These structures carry blood away from the heart and to body tissues.

These are small subdivisions of arteries.

These are tiny vessels where exchanges occur between systems.

This system deliveries blood to the lungs.

This structure receives/takes in fresh oxygenated blood from the left ventricle. This is the largest artery. *This large arterial vessel takes blood from the heart to the rest of the body.*

This part of the aorta goes upward and to the right from the left ventricle.

This part of the aorta curves from the right and left, has a posterior extension.

This part of the aorta descends anterior to the vertebral column.

This part of the aorta is the longest section of the aorta, starting at the diaphragm and extending across the abdominal cavity.

This artery is a short vessel that supplies the arm and head on the right side with oxygenated rich blood.

This artery stretches upward from the highest part of the aortic arch supplying the left side of the neck and head with oxygenated rich blood.

This artery descends under the left clavicle and supplies the left upper extremity and part of the brain with oxygenated rich blood.

This small artery subdivides into three branches that supply oxygenated rich blood to the spleen, liver, and stomach.

This artery supplies blood to the stomach.

This artery supplies oxygenated rich blood to the spleen.

This artery supplies oxygenated rich blood to the liver.

This artery supplies oxygenated rich blood to the majority of the small intestine and the first half of the large intestine.

This artery is located beneath the superior mesenteric artery and supplies oxygenated rich blood to the second half of the intestine.

These arteries supply oxygenated rich blood to the diaphragm.

These arteries supply oxygenated rich blood to the kidneys.

These arteries supply oxygenated rich blood to the sex glands.

This is communication between two vessels.

This structure receives oxygenated rich blood from two carotid arteries and the basilar artery. It is located under the brain's center and extends branches to the cerebrum and other portions of the brain. *This area is the most vulnerable to aneurysms.*

This structure is created be the joining of the radial and ulnar arteries in the hand and extends to the fingers.

This structure is formed from communications between branches, which supply blood to the intestinal tract.

These are the longest veins in the lower extremities. **These veins are often used as a harvest vein in a coronary bypass graft.**

This vessel is created from the joining of the right and left brachiocephalic veins. *The veins from the neck, head, chest and upper extremities drain oxygenated poor blood into this vessel.*

This vein drains the chest wall and empties into the superior vena cava.

This vein is the longer of the two vessels and receives oxygenated poor blood from the areas below the diaphragm.

This means space or hollow.

This sinus takes in most of the blood from the heart wall.

These are spaces between two layers of dura mater.

This is a sinus located in the midline above the brain and in a fissure between the two cerebral hemispheres.

These are sinus-like capillaries.

This system carries blood from abdominal organs to the liver for processing prior to returning to the heart.

This is a slightly salted liquid also known as tissue fluid.

This condition increases the diameter of a blood vessel.

This is a smooth muscle that encircles the beginning of each capillary (controlling blood supply).

This condition compresses the veins and squeezes blood forward.

These structures are located in the vein, prevents back flow, and maintains blood moving forward.

This is a process of the number of times the heart beats per minute.

This device measures blood pressure.

This is an artery that can be palpitated behind the knee.

This artery can be found in the neck and is easily detected.

This artery can be palpitated in the mid upper arm in the antecubital space.

*The heart receives blood supply from these arteries.*

There is a occlusion or blockage in the artery. It will result in a...
