femoral artery supplies blood to the upper leg
common iliac artery supplies blood to the pelvis and lower limbs
popliteal artery supplies blood to the knee and leg
dorsalis pedis supplies blood to the ankle and top of the foot
subclavian vein drains deoxygenated blood from upper limbs, head, neck and parts of thoracic wall and returns it to the heart
brachial vein drains blood from muscles and deep structures of the upper arm and carry it to form the axillary vein
radial vein drains blood from the lower arm and hands
axillary vein drains blood from the upper limbs, axillaries (armpits), and lateral thoracic wall delivering it into the subclavian vein
innominate vein drains the head, neck, upper limbs, upper thorax into the superior vena cava also called brachiocephalic vein
jugular vein drains blood from the face, brain, and neck and return it to the heart through the superior vena cava
greater saphenous vein drains superficial tissues of the foot, leg, and thigh and empties into the femoral vein
lesser saphenous vein drains lateral foot, lateral ankle, and posterior lower leg, empties into the popliteal vein
common iliac vein drains blood from the pelvis and lower limbs delivering it to the heart through the inferior vena cava
anterior tibial vein drains blood from the top of the foot, ankle joint, and front of the lower leg

T lymphocytes a variety of further differentiated lymphocytes that are activated against certain types of pathogens
spleen responsible for breaking down red blood cells, storing blood, and producing lymphocytes and plasma cells
right lymphatic duct empties lymph from the right side of the upper body into the right subclavian vein, which drains into the superior vena cava
