🗑
consists of inferior and superior mesenteric vessels. they transport the blood from the inestines to the portal veins   mesenteric  
🗑
the aorta ends by dividing into two common arteries. each divides into an internal artery that supplies the pelvic cavity and an external artery that supplies the lower extermity   Iliac arteries  
🗑
provide blood to the head and brain   Jular veins AND Carotid Artery  
🗑
the most important artery of the human body, it brings oxygenated blood to the body's organsa and tissue   Aorta  
🗑
the arteriesbring blood to the lungs, The veins bring the oxygenated blood back to the heart   Pulmonary Artery and Pulmonary Vein

🗑
they provide blood to the kidneys   Renal veins and arteries  
🗑
consists of superior and inferior arteries that supply parts of the digestive system   Mesenteric Arteries

🗑
the heart doesn't maintain adequate circulation of the blood   congestive heart failure (CHF)  
🗑
