Chapter 19 - The cardiovascular system: Blood vessels (part c). After completing this unit, you should be able to: Trace the pathway of blood through the pulmonary circuit, and state the importance of this special circulation; describe the general functions of the systemic circuit; name and give the location of the major arteries and veins in the systemic circulation;. | 19 The Cardiovascular System: Blood Vessels: Part C Figure R. external carotid artery R. internal carotid artery R. common carotid – right side of head and neck L. external carotid artery L. internal carotid artery L. common carotid – left side of head and neck R. vertebral L. vertebral R. axillary Arteries of R. upper limb Mediastinal – posterior media- stinum Esophageal – esophagus Pericardial – pericardium Bronchial – lungs and bronchi Gonadal – testes or ovaries Suprarenal – adrenal glands and Renal – kidneys Celiac trunk – liver – gallbladder – spleen – stomach – esophagus – duodenum Superior and inferior mesenterics – small intestine – colon Brachiocephalic – head, neck, and R. upper limb Posterior intercostals – intercostal muscles, spinal cord, vertebrae, pleurae, skin Inferior phrenics – inferior diaphragm Lumbars – posterior abdominal wall Median sacral – sacrum – coccyx Superior phrenics – posterior and superior diaphragm R. subclavian – neck and R. upper limb L. and R. coronary arteries L. subclavian – neck and L. upper limb L. ventricle of heart Thoracic aorta T5 – T12 (diaphragm) Abdominal aorta T12 (diaphragm) – L4 Ascending aorta – L. ventricle to sternal angle L. axillary R. common iliac – pelvis and R. lower limb Arteries of R. lower limb (a) Schematic flowchart L. common iliac – pelvis and L. lower limb Arteries of L. lower limb Arteries of L. upper limb Diaphragm Visceral branches Parietal branches Visceral branches Parietal branches Aortic arch Figure Internal carotid artery Common carotid arteries Subclavian artery Subclavian artery Aortic arch Ascending aorta Coronary artery Thoracic aorta (above diaphragm) Renal artery Superficial palmar arch Radial artery Ulnar artery Internal iliac artery Deep palmar arch Vertebral artery Brachiocephalic trunk Axillary artery Brachial artery Abdominal aorta Superior mesenteric artery Gonadal artery Common iliac artery External iliac artery Digital arteries Femoral artery Popliteal artery . | 19 The Cardiovascular System: Blood Vessels: Part C Figure R. external carotid artery R. internal carotid artery R. common carotid – right side of head and neck L. external carotid artery L. internal carotid artery L. common carotid – left side of head and neck R. vertebral L. vertebral R. axillary Arteries of R. upper limb Mediastinal – posterior media- stinum Esophageal – esophagus Pericardial – pericardium Bronchial – lungs and bronchi Gonadal – testes or ovaries Suprarenal – adrenal glands and Renal – kidneys Celiac trunk – liver – gallbladder – spleen – stomach – esophagus – duodenum Superior and inferior mesenterics – small intestine – colon Brachiocephalic – head, neck, and R. upper limb Posterior intercostals – intercostal muscles, spinal cord, vertebrae, pleurae, skin Inferior phrenics – inferior diaphragm Lumbars – posterior abdominal wall Median sacral – sacrum – coccyx Superior phrenics – posterior and superior diaphragm R. subclavian – neck and R. upper limb L. and
