Step-by-step solution for: vessels | The Biology Corner
The image provided is a diagram of the human circulatory system, specifically focusing on the major arteries and veins. The task appears to be labeling the unlabeled parts of the diagram. Below is the solution with explanations for each labeled part:
---
1. Carotid Artery: Supplies oxygenated blood to the head and neck.
2. Subclavian Artery: Branches off from the aorta and supplies blood to the arms and upper chest.
3. Brachiocephalic Artery: A short artery that branches into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery.
4. Vertebral Artery: Supplies blood to the brainstem and cerebellum.
5. Internal Carotid Artery: Supplies blood to the brain.
6. External Carotid Artery: Supplies blood to the face and neck.
---
7. Aorta: The main artery that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
8. Intercostal Arteries: Supply blood to the intercostal muscles between the ribs.
9. Axillary Artery: Continuation of the subclavian artery; supplies blood to the arm.
10. Femoral Artery: Supplies blood to the lower limbs.
11. Renal Artery: Supplies blood to the kidneys.
12. Gonadal Artery: Supplies blood to the reproductive organs (testes or ovaries).
---
13. Inferior Epigastric Artery: Supplies blood to the lower abdominal wall.
14. Superior Mesenteric Artery: Supplies blood to the small intestine and part of the large intestine.
15. Inferior Mesenteric Artery: Supplies blood to the distal part of the large intestine.
16. Hepatic Artery: Supplies blood to the liver.
17. Splenic Artery: Supplies blood to the spleen.
---
18. Deep Brachial Artery: Supplies blood to the deep structures of the arm.
19. Radial Artery: Supplies blood to the forearm and hand.
20. Ulnar Artery: Supplies blood to the forearm and hand.
21. Palmar Arch: Forms an arterial network in the palm of the hand.
22. Digital Artery: Supplies blood to the fingers.
---
23. Femoral Artery: Supplies blood to the thigh.
24. Popliteal Artery: Supplies blood to the knee and calf.
25. Dorsalis Pedis Artery: Supplies blood to the top of the foot.
26. Plantar Arches: Form an arterial network in the sole of the foot.
27. Digital Artery: Supplies blood to the toes.
---
28. Pulmonary Veins: Carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
29. Superior Vena Cava: Returns deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right atrium of the heart.
30. Inferior Vena Cava: Returns deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the right atrium of the heart.
---
- Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart (except for the pulmonary artery).
- Veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart (except for the pulmonary veins).
- The diagram shows how these vessels branch out to supply different regions of the body.
By understanding the function and distribution of these vessels, you can accurately label the diagram.
