What is the function of the circle of willis

collateral system to maintain blood flow to the brain if one major artery is blocked

What is the function of the brachial artery

supply oxygenated blood to the entire forearm and hand

External iliac artery

located in the pelvis, travels along the posas major muscle

What is the function of the external iliac artery

deliver oxygenated blood to the lower limb

What is the function of the external carotid artery

supplies oxygenated blood to the exterior of the skull, face, and neck 

What is the function of the femoral artery

deliver oxygenated blood to the entire lower limb

What is the function of the fibular artery

supplies oxygenated blood to the lateral and posterior muscles of the leg

What is the function of the gastric arteries

supply oxygenated blood to the wall of the stomach along the lesser curvature 

What is the function of the internal carotid artery?

supplies oxygenated blood to the cerebrum, eyes and forehead

What is the function of the internal iliac artery

oxygeneted blood to the pelvic organs, buttox and medial thigh 

What is the function of lumbar arteries

supply oxygenated blood to the posterior abdominal wall muscles, skin of the flank, vertebrae and spinal cord

What is the function of the middle cerebral artery

oxygenated blood supply of lateral surface of the cerebral hemisphere (speech, motor control, sensory)

What is the function of popliteal artery

supply oxygenated blood to the knee join, thigh muscle, entire leg 

What is the function of the posterior tibial artery

oxygenated blood to posterior muscle of the leg, ankle, and sole of foot

What is the function of radial artery

oxygenated blood to lateral muscle of forearm,wrist, and hand , vessel for the pulse

function of ulnar artery

supply oxygenated blood to medial muscle of forearm, wrist and hand

What is the function of the vertebral artery

major blood supply to the brain, oxygenated blood to posterior portion of circle of Willis, the cerebellum and brainstem

What are the components of the celiac trunk

common hepatic

left gastric

splenix

(in the abdomen, near the spine, for blood supply of upper abdomen)

components of coronary vessels (arteries)

coronary left and right

right mariginal

posterior interventricular

anterior interventricular

left marginal

circumflex

(supply heart with oxygen and nutrients)

Right marginal artery function

supply oxygenated blood to the right ventricle

function of left marginal artery

oxygenated blood to the wall of left ventricle

Function of posterior interventricular artery

oxygenated blood to the posterior portion of interventricular septum

What is the function of anterior interventricular arteryy

oxygenated blood to the anterior walls of both ventricle and 2/3 interventricular septum (anterior)

Circumflex artery function

supplies oxygenated blood to the lateral and posterior walls of left atrium and left ventricle
