Phrenic Nerves
|
(to fill)
|
|
Vagus Nerves
|
Along the common coratic arteries in the neck.
|
|
Aorta
|
Right above the heart.
|
|
Superior Vena Cava
|
Vein that brings deoxygenated blood into the right atrium from areas of the body above the heart.
|
|
Inferior Vena Cava
|
Vein that brings deoxygenated blood from the lower portion of the body into the right atrium.
|
|
Pulmonary Trunk
|
Large vessel that brings deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lunges via the pulmonary veins.
|
|
Pulmonary Veins
|
Split off from the pulmonary trunk and bring deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
|
|
Pulmonary Arteries
|
Bring oxygenated blood from the lungs back into the left atrium.
|
|
Ascending Aorta
|
The first part of the aorta. It begins at the left ventricle and leads into the beginning of the aortic arch.
|
|
Bracheocehpalic Artery
|
The first vein to branch off of the top of the aortic arch. Later splits into the common coratid arteries and the right subclavian artery.
|
|
Left Subclavian Artery
|
The second branch off of the aortic arch. Leads into the brachial artery.
|
|
Right Subclavian Artery
|
Is the third branch of the bracheospephalic artery and leads into the arm of the cat.
|
|
Descending Aorta
|
Major artery which brings blood to the lower portions of the body below the heart. Becomes the descending thoracic aorta and later the descending abdominal aorta.
|
|
Celiac Trunk
|
Under the diaphram it is the first branch off of the descending abdominal aorta in the front.
|
|
Superior Mesenteric Artery
|
under the diaphram is the second branch off of the descending thoracic artery in the front, underneath the celiac trunk.
|
|
Inferior Mesynteric Artery
|
Under the diaphram is the third branch off of the descending thoracic aorta in the front. Is directly under the superior mesenteric artery.
|
|
Adrenolumnar Arteries
|
Are located to the left and right of the superior mesenteric artery and bring blood to the adrenal glands that sit on top of the kidneys.
|
|
Renal Arteries
|
Arteries which branch off of the descending thoracic aorta and bring blood to the kidneys. O the left and right they are between the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries (along the decending aorta).
|
|
Gonadal Artery
|
Sits beneath the inferior mesenteric artery on the annatomical left of the cat and brings blood to either the testes or the ovaries. Accross from the illiolumbar artery which is on the right.
|
|
Illiolumbar Artery
|
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.
|
|
External Iliac Arteries
|
Left and right branches of the descending aorta at the apex of the legs. Further down leads into the femoral artery.
|
|
Internal Iliac Arteries
|
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.
|
|
Femoral Arteries
|
Lead into the thighs following the external iliac arteries.
|
|
Precava
|
The superior vena cava. A vein that brings deoxygenated blood from then head and arms into the right atrium.
|
|
Left and Right Bracheocheplaic Veins
|
Large veins that join together and bring blood from the arms into the superior vena cava and then into the right atrium.
|
|
External Jugular Veins
|
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.
|
|
Internal Jugular Veins
|
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.
|
|
Subvlaivan Vein
|
Located right after the annatomical left bracheocephalic vein and brings blood from the arm towards the heart.
|
|
Hepatic Veins
|
On the left and right of the inferior vena cava underneath the phreniv veins under the diapram.
|
|
Adrenolumbar Veins
|
Bring blood from the adrenal glands to the inferior vena cava.
|
|
Renal Veins
|
Bring blood from the kidneys to the inferior vena cava.
|
|
Gonadal Veins
|
Veins that bring blood to the testes or ovaries. One is the sevvond one underneath the anatomical right renal vein and the other slits off of the anatomical left renal vein.
|
|
Iliolumbar Veins
|
Last veins off of the inferior vena fava before it splits into the common illiac veins which lead into the legs.
|
|
Common Iliac Veins
|
Veins that join to together at the apex of the legs to form the inferior vena cava. The third and middle branch is the middle sacral branch and leads into the tail.
|
|
External Iliac Veins
|
Veins which brings blood from the lef to the common iliac veins.
|
|
Internal Iliac Veins
|
