Peripheral Nerves and Vessels Lab VT 118 In General… Veins, arteries, and nerves follow the same path through the body – Larger vessels and nerves lie deeper in the body… i.e. protected under superficial muscle layers – Arteries and nerves tend to lie deep to veins Why? Head and Neck Cut end of external jugular vein Head and Neck Carotid Artery Head and Neck Head Branches of facial nerve Branches of Cranial Vena Cava Thoracic Limb Veins The cephalic vein unites with the external jugular vein in the lower neck area. The subclavian vein and external jugular vein unite to form the brachiocephalic vein. The right and left brachiocephalic veins unite to form the cranial vena cava. The brachial vein continues on as the axillary vein and then as the subclavian vein. The name changes based on the region of the body the vein is passing through. Veins of Thoracic Forelimb Branches of Thoracic Aorta Thoracic Limb Arteries The subclavian artery continues on as the axillary and then the brachial artery. Arteries of Thoracic Forelimb Thoracic Limb Nerves Thoracic Limb Nerves Nerves of Thoracic Forelimb Branches of Caudal Vena Cava Pelvic Limb Veins The saphenous vein continues on as the femoral vein. The femoral vein joins the external iliac. The external and internal iliac veins unite to form the common iliac. The right and left common iliac veins unite to form the caudal vena cava. Popliteal lymph node Branches of Abdominal Aorta Pelvic Limb Arteries Inguinal Lymph Node Pelvic Limb Nerves
