    Study Notes

    Blood Vessel Layers

    • The tunica interna is the innermost layer, thin and provides elasticity.
    • The tunica media is the middle layer, responsible for vasoconstriction (narrowing of the blood vessel).
    • The tunica externa is the outermost layer, providing structural support.

    Arteries Supplying Specific Structures

    • Upper Limb: Subclavian Artery
    • Head & Brain: Common Carotid Artery
    • Lower Limb/Pelvis: Common Iliac Artery
    • Intestines: Superior Mesenteric Artery
    • Spine: Vertebral Artery
    • Anterior/Lateral Arm: Cephalic Vein (Note: veins are not the primary vessels supplying blood. Veins primarily drain blood from regions.)
    • Liver, Spleen, Stomach: Celiac Artery

    Abdominal Aorta Branches

    • The celiac trunk supplies the liver, gallbladder, stomach, and spleen.
    • The superior mesenteric artery supplies the small intestine and portions of the large intestine.
    • The inferior mesenteric artery supplies portions of the large intestine.
