The abdominal aorta supplies the abdominal walls, viscera, and ends at T4 level where it branches into right and left common iliac arteries to supply the pelvis and lower limbs. The superior vena cava vein receives systemic blood draining from all areas superior to the diaphragm except the heart wall. It unites with the right and left brachiocephalic veins and empties into the right atrium. Both brachiocephalic veins are formed by the joining of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. The inferior
Right now I am located in the right femoral vein, which is located in the upper thigh and pelvic region of the body. It is also one of the largest veins in the venous system. The femoral vein’s purpose is to take all the blood in the lower region of the body and deliver it to the heart via the iliac vein. Today’s
Locate each of the following lymphatic vessels: right lymphatic duct, thoracic (left lymphatic) duct, right and left subclavian veins, and cisterna chyli. a right lymphatic duct b. thoracic duct c. right and left subclavian veins d. cisterna chyli . e. Determine the direction of blood and lymph movement between arterioles, blood and lymph capillaries, and venules. blood capillaries (blood) to interstitial spaces (interstitial fluid) to lymphatic capillaries (lymph) to lymphatic vessels (lymph) to lymphatic ducts (lymph) to junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins (blood). f. Describe the lymphatic system role with regard to lipids and lipid-soluble vitamins.
I also briefly touch on what an abdominal aortic aneurysm is and how to look at it with ultrasound. Abdominal Vascular Physiology The abdominal aorta is the continuation of the thoracic aorta beginning at the aortic hiatus of the diaphragm. It runs parallel to the IVC slightly to the left of the mid line. It then bifurcates at the level of the umbilicus into the right and left common iliacs. The normal diameter of the aorta is around 2 cm.
Blood flows past the aortic semilunar valve when the contracts. A. left atrium B. right atrium C. left ventricle D. right ventricle 5. Which is true? A. The left atrium contracts before the right atrium.
Week 2 : Cardiovascular System: The Blood Vessels - Quiz ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Time Remaining: | | 1. (TCO 1) All deoxygenated blood returning from the systemic circulation flows into the: (Points : 2) | Right Atrium Left Ventricle Left Atrium Right Ventricle | 2. (TCO 1) Intercalated discs: (Points : 2) | initiate the heart beat. anchor the heart in place within the mediastinum. prevent eversion of valves.
The heart consists of 2 ventricles, and also 2 atria. There is a right atrium and also ventricle, this is where the blood comes from the veins. The deoxygenated blood then goes into the right atrium of the heart. Blood is released from the atrium and goes into the right ventricle, this happens when the heart relaxes, this is where the right ventricle pushes blood in through pulmonary valve and eventually into pulmonary artery, this is the place where the blood its given to the lungs because to get back oxygen. Lastly the blood is then given back to hearts left side.
It is a series of physical reactions that transform liquid blood into a gel that forms a secure patch over the damaged blood vessel. Coagulation has three main stages: Formation of factor x and prothrombinase, Prothrombin is converted to thrombin and finally Fibrinogen is converted to fibrin. The clot is formed by these stages. It is then strengthened by a process called Clot Retraction. This is here platelets in the clot contract pulling on the fibrin strands that they are attached to.

ANS -D: The temporo mandibular jo int receives blood fro m the arteries near it , which includes the external carotid and its terminal branches since the external carot id artery terminat es in the neck of the condyloid process of mandible. 1 5. ANS -D: The top of the skull appears rounded, whereas the sides appear flattened after the zygomat ic arches are removed. The p art of the skull just med ial to the zygomat ic arch is a depression. This flattened part of the skull and the depressed region above the zygomatic arch constitute the temporal fossa which in life is occupied by the temporalis muscle.
