• Ascending – coronary arteries• Arch – brachiocephalic, L common carotid, L subclavian

• Descending - thoracic & abdominal

Coronary Arteries

b. Brachiocephalic (Innominate)– arm/head; rt side onlyc. R/L Common Carotid – to headd. External Carotid – neck/facee. Internal Carotid – brain w/carotid baroreceptors-BPf. Subclavian – along clavicle to shoulder

g. Axillary – armpit (axilla)h. Brachial – arm to elbowi. Radial – thumb side

(common pulse point)j. Ulnar - pinkie

r. Celiac – 1st branch of abdominal aorta (stomach, spleen, liver)

s. Renal – kidneys

t. Superior Mesenteric – upper GI (SI/upper colon)u. Testicular/Ovarian – to reproductive organsv. Inferior Mesenteric – lower GI (LI/rest of colon)

w. Common Iliac – lower back (5th lumbar)

x. Internal Iliac – pelvic areay. External Iliac – lower limbsz. Femoral – thigh 1. Popliteal - knee

10.Pulmonary Trunk/Arteries – lungs

• Plate 65 Veinse. Radialf. Ulnar g. Brachial h. Axillary

i. Subclavian j. Brachiocephalic – right and leftk. Superior Vena Cava

l. External Jugular – superficial ; drains head/neckm. Internal Jugular (larger/deep: brain/face) w/subclavian

forms Brachiocephalic

q. Inferior Mesenteric – lower GI to splenic then portalr. Superior Mesenteric – upper GI to portal veins. Splenic – spleen to portal veint. Gastric – stomach to portal

u. Hepatic Portal – all lower vessels to liver (filters nutrients/toxins)

x. Great Saphenous – inside upper leg (superficial); used for heart bypass surgery

4. Popliteal – knee to femoral5. Femoral – deep to iliac

Poplitealvein

6. External Iliac – outer pelvis7. Internal Iliac – inner pelvis8. Common Iliac – to IVC9. Inferior Vena Cava – along

spine to heart

10. Renal – kidneys to IVC11. Testicular/Ovarian – genitals to IVC/renal12. Hepatic – liver to IVC

13. Pulmonary – from lungs only vein w/hi O2 levels
