Aorta :4 Principle Divisions
•
Ascending aorta
-comes Hot left ventricle
-Rtl coronary arteries :supply blood to The myocardium
•
Arch of aorta

arches over the bifurcation of the pulmonary trunk

Abdominal aorta :portion of descending aorta thats below the diaphragm
Abdominal +pelvic viscera lower extremities
Abdominal Aorta Branches
•Unpaired arteries which supply the Gltraot Celiac Artery
•
Paired arteries are on both sides
Liver

Superior mesenteric
suprarenal
supplies pancreas,

Abdomen ,pelvis ,and lower limbs
Abdominal and Pelvic veins
Liver
Hepatic Portal system
•
portal vein :avein that can allow blood to transport from
one capillary network to another
•
Venous blood from Gl organs and spleen go to the liver to
be processed before going to the inferior vena cava and then
the heart

Document Summary
Rtl coronary arteries supply blood to the myocardium. Arch of aorta arches over the bifurcation of the pulmonary trunk. : portion of descending aorta thats above the diaphragm. + pelvic portion of descending aorta lower viscera thats below the diaphragm extremities. Superior mesenteric supplies pancreas , small intestine and part of large. Inferior mesenteric supplies the rest of the large intestine. Gonads start in abdominal cavity but descend towards reproductive organs. Head neck , chest t upper limbs coronary sinus. Great cardiac vein middle cardiac vein , small cardiac vein. Hepatic portal system portal vein : a vein that can allow blood to transport from one capillary network to another. Venous blood from gl organs and spleen go to the liver to be processed before going to the inferior vena cava and then the heart. Connect arterial system with venous system blood away from the heart. Capillaries : site of gas exchange , nutrient exchange + waste removal.
