Pulmonary
Refers to circulation thats carryings oxygen poor blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
Cornonary Arteries
Blood vessels that supply blood carrying oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium of the heart.
Pulmonary Vein
The vein that carries blood from the lungs to the heart. It is the only vein that carries oxygenated blood.
Hepatic Vein
The vein that carries blood away (drains) from the liver.
Carotid Artery
Refering to the common carotid artery supplies blood to the head and face.
Pulmonary Artery
The blood vessel that carries blood from the from the right ventricle to the lungs. It is the only artery that carries deoxygenated blood.
Cappillaries
The smallests (microscopic) of blood vessels (one cell layer thick) that are the site of gas, nutirent, and waste exchange between cells and the blood. They also connect arterioles to venules.
Internal Carotid Artery
Artery that supplies blood to the brain.
Inferior Vena Cava
Carries (drains) blood from the lower limbs of the body and empties in the right artium.
Vertebral Artery
Supplies blood to the spinal column and brain.
Great Saphenous Vein
The longest vein in the body. Sometimes used in bypass surgery.
Venules
The smallest of veins that receive blood from capillaries.
Right Atrium
Receives deoxygenated blood from the body via the superior and inferior vena cava.
Brachiocephalic
Artery or vein that services right arm, head, and shoulder.
Left Ventricle
Chamber that pumps oxygenated blood out to the body.
Veins
Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart. Veins also have valves to prevent back flow.
Arterioles
Blood vessels that are smaller branches off of arteries.
External Iliac
Artery or vein that services the groin and lower leg.
Systemic
Refers to circulation that carries oxygen rich blood from the left ventricle to the body.
Portal System
System of veins that carry blood from the abdominal organs to the liver.
Subclavian Artery
Both a left and right, blood vessels that supply blood to the shoulders and upper limbs.
Left Atrium
Chamber that receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins and pumps it into systemic circulation.
Superior Vena Cava
Carries (drains) blood from the head, neck, and upper limbs and empties in the right atrium.
Mesenteric arteries
originate on the aorta; superior under renal artery,
inferior under gonadal artery
