    Study Notes

    Aorta

    • The aorta is the largest artery in the body.
    • It originates from the left ventricle of the heart and carries oxygenated blood to the body.
    • The aorta is divided into four parts: ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending thoracic aorta and descending abdominal aorta.
    • The ascending aorta originates from the left ventricle of the heart and ends at the level of the sternal angle (lower border of 4th thoracic vertebra).
    • It has 3 sinuses (dilatations) at the base, which is where the right coronary artery & left coronary artery originate to supply the heart.
    • The aortic arch is a continuation of the ascending aorta at the level of the sternal angle.
    • It ends at the level of sternal angle (T4) and continues as the descending thoracic aorta.
    • The aortic arch gives rise to the brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery.
    • The descending thoracic aorta is a continuation of the aortic arch at the level of the sternal angle (T4).
    • It ends at the level of T12 and enters the aortic opening in the diaphragm, continuing as the abdominal aorta.
    • The descending thoracic aorta supplies the bronchi, esophagus, posterior intercostal arteries, pericardium, subcostal arteries, mediastinum and superior phrenic arteries.
    • The descending abdominal aorta begins at the level of T12 and ends at the level of L4, where it divides into the left and right common iliac arteries.
    • The descending abdominal aorta supplies the digestive system, kidneys, gonads, and lower limbs.

    Common Carotid Artery

    • The left common carotid artery originates from the arch of the aorta, and the right common carotid artery originates from the brachiocephalic trunk.
    • Both common carotid arteries divide into the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery.
    • The internal carotid artery supplies blood to the brain and eyes.
    • The external carotid artery supplies blood to the face, neck, and scalp.

    Subclavian Artery

    • The left subclavian artery originates from the aortic arch, and the right subclavian artery originates from the brachiocephalic artery.
    • The subclavian artery supplies blood to the shoulder, arm, and hand.
    • It continues as the axillary artery at the lateral border of the first rib.

    Brachiocephalic Artery

    • The brachiocephalic artery is only one, and it originates from the aortic arch behind the sternoclavicular joint.
    • It divides into the right subclavian artery and right common carotid artery.

    Pulmonary Trunk

    • The pulmonary trunk is a large artery that originates from the right ventricle of the heart.
    • It is about 5 cm long and ends below the arch of the aorta and in front of the left principal bronchus.
    • It divides into the left and right pulmonary arteries at the level of T5-T6.

    Superior Vena Cava

    • The superior vena cava (SVC) is formed by the union of the right and left brachiocephalic veins at the level of the lower border of the right first costal cartilage.
    • The SVC opens into the right atrium at the level of the right third costal cartilage.
    • The SVC drains venous blood from the: head, neck, thoracic wall, and upper limb.
    • The SVC receives the azygos vein opposite the sternal end of the second costal cartilage, and ends opposite the 3rd costal cartilage to enter the right atrium.
    • The tributaries of the SVC are the right and left brachiocephalic veins, azygos vein, mediastinal veins, and pericardial veins.

    Brachiocephalic Veins

    • The right brachiocephalic vein is formed by the union of the right subclavian and right internal jugular veins.
    • The left brachiocephalic vein is formed by the union of the left subclavian and left internal jugular veins.
    • Both brachiocephalic veins unite to form the superior vena cava.

    Inferior Vena Cava

    • The inferior vena cava (IVC) is formed by the union of the two common iliac veins at the level of the 5th lumbar vertebra.
    • It pierces the central tendon of the diaphragm at the level of the 8th thoracic vertebra.
    • The IVC opens into the right atrium at the level of the right 6th costal cartilage.

    Pulmonary Veins

    • There are four pulmonary veins that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
    • The two lower veins originate from the lower lobes of each lung.
    • The upper right vein originates from the middle and upper lobes of the right lung.
    • The upper left vein originates from the upper lobe of the left lung.

    Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System

    • Aorta is the largest artery, originating from the left ventricle of the heart and carrying oxygenated blood throughout the body.
    • Ascending Aorta begins at the left ventricle, has three sinuses at its base, and ends at the sternal angle (lower border of the 4th thoracic vertebra). Its branches are the right and left coronary arteries, supplying the heart.
    • Arch of Aorta continues from the ascending aorta, starts at the sternal angle and ends at the same level, transitioning into the descending thoracic aorta. Branches include the brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery.
    • Descending Thoracic Aorta originates at the sternal angle, descends along the thoracic vertebrae, and continues as the abdominal aorta after passing through the diaphragm at the level of T12. Branches include bronchial, esophageal, posterior intercostal, pericardial, subcostal, mediastinal, and superior phrenic arteries.
    • Descending Abdominal Aorta begins at the aortic opening in the diaphragm, continuing from the thoracic aorta.
    • Common Carotid Arteries are responsible for blood supply to the head and neck. The right common carotid originates from the brachiocephalic artery, while the left arises directly from the aortic arch. Both arteries divide into the internal and external carotid arteries.
    • Subclavian Arteries supply the upper limbs and the head. The right subclavian arises from the brachiocephalic artery, the left from the aortic arch. Both arteries continue as the axillary artery at the first rib's lateral border.
    • Brachiocephalic Artery is the only artery arising directly from the aortic arch, dividing into the right subclavian artery and the right common carotid artery.
    • Pulmonary Trunk is a short (about 5cm) vessel originating from the right ventricle at the level of the third costal cartilage. It divides into the right and left pulmonary arteries at the level of T5-T6.
    • Superior Vena Cava (SVC) is formed by the union of the right and left brachiocephalic veins at the level of the first costal cartilage. It terminates in the right atrium, draining blood from the head, neck, thoracic wall, and upper limbs.
    • Brachiocephalic Veins are formed by the union of the internal jugular and subclavian veins on each side. The right brachiocephalic vein is formed by the union of the right subclavian and right internal jugular veins; the left brachiocephalic vein is formed by the union of the left subclavian and left internal jugular veins. Both brachiocephalic veins unite to form the Superior Vena Cava.
    • Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) is formed by the union of the two common iliac veins at the level of the 5th lumbar vertebra. It pierces the diaphragm at the level of T8 and terminates in the right atrium at the level of the 6th costal cartilage, draining blood from the lower limbs, abdomen, and pelvis.
    • Pulmonary Veins are four veins responsible for returning oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. Two lower veins are from the lower lobes of each lung, an upper right vein from the middle and upper lobes of the right lung, and an upper left vein from the upper lobe of the left lung.
