can be difficult

transverse bifurcation of the iliac arteries

view of the in what plane

mid aorta sag plane

view of the in the ____ plane

mid aorta transverse

view of the in what plane

transverse distal aorta

view of the in what plane

cystic artery

what branches off of the right hepatic artery?

spine

what is posterior to the common iliac arteries

renin which acts on angiotensin II which initiates vasoconstriction BP is then maintained through vasoconstriction

what is released from the kidney in the event of bleeding?

approx L4

where do the common iliac arteries bifurcate?

located a few centimeters inferior to the CA

where is the SMA relative to the CA

right renal artery because the AO sits on the left side of the spine, forces RRA to travel a greater distance to the R kidney

which renal artery has a longer course? why?

distal portion of the AO narrows slightly demonstrated in the TRANSVERSE plane
