|
carries blood in arteries from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart
|
|
|
What is the systemic circuit?
|
carries oxygenated blood in arteries from the heart to all parts of the body and back to the heart
|
|
|
What is the pericardial sac?
|
A membrane that surrounds the heart
|
|
|
What does the right atrium do?
|
receives deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior vena cava, and pumps it into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve.
|
|
|
What does the right ventricle do?
|
receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium via the tricuspid valve, and pumps it into the pulmonary artery via the pulmonary trunk
|
|
|
Describe the pulmonary circuit.
|
the right ventricle pumps blood into the lungs via the pulmonary arteries. Oxygen-rich blood travels via pulmonary veins to the left atrium
|
|
|
Where are the anterior and superior vena cava located?
|
entering the right atrium
|
|
|
Where is the pulmonary trunk located?
|
leaving the right ventricle
|
|
|
Where is the aortic arch located?
|
leaving the left ventricle
|
|
|
Where are the coronary artery and vein located?
|
between the ventricles; move blood through the heart
|
|
|
brachiocephalic artery
Where is it? What does it do? |
branches off the aortic arch
supplies blood to the right arm, head and neck |
|
|
subclavian arteries
|
serve the forelimbs
branch into common carotids |
|
|
internal and external jugular veins
|
drain blood from the head region
|
|
|
What veins fuse to form the superior vena cava?
|
subclavian and brachiocephalic
|
|
|
What is the dorsal aorta?
|
aortic arch runs along the backbone
|
|
|
celiac artery
|
leaves the aorta and takes blood to the stomach, liver and spleen
|
|
|
anterior mesenteric artery
|
branches from the dorsal aorta and supplies blood to the pancreas and small intestine
|
|
|
renal arteries
|
carry blood to the kidneys
|
|
|
genital arteries
|
branch from the aorta to the reproductive organs
|
|
|
iliacs
|
branch from the aorta to the hind legs
|
|
|
femoral arteries
|
as the iliacs spread deeper into the hind legs, they branch into femoral arteries
|
|
|
umbilical arteries
|
connect the umbilical cord and iliac arteries
|
|
|
Posterior vena cava is also known as what?
|
inferior
|
|
|
iliac veins
|
drain blood from hind legs
|
|
|
genital veins
|
drain blood from genital organs
|
|
|
blood filtered by the kidneys is returned to the heart by
|
the renal vein
|
|
|
the mesenteric vein and the gastric vein fuse to the form
|
the hepatic portal vein
|
|
|
blood leaves the liver through the
|
hepatic vein
|
|
|
the umbilical vein passes between what?
|
the umbilical cord and the liver
|
