card image

In humans, the left common carotid artery & left subclavian artery are direct braches off aortic arch

16

gives off branches to neck muscles, thyroid gland, and trachea

branches to form external/internal carotid arteries

card image

branches to the costal and cervical regions

20

branches to the shoulder

21

internal thoracic (mammary) artery

card image

serving the ventral thoracic artery

22

axillary artery

card image

when subclavian passes in front of first rib, it becomes this artery. Branches of this artery include: ventral thoracic artery, long thoracic artery, and subscapular artery which supply the trunk and shoulder muscles

23

ventral thoracic artery

card image

to the pectoral muscles

24

long thoracic artery

card image

to pectoral muscles and latissimus dorsi

25

subscapular artery

card image

to trunk muscles

26

brachial artery

card image

as axillary artery enters the arm, it becomes this artery which branches at the elbow to produce the radial and ulnar arteries

27

radial and ulnar arteries

card image

serve the forearm and hand

28

celiac trunk

card image

supplies the stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and the spleen

29

superior mesenteric artery

card image

immediately posterior to celiac trunk

supplies the small intestine and most of large intestine

30

adrenolumnar arteries

card image

paired arteries diverging from aorta slightly posterior to superior mesenteric artery

supply the muscles of the body wall and adrenal glands

31

renal arteries

card image

paired arteries supplying kidneys

32

gonadal arteries

card image

ovarian or testicular arteries that supply gonads

33

inferior mesenteric artery

card image

unpaired; thin vessel arising from ventral surface of aorta posterior to the gonadal arteries

supplies the second half of large intestines

34

iliolumbar arteries

card image

paired, rather large arteries that supply the body musculature in iliolumbar region

35

external iliac arteries

card image

paired arteries which continue through the body wall & pass under the inguinal ligament to hindlimb

36

internal iliac arteries

card image

two arteries which supply the pelvic viscera

37

Difference between iliac arteries in cat and humans

card image

there is NO COMMON ILIAC ARTERY in cat

38

median sacral artery

card image

descending abdominal aorta divides into the two internal iliac arteries and ___________

39

caudal artery

card image

as median sacral artery enters tail, it becomes this artery

40

femoral artery

card image

courses through thigh and gives off branches to thigh muscles

41

saphenous artery

card image

branches off femoral artery to supply medial portion of the leg

42

popliteal artery

card image

descends deep to knee to become this artery which gives off two branches:

sural artery and posterior tibial artery

43

sural, posterior tibial, and anterior tibial arteries

card image

supply the leg and foot

44

Aygos vein

card image

passing directly into tits dorsal surface

drains the thoracic intercostal muscles

45

internal thoracic (mammary) vein

card image

drains chest and abdominal wall

46

right vertebral vein

card image

drains spinal cord and brain

47

right and left brachiocephalic veins

card image

form the precava by their union

48

Difference in formation of brachiocephalic veins in humans and cats

Humans: brachiocephalic vein is formed by union of internal jugular vein and subclavian veins

Cats: formed by union of external jugular vein and subclavian veins

49

external jugular vein

card image

courses anteriorly along side of neck to point where its joined on medial surface by internal jugular vein

50

Difference in cat & human jugular veins

Human: internal jugular vein is considerably larger & drains into subclavian vein

Cat: External jugular vein is larger & internal jugular vein drains into it

51

subclavian vein

card image

moves laterally toward the arm; becomes axillary vein

52

axillary vein

card image

becomes this vein as it passes in front of first rib and runs through brachial plexus giving off subscapular vein

53

subscapular vein

card image
