| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| Site where blood pressure is lowest and blood volume is the greatest. | Large Veins |
| Site where exchanges of food and gases are made and velocity of blood flow is the slowest. | Capillaries |
| Site where resistance to blood flow is the greatest and major determinant of peripheral resistance. | Arterioles |
| Largest artery of the body.. | Aorta |
| Runs through the armpit. | Axillary Artery |
| Artery usually palpates to take blood pressure. | Brachial Artery |
| Gives rise to the right common carotid and right subclavian artery. | Brachiocephalic trunk |

| Drains the upper extremities, deep vein. | Subclavian Vein |
| Supplies the small intestines | Superior Mesenteric Artery |
| Receives blood from all areas superior to the diaphragm, except the heart wall. | Superior Vena Cava |
