|
Trace the flow of blood from the right popliteal vein to the heart |
Right popliteal vein Right femoral vein Right external iliac vein Right common iliac vein Inferior vena cava Heart |
|
Define enastimosis |
The union of two blood vessels to supply the same region |
|
Describe the skeletal muscle pump. |
Many of the deep veins run between skeletal muscles and when you contract a skeletal muscle it bulges. So when you contract skeletal muscles they compress these deep veins pushing the blood. Since blood can only go one direction it helps move the blood up towards the heart. |
|
Describe the respiratory pump when you inhale. |
When you inhale the diaphragm contracts and flattens out and it make the thoracic cavity bigger which decreases intra-thoracic pressure. At the same time the diaphragm is pushing on the abdominal cavity increasing intra-abdominal pressure. It compresses the abdominal vessels and in the thorax there is less pressure which pulls the blood up.
|
|
Describe the respiratory pump when you exhale. |
When you exhale the pressure in the thorax increases but the blood can't be pushed back down because of the valves and the pressure is released in the abdominal vessels so that the blood from the lower limbs can move into the abdominal cavity now. |
|
Blood vessels below the diaphragm drain into the ___________ vena cava while blood vessels above the diaphragm drain into the __________ vena cava. |
Inferior Superior |
|
The superior vena cava is made up of the merging of which two veins? |
Right brachiocephalic vein Left brachiocephalic vein |
|
Each brachiocephalic vein is made up of the merging of |
A subclavian veins and two jugular veins. |
|
The inferior vena cava runs next to the |
Descending abdominal aorta |
|
Arteries and veins that run next to each other are sometimes called________________. |
Companion vessels (they often have the same name) |
|
The inferior vena cava is formed by the union of two large veins: _______________&______________ |
The left and right common iliac vein |
