Document Summary
Acb lecture 34 (12) systemic circulation continued: major arteries and veins. Esophageal branches (usually 2 or 3) provide blood supply to esophagus. Saving the best parts for last: branches of the celiac trunk which supply the liver, stomach and spleen will be discussed within the context of the digestive system (fig. Can be very serious if it gets very big and wall gets thin, can burst and cause lethal bleeding. Are conceptually similar to the arteries of the upper limb. Abdominal aorta bifurcates into common iliac arteries, which bifurcate into external & internal iliac arteries. As femoral artery is just formed right within the groin region, right as it travels under the inguinal canal, can take a pulse. Major veins of the systemic circulation jor veins of the systemic circulation. Subclavian vein will receive contribution from the cephalic vein. Basilic vein: cephalic, median cubital, & basilic veins drain into the deeper veins: cephalic and axillary (?)
