arteries
carry blood away from the heart
arterioles
smallest branched portion of arteries; deliver blood to capillaries
capillaries
serve organs and tissues of the body (both systemic and pulmonary
venules
collect blood from capillary networks and then coverage to form veins
veins
return blood to the heart
in systemic circuit
arteries are oxygenated and veins are deoxygenated
in pulmonary circuit
arteries are deoxygenated and veins are oxygenated
order of circulation from the heart
arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins
Aorta
ascending aorta
brachiocephalic artery
right subclavian artery
right common carotid artery
left common carotid artery
left subclavian artery
aortic arch
descending aorta
thoracic artery
three major branches of the aortic arch
brachiocephalic, left common carotid and left subclavian artery
branches of brachiocephalic artery
right common carotid and right subclavian artery
subclavian arteries supply blood to
arms, chest, shoulders, back and CNS
external carotid artery supplies blood to
the face, lower jaw, neck, esophagus and larynx
internal carotid artery forms
carotid sinus with carotid baroreceptors and chemoreceptors
occipital artery
internal carotid artery
carotid sinus
vertebral artery
external carotid artery
lingual artery
facial artery
maxillary artery
superficial temporal artery
right subclavian artery arm
axillary artery
humeral circumflex artery
circles around the humerus
deep brachial artery
brachial artery
ulnar colateral artery
radial artery
on the lateral portion of the forearm
anterior crural interosseous artery
ulnar artery
on the medial side of the forearm
deep palmar arch artery
superficial palmar arch
digital artery
order of arteries in arm
subclavian > axillary > brachial > radial and ulnar > superficial and deep palmar arches
superior vena cava
drains most of the blood of the body superior to the diaphragm
external jugular vein
Blood from the face and scalp is drained through
subclavian vein
forms from the axillary vein passes through the body wall from axillary region
internal jugular vein
blood flows from the brain and superficial facial vein flows into
axillary vein
cephalic vein
brachial vein
basilic vein
brachiocephalic vein
subclavian vein joins with internal and external jugular to form
intercostal vein
subscapular vein
goes under scapular and down arm
median antebrachial vein
internal thoracic artery
intercostal artery
parietal branch of thoracic artery
superior phrenic artery
parietal branch of thoracic artery
bronchial artery
visceral branch of thoracic artery
esophageal artery
visceral branch of thoracic artery
mediastinal artery
visceral branch of thoracic artery
pericardial artery
visceral branch of thoracic artery
celiac trunk
branches into 3 arteries
left gastric artery
supplies blood to stomach and esophagus; comes off the top of the celiac trunk
splenic artery
supplies blood to the spleen; comes forward from the celiac trunk
common hepatic artery
supplies blood to the liver; comes off the right of the celiac trunk
inferior phrenic artery
off of the aorta above the diaphragm
renal arteries
supply blood to the kidneys
superior mesenteric artery
supplies blood to the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum), pancreas and majority of large intestine
abdominal aorta
aorta after crossing into diaphragm into abdominal cavity
inferior mesenteric artery
supplies blood to the distal segment of large intestine, and rectum.
common iliac arteries
external iliac arteries
branching from common iliac
femoral arteries
popliteal arteries
anterior tibial arteries
posterior tibial arteries
dorsal pedal arteries
dorsal arch arteries
fibular arteries
plantar arch arteries
external iliac veins
femoral veins
popliteal veins
small saphenous veins
great saphenous veins
anterior tibial veins
dorsal venous arch veins
posterior tibial veins
plantar venous arch veins
fibular veins
venous flow
backwards from arterial flow; flows backwards or up
inferior vena cava
receives blood from lower extremities to drain into heart
renal veins
common iliac veins
hepatic vein
drains blood from the liver
hepatic portal vein
drains blood from the capillaries in stomach, small intestine, large intestine and spleen
superior mesenteric vein
