blood vessels
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| dorsal aorta | transport oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body in vertebrates. artery |
| coronary artery | to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle itself, providing the continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients it needs to contract and pump blood throughout the body |
| brachiocephalic artery | supplies oxygenated blood to the head, neck, and right arm. only one in cats |
| subclavian | supply blood to the neck, thoracic wall, and forelimb |
| thyrocervical artery | provides oxygen rich blood to the thyroid gland and neck muscles. also shoulder and back |
| auxiliary | main arterial supply for forelimbs, carrying oxygen rich blood to the muscles and tissues of the shoulder, chest wall, and rest of limb |
| sub scapular artery | provide a major blood supply to muscles of the shoulder, upper limb, and thoracic wall |
| brachial artery | supply oxygenated blood to the upper arm and forelimb |
| Celiac trunk | supply oxygenated blood to the foregut organs in cats, stomach, liver, pancreas. supplies blood to digestive organs . artery |
| anterior mesenteric artery | supplies the small intestine and part of the large intestine. Its primary function is to deliver oxygenated blood to these organs for them to function. delivers oxygenated blood to digestive organs |
| adrenolubar artery | supply adrenal glands with oxygenated blood |
| renal artery | deliver oxygenated blood from the aorta to the kidneys, |
| lumbar arteries | supply blood to the abdominal wall muscles, skin, lumbar vertebrae, spinal cord |
| iliolumbar artery | supplies blood to the posterior abdominal wall, pelvic muscles, and the pelvic bone |
| external iliac artery | the main conduit for blood supply to the lower limb |
| femoral artery | supply oxygenated blood to the pelvic/hind limbs, specifically the muscles, and structures of the thigh, knee, paw |
| caudal artery | supplies blood to the tail |
| internal iliac artery | supplies blood to pelvic organs, pelvic walls, reproductive organs, muscles of hip and thigh, bladder |
| anterior vena cava | collects deoxygenated blood from the head, neck, thoracic limbs (front legs), and cranial (upper) thoracic wall and delivers it to the right atrium of the heart. |
| coronary vein | to drain deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle (myocardium) and return it to the right atrium |
| azygous vein | drain deoxygenated blood from the posterior walls of the thorax and abdomen, |
| sternal vein | These vessels have the essential function of draining deoxygenated blood from the chest wall, sternum, and surrounding structures back to the heart. |
| brachiocephalic veins | to return deoxygenated blood from the head, neck, and forelimbs to the heart. |
| external jugular vein | drain deoxygenated blood from the superficial structures of the head and neck, such as the face, ears, and scalp, returning it to the heart. It |
| sub scapular vein | to drain deoxygenated blood from the muscles and tissues in the subscapular region (shoulder area) and transport it back to the heart's general circulation via the axillary vein. |
| axillary vein | to drain deoxygenated blood from the front limb, chest wall, and shoulder region and return it to the heart. |
| brachial vein | a major pathway for returning deoxygenated blood from the upper arm back to the heart. |
| posterior vena cava | collect deoxygenated blood from the lower part of the body and returning it to the hearts right atrium |
| hepatic vein | to carry processed, oxygen-poor blood away from the liver and return it to the heart. |
| hepatic portal vein | transport blood from the stomach, intestines, spleen, and pancreas directly to the liver. This allows the liver |
| adrenolumbar vein | to drain the adrenal gland, carrying catecholamines (like epinephrine and norepinephrine), hormones, and other substances secreted by the adrenal medulla into the general circulation. It |
| renal vein | to carry filtered blood, which has been processed by the kidney, away from the organ and back to the heart via the caudal vena cava. |
| lumbar vein | draining deoxygenated blood from the dorsal body wall, which includes the muscles, vertebrae, and spinal cord of the lumbar region |
| iliolumbar vein | drain deoxygenated blood from the structures of the iliac fossa, the iliacus and psoas muscles, and the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebral segments |
| common iliac vein | return deoxygenated blood from the pelvic limbs and pelvic cavity to the caudal vena cava |
| external iliac vein | drain deoxygenated blood from the pelvic limb, the anterior abdominal wall, and the pubic region, returning it to the heart via the common iliac vein. |
| femoral vein | return deoxygenated blood from the lower leg back to the heart |
| internal iliac vein | drain deoxygenated blood from the pelvic organs, pelvic wall, perineum, and buttocks, returning it to the heart via the caudal vena cava |
| caudal vein | collecting deoxygenated blood from the lower (caudal) part of the body (hind limbs, abdomen, pelvis, and tail |
