    Study Notes

    Circulatory System II

    • Venules have the lowest pressure
    • Capillaries are crucial for gas exchange

    Great Vessels

    • The aorta is the largest artery, originating from the left ventricle
    • It ascends, curves downwards, and then curves downwards again.
    • Parts of the aorta are:
      • Ascending aorta
      • Aortic arch
      • Descending aorta, which is further divided into:
        • Thoracic aorta
        • Abdominal aorta, locations varying by region

    Aortic Arch

    • Curves like an inverted U, superior to the heart
    • Branches off into three major arteries:
      • Brachiocephalic trunk
      • Left common carotid artery
      • Left subclavian artery
      • Additional branches of aortic arch:
        • Coronary arteries
        • Gives off branches for specific organs, such as the lungs, head & neck, and upper extremities

    Arteries of Upper Limb

    • Subclavian artery
    • Axillary artery
    • Brachial artery continues as:
      • Ulnar artery
      • Radial artery
    • Arteries of the upper limb are further branched to supply different structures

    Arteries of Lower Limb

    • Femoral artery, upon reaching the knee, becomes the popliteal artery
    • Popliteal artery is branched into anterior and posterior arteries (parts) that continue

    Veins of the Upper Limb

    • Superficial and deep veins
    • The deep ones have the same names (for example, radial vein) as their matching arteries
    • Radial and ulnar veins merge to form brachial vein and ultimately the axillary vein
    • Superficial veins such as basilic and cephalic come together.

    Veins of the Lower Limb

    • Superficial veins:
      • Arcus venosus dorsalis pedis
      • Great saphenous vein, continues to femoral vein
      • Small saphenous vein empties into popliteal vein
    • Deep veins:
      • Anterior and posterior tibial veins and fibular veins drain into popliteal
      • Popliteal vein is continuous with the femoral vein in the thigh region

    Intravenous Injection

    • Techniques for intravenous injections:
      • Intramuscular
      • Subcutaneous
      • Intravenous
      • Intradermal
    • Using veins like basilic and cephalic for injections, proper puncture site preparation is key
    • Important considerations in injection practices include angles (10-15 degrees)
