Lab 13: fetal pig dissection 2

Precava

Carries unoxygenated blood from the head, neck, and forelimbs, to the right atrium. 

Brachiocephalic veins 

Carry blood from the cephalic, subclavian, and jugulars to the precava. 

Internal jugular vein 

The first set of vessels to emerge from the cranial vena cava, medially. These veins carry blood from the head to the brachiocephalic veins. They are located on either side of the trachea. 

External jugular veins 

The second set of vessels to emerge from the cranial vena cava, medially. Carry blood from the head to the brachiocephalic veins. 

Subscapular veins

The third set of veins medially in the neck region. They carry blood from the region of the arm pit and join with the axillary vein to form the subclavian vein.

Subclavian veins

The fourth set of vessels vessels medially in the neck region. These veins carry blood from the subscapular veins and axillary veins to the brachiocephalic veins. 

Axillary veins 

These veins carry blood from the forelimbs and join with the subscapular veins to form the subclavian vein 

Postcava

Carries unoxygenated blood from the posterior portion of the body to the right atrium. 

Hepatic portal vein 

A large vein located between the stomach and liver. It carries blood from the stomach, spleen, pancreas, and intestines to the liver. 

Umbilical vein

This vein carries blood containing oxygen and nutrients from the placenta to the fetus. 

Renal veins 

These veins carry blood from the kidneys to the caudal vena cava. 

Common iliac veins 

These veins carry blood from the external and internal iliac veins to the caudal vena cava. 

Internal iliac veins 

These veins carry blood from the pelvis to the common iliac veins. 

External iliac veins 

These veins carry blood from the femoral and deep femoral veins to the common iliac veins. 

Femoral veins 

These veins carry blood from the thigh and lower hind limb to the external iliac veins. 

Deep femoral veins 

These veins carry blood from the thigh to the external iliac veins. 

Aortic arch 

The artery that leaves the left ventricle and gives rise to the brachiocephalic trunk, left subclavian artery, and dorsal aorta. 

Left subclavian artery 

The second large artery arising from the aortic arch. It carries blood to the left forelimb. 

Brachiocephalic trunk  

The first large artery arising from the aortic arch. It carries oxygenated blood to the neck, head, and right forelimb. 

Right subclavian artery 

The second artery to arise from the brachiocephalic trunk. It supplies blood to the cervical vertebrae and right forelimb. 

Carotid trunk 

The first vessel to arise from the brachiocephalic trunk, medially. It carries blood anteriorly towards the neck and head. 

Common carotid arteries 

The carotid trunk splits into the right and left common carotids. 

External carotid artery 

Medial branches of common carotid arteries. They carry blood to the area around the masseter muscle and chin. 

Internal carotid arteries 

Lateral branches of common carotid arteries. They carry blood to the brain. 

Axillary arteries 

Continuation of the subclavian arteries. They carry blood to the armpit, shoulder, and forelimb. 

Dorsal aorta 

Lies on the mid-dorsal wall, measures the length of the abdominal cavity. It carries blood to the entire posterior portion of the body. 

Celiac trunk 

First artery to branch off of the dorsal aorta, posterior to the diaphragm. It carries blood to the stomach, pancreas, and spleen. 

Cranial mesenteric artery 

The second artery to branch off of the aorta, posterior to the diaphragm. It carries blood to most of the small intestine. 

Renal arteries 

Branch off of the aorta and carry blood to the kidneys. 

Caudal mesenteric artery 

This artery branches off of the ventral surface of the aorta before it splits into the umbilical arteries. It carries blood to the large intestine and colon. 

Umbilical arteries 

The terminal end of the aorta splits into these two arteries. They enter the umbilical cord and carry blood to the placenta. 

Internal iliac arteries 

These arteries branch dorsally off of the aorta, immediately anterior to the umbilical arteries. They carry blood to the pelvic region. 

External iliac arteries 

These arteries branch off the aorta immediately anterior to the umbilical arteries. They carry blood to the thighs and hind limbs. 

Femoral arteries

These arteries are one of two branches of the external iliac arteries. They carry blood to the thigh and lower hind limb. 

Deep femoral arteries 

These arteries are one of two branches of the external iliac arteries. They carry blood to the back of the thigh.
