Sits beneath the inferior mesenteric artery along the descending aorta on the anatomical right of the cat. Accross from the gonadal artery which sits on the annatomical left.

Front 21

External Iliac Arteries

Back 21

Front 22

Internal Iliac Arteries

Back 22

Left and right banches off of the middle branch of the descending aorta where it branches at the apex of the legs. The actual middle branch is the mediac sacral artery which goes into the tail.

Front 23

Femoral Arteries

Back 23

Lead into the thighs following the external iliac arteries.

Front 24

Precava

Front 25

Left and Right Bracheocheplaic Veins

Back 25

Large veins that join together and bring blood from the arms into the superior vena cava and then into the right atrium.

Front 26

External Jugular Veins

Back 26

The larger of the jugular veins. Located in the neck anteriorly to the internal jugular veins and bring deoxygenated blood from the neck into the left and right bracheochepalic arteries.

Front 27

Internal Jugular Veins

Back 27

The smaller of the jugular veins in the neck located posteriorly to the external jugular veins. Bring blood from the head and empty into the external jugular veins.

Front 28

Subvlaivan Vein

Back 28

Located right after the annatomical left bracheocephalic vein and brings blood from the arm towards the heart.

Front 29

Hepatic Veins

Back 29

On the left and right of the inferior vena cava underneath the phreniv veins under the diapram.

Front 30

Adrenolumbar Veins
