Which three arteries branch from the aorta to supply the head?

Brachiocephalic trunk, carotid artery, subclavian artery

1. The brachiocephalic trunk branches into the _______________________________ and _______________________________ arteries. Note that there is no brachiocephalic trunk on the left side of the neck.

Common carotid (R), subclavian artery(L)

1. Locate the common carotid arteries. Branches of these arteries, the _____________________________ (which supplies blood to 80% of the cerebrum) and the external carotid arteries (which supplies the superficial head and neck) travel through the neck and enter the skull.

Internal carotid artery

4. Beginning at the jugular foramen at the base of the skull are the paired _____________________ veins which unite with the subclavian veins on the corresponding side to form the brachiocephalic vein.

Internal jugular

1. The brachial artery ends just below the bend of the elbow, where it divides into the ____________________ and ________________ arteries.

Radial artery, ulnar artery

____________________ lymphatic duct empties here and drains lymph from the ___________________.

Right, Right side of the head right side of the thorax and right arm

What are its three branches (in descending order by size)

Splenic artery, common hepatic, left gastric

Locate the subclavian artery. At the outer border of the first rib, this artery turns into the _______________________ which turns into the _________________________ at the inferior edge

axillary artery, brachial artery

1. On the medial aspect of the upper limb is the large ____________________ which joins with the ________________ to merge into the axillary vein.

basillic vein, cephalic vein

1. Locate the first branch of arteries from the abdominal aorta (you may need to hide the left anterolateral segment of the liver). What is this called?

celiac trunk

_______________________________ at the top of the pelvis. In turn, these arteries soon branch into the _______________________________, which travels into the pelvis near the sacrum, and the _______________________________ which continues through the pelvis past the ilium

common iliac arteries, internal iliac arteries, external iliac arteries

The femoral veins then become the_______________________________ at the inguinal ligament

external iliac vein

The occipital veins and branches of the retromandibular vein join to travel down the outside of the neck as the _______________________________.

external jugular vein

At the inguinal ligament, the external iliac arteries continue into the legs as the

femoral artery

1. The longest vein in the body, the __________________________________ (which is often removed to be used in coronary bypass surgery), begins at the foot and ends in the large _________________________________.

great saphenous vein, femoral vein

1. Locate the final large artery that branches from the abdominal aorta. This is the ______________________ and supplies the large intestine and rectum.

inferior mesenteric artery

common hepatic

liver gallbladder

1. At the antecubital fossa, an important vein for blood draws, the ___________________________ splits from the cephalic vein, which then travels between the biceps brachii and brachialis m., and empties into the ____________________.

median cubital vein, axillary

1. Continuing down the leg, the femoral artery continues to the posterior knee as the ________________________ which then splits at inferior to the popliteal region into the ____________________________ and _____________________.

popliteal artery, posterior tibial, fibular artery

1. Branching from the lateral aspects of the aorta are the paired ____________________ which serve the kidneys.

renal arteries (kidneys)

left gastric

stomach

1. The external jugular veins drain into the _______________________ while the internal jugular veins drain into the __________________.

subclavian vein, brachiocephalic

The next branch from the abdominal aorta is the ___________________________. This artery serves most of the small intestine and part of the large intestine

superior mesenteric artery

1. The brachiocephalic veins unite to form the ___________________________.

superior vena cava

Splenic artery

supplies the spleen

1. . What is the name for the aorta when it is located above the diaphragm? ______________________ The aorta is then called the __________________ aorta below the level of the diaphragm.

thoracic aorta, abdominal

1. Return to the anterior view and in the systems tray, select the lymphatic system to add in the lymphatics. Zoom in to the inferior portion of the left internal jugular vein. The _____________ duct empties here and drains lymph from the ____________________.

thoracic, entire body except the right arm and right side of head and right thorax
