Pulmonary Circulation
Fetal Circulation
misc facts
Blood vessels are usually named for location or the organs they serve
E.g.
—> “subclavian” or “renal”
Arteries & veins of the same area usually share the same name
If a vessel’s name includes an adjective describing an anatomical direction, there is usually a nearby vessel with the opposite adjective.
E.g.
—> Hence, if there is an external iliac artery, there will be an internal iliac artery and both an inferior and superior vena cava.
“Common” means it will further split into “Internal”& “External”
Right and Left are usually the same except for around the heart
Remember to always use LEFT and RIGHT and ARTERY or VEIN when naming
ascending aorta gives rise to
—> Right coronary artery
Marginal branch
Posterior Interventricular a.
—> Left coronary artery
Circumflex branch
Anterior interventricular a.
aortic arch gives rise to
Brachiocephalic trunk —> R common carotid a.
+
L subclavian a.
+
L common carotid a.
Brachiocephalic turnk gives rise to
R common carotid a.
R subclavian a.
—> R vertebral a.
Left subclavian artery gives rise to
L Vertebral a.
—> Basilar a.
—> Posterior Cerebral aa.
common carotid becomes
internal/external carotid
external carotid becomes
Facial aa.
Occipital aa.
Superficial temporal aa.
Maxillary aa.
internal carotid becomes
anterior & middle cerebral arteries
(w/ anterior and posterior communicating arteries)
where does posterior cerebral artery come from?
from vertebral arteries
which come from SUBCLAVIAN ARTERIES
I.e.
Anterior/middle cerebral comes from
—> INTERNAL CAROTID
which comes from
—> aortic arch / brachiocephalic trunk
UPPER EXTREMITY
..
axillary also gives rise to
internal thoracic aa
axillary to
lateral thoracic aa
anteior/posterior humeral circumflex aa
subscapular aa
—> (which goes to thoracodorsal aa,
and cflx scapular aa)
suprascapular aa (fyi)
from subclavian aa
dorsal scapular aa (fyi)
from subclavian aa
first and second posterior intercostal aa
from supreme intercostal aa (from costocervical trunk)
—> from SUBCLAVIAN AA
where does axillary aa become brachial aa
teres major
ulnar aa to
anterior/posterior interosseous aa (via common interosseous aa)
hand?
deep palmar arch
superficial palmar arch
deep palmar arch to
palmar MC aa
superficial palmar arch to
common palmar digital aa
proper palmar digital aa
thoracic aorta
parietal branches
visceral branches
parietal branches of thoracic aorta
Posterior intercostal aa.
Subcostal aa.
Superior phrenic aa.
visceral branches of thoracic aorta
Mediastinal aa.
Pericardial aa.
Esophageal aa.
Bronchial aa.
