Define ipsilateral

Answer 7

Structures on same sides

Question 8

Define contralateral

Answer 8

Structures on opposite sides of the body

Question 9

Name (4) planes of the body

Answer 9

Sagittal (para: unequal, mid: equal)

Coronal (frontal: ant/post)

Transverse: (axial: sup/inferior)

Oblique: divide body at an angle

Question 10

What is the circulatory system?

Answer 10

Delivers oxygenated and nutrients to all cells.

Removes carbon dioxide and waste products

Question 11

Name the chambers of the heart.

Answer 11

Right and left atrium

Right and left ventricle

Question 12

Explain pulse and blood pressure measurement

Answer 12

Systole: Heart contracts 60-120 x’s/minute

Diastole: relaxing/filling of heart

Blood pressure: 120 mm/80 hg
Systolic=mm
Dialostic=HG

Question 13

What side of heart pumps O2 and where?

Answer 13

Left side of heart pumps O2 blood thru aorta to entire blood via arteries

Question 14

Define arteries.

Answer 14

Blood vessels that carry O2 blood away front the heart. *exception is pulmanated artery.

Question 15

Define pulmanated artery.

Answer 15

Only artery to not carry O2 blood away from heart. Instead carries de-oxygenated blood to lungs from RIGHT side of heart.

Question 16

Breakdown artery size names.

Answer 16

Arteries - arterioles - capillaries

Question 17

Describe 3 layers of artery wall.

Answer 17

1- outer layer is loose fibrous connective tissue

2- muscular middle layer

3- smooth epithelial layer

Question 18

Define capillaries.

Answer 18

Smallest blood vessels and connect VENULES AND ARTERIOLES.

Also O2, CO2, nutrients and waste exchange here

Question 19

Define veins.

Answer 19

Capillaries widen to become venules- then widen to be veins. This is after the are perfumed w oxygen.

Bring deoxygenated blood to RIGHT side of heart. Except pulmonary vein- which brings de-O2 blood from lungs to left side of heart.

Question 20

Describe physical description of veins.

Answer 20

Thin and will collapse. Have one-way valve.

Question 21

Vein fun facts

Answer 21

All go to superior vena cava or inferior vena cava

Question 22

Which veins have corresponding arteries?

Answer 22

Deep veins have corresponding arteries. Superficial DO NOT.

Question 23

Which ventricle pumps O2 blood thru aorta?

Answer 23

LEFT. the left ventricle pumps O2 blood thru the aorta

Question 24

Define arteries.

Answer 24

Deliver blood to tissue and cells

Question 25

Define Venous System.

Answer 25

DeO2 blood brought to right side of heart to lungs to get oxygenated again and re-start process.

Question 26

Aorta. Define and describe 5 parts.

Answer 26

``` Largest Artery. 1- ascending (heart/arch) 2- aorta arch 3- descending (distal L from subclavian artery) 4- thoracic (descend above diaphram) 5- abdominal (descend below diaphram) ```

Question 27

Name 3 arteries that branch from aortic arch.

Answer 27

Brachiocephic (Innominate artery) FIRST BRANCH OFF ARCH Left Common Corotad Artery Left Subclavian Artery

Question 28

What does the brachiocephic artery branch into?

Answer 28

Right Common Carotid Artery Right Subclavian Artery

Question 29

What supplies the neck and right arm?

Answer 29

RIGHT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY

Question 30

Describe path of RIGHT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY

Answer 30

Divided into: Right Vertebral Artery (post cerebral circulatory) also- first branch Axillary Artery ➡️ brachial ➡️ R radial & R ulnar

Question 31

What feeds: Shoulders

Answer 31

Axillary

Question 32

What feeds: ARMS

Answer 32

Brachial

Question 33

What feeds: Arm & hand

Answer 33

Right radial and right ulnar arteries

Question 34

Describe path of RIGHT COMMON CAROTID ARTERY

Answer 34

Divided into: R External Carotid Artery (head,neck and face) R Internal Carotid Artery (brain)

Question 35

Describe left common carotid artery

Answer 35

2nd branch off aorta. Divided into: - L external carotid artery (head, face, neck) - L internal carotid artery (brain)

Question 36

Describe path of LEFT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY

Answer 36

3rd branch off aorta Divided into: - Left Vertebral Artery (post cerebral circulation) -L axillary art (shoulder/arm)➡️brachial artery, which splits into radial & ulnar (arm & hand)

Question 37

List 3 major vascular systems

Answer 37

Cerebral Visceral Peripheral

Question 38

Name types of peripheral veins

Answer 38

Superficial: close to surface. No corresponding arteries Deep: GSV, LSV, perforating veins connect lesser and greater veins.

Question 39

Where does GSV (great Saphenous vein begin and end?

Answer 39

Begins at foot on medial side of leg and drains into the femoral vein at groin.

Question 40

Describe LSV (less Saphenous vein) path.

Starts at back of leg and ends in popatiel vein

Question 41

Explain peripheral drainage.
