arteries
carry blood away from the heart; thick round and red
capillaries
these are thin walled tissues which is the site of water, gas, nutrient, and waste exchange between blood and interstitial fluid
veins
return blood to the heart; drain capillaries; thin flat and blue
lymphatic vessels
returns surplus interstitial fluid and small protein that escape capillaries to larger veins
lymph nodes
site of lymphocyte production and storage
closed circulatory system
this allows for higher blood pressue, more rapid distribution of materials, and control over the amount of blood going to different regions of the body
right atrium
receives oxygen depleted blood and carbon dioxide enriched blood from most of the body
cranial vena cava
drains head neck and arms and returns blood to the right atrium
caudal vena cava
drains the caudal parts and inner organs of the body and returns blood to the right atrium
path of deoxgenated blood to the caudal vena cava
hepatic portal vein... hepatic sinusoids (in liver)...hepatic veins...caudal vena cava
tricuspid
a three flapped valve between the right atrium and right ventricle
bicuspid
a two flapped valve between the left atrium and left ventricle
left atrioventricular valve
tricuspid
right atrioventricular valve
bicuspid
right ventricle
receives blood from the right atrium; this then pumps blood to the lungs
left ventricle
receives blood from the left atrium; pumps to the aorta
pulmonary trunk
leaves the right ventricle which then branches into the pulmonary arteries and gets pumped to the lungs
aorta
this carries oxygen rich blood to the rest of the body; it is located on the left side of the body and it runs toward the pelvis
coronary arteries
leaves the base of the aorta and leads to the capillary bed in the heart wall
cardiac veins
drains the heart wall; it returns oxygen depleted blood to the right atrium through the coronary sinus
internal thoracic vessels
a pair of veins and arteries that pass on each side of the sternum; they extend from the base of the neck onto the ventral side of the sternum
left coronary artery (great cardiac vein)
found on the ventral surface of the heart; it separates the left and right ventricles
left and right auricles
dark colored and ear-shaped they lie on the cranial end of the heart above the right and left atria
left phrenic nerve
supplies the diaphragm; lies on one side of the vena cava
right phrenic nerve
supplies the diaphragm lies on the side of the cranial vena cave and extends down along the caudal vena cava
ductus arteriosis
opening between the pulmonary trunk and the aorta; this opening allows for the blood in fetal pig the bypass the lungs
Left Azygos Vein
receives much of the drainage from the thoracic wall; it lies lateral to pulmonary arteries
arch of the aorta
where the aorta arches to the left side of the body
descending aorta
where the aorta runs caudal to the arch of the aorta
external jugular veins
2 large veins that lie superficially on he lateroventral surface of the neck
Cephalic vein
lies just beneath the skin on the side of the arm; typically enters the external jugular near its base; they drain most of the head and neck and part of the should region
internal jugular veins
lie close to the trachea just lateral to the common carotid arteries; drain part of the inside of the skull
where do the external and internal jugular veins meet?
they come together to form the subclavian veins coming from the shoulder and the arms
brachiocephalic vein
a short vein that receives the second subclavian vein
brachiocephalic vein and the cranial vena cava
the right and left subclavian veins come together on each side to form the brachiocephalic vein which leads to the cranial vena cava
"subclavian" vein
when it's beneath the clavicle in a human
"axillary" vein
when it passes through the armpit (axilla)
"brachial" vein
when the vein enters the arm
subscapular vein
drains the medial side of the scapula and enters either the subclavian or the axillary
internal throracic veins
enters the ventral surface of the cranial vena cava shortly caudal to the point where the vena cava is formed
costocervical veins
can be found closer to the heart, but more deeply because they enter the dorsal surface of the cranial vena cava; they are accompanied by the costocervical arteries
brachiocephalic trunk
branches off the arch of the aorta and lies laterally to the left subclavian artery
left subclavian artery
branches off the arch of the aorta and lies laterally to the brachiocephalic trunk
costocervical trunk
supplies the deep muscles of the neck
highest intercostal artery
goes to the cranial intercostal spaces
vertebral artery*
supplies parts of the brain
internal thoracic artery
most easily seen branches of the subclavian artery
thyrocervical trunk
supplies the thyroid gland and superficial parts of the neck; beside the internal thoracic artery and vein
axillary artery
subclavian artery after crossing first rib (until the armpit)
brachial artery
the artery that enters the arm
external and internal carotid arteries
supplies the superficial and deeper parts of the head
vagus nerve*
a white strand that is part of the autonomic nervous system
Sympathetic Chord*
part of the autonomic nervous system
intercostal arteries
supplies intercostal muscles between ribs caudal to those supplied by highest intercostal artery
Left azygos vein
where most of the left and right intercostal veins collect; crosses dorsal side of heart and forms coronary sinus
Coronary sinus
receives small cardiac veins from the heart; enters the right atrium beside entrance of caudal vena cava
renal arteries
