Name all the arteries that arise from the arch of the aorta and the major areas of the body supplied by each artery. |
1) Brachiocephalic artery: supplies right side of head, neck and arm 2) carotid artery: supplies left side of head and neck 3) subclavian artery: supplies left side of neck and arm |

Describe the origin of the Brachiocephalic trunk/artery |
Right hand artery arising from the arch of the aorta |
|
|
Name two blood vessels that arise from the Brachiocephalic artery. |
1) Right subclavian artery 2) Right common carotid artery |

How many corresponding Brachiocephalic veins are there in the body? |
Two- the right and left |
|
|
Discuss the course of an embolus (beginning at the right femoral vein) as it circulates freely in the blood stream until it gets lodged. |
1) right femoral vein 2) external iliac vein 3) common iliac vein 4) inferior vena cava 5) right atria and ventricle 6) pulmonary trunk 7) pulmonary artery 8) great veins 9) small veins 10) venules 11) capillaries |

|
|
Name all the blood vessels that form the hepatic portal vein and the areas they drain. |
- External mesenteric vein: drains entire small intestine, parts of the large intestine and stomach - splenic vein: drains spleen and pars of the stomach and pancreas - internal mesenteric vein: drains distal portion of large intestine and rectum |

|
|
Describe the importance of the hepatic portal vein. |
Carries nutrient rich blood from the digestive organs to the liver where it can then be processed or "treated" before reaching the rest of the body |
|
|
What is the function of the coronary sinus? |
To collect blood with wastes from the myocardium and return it to normal circulation |
|

|
|
What is the foramen ovale? |
A small hole located in the septum between the right and left atrial chambers. It is used during foetal circulation to speed up blood flow through the heart |
|
|
What might an embolus cause? |
- Usually not harmful unless encountering a blood vessel too narrow to pass through - In this case, the embolus would block circulation to cells beyond the occlusion, leading to death of those tissues. |
|
|
What is the importance of coronary circulation? |
Delivers 1/20 of the body's supply to the heart muscle itself. |
