CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

-orderly movement in a circuit

-exchange nutrients, gases, hormones,
blood, immune system
-regulate BP
SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION
-all parts of the body except lungs LV--RA
PULMONARY CIRCULATION
-RV---pulm trunk---pulm arteries---pulm
veins

b. Internal Carotid Artery

-passing carotid canal
-Basilar Artery
BRANCHES OF EXTERNAL CAROTID
ARTERY
Superior Thyroid-supply thyroid
Facial-ascends to neck crossing
inferior border of mandible up to the
face
Lingual- goes up in sub mandibular
region to tongue
Ascending Pharyngeal entering
pharynx/ post. of tongue/ lateral of
oropharynx
Occipital- back to nape/ back of neck
Posterior Auricular- behind pinna

2. LEFT COMMON CAROTID ARTERY
a. External Carotid Artery
-superficial structures in neck
and head

AXILLARY ARTERY
-Distal continuation of Subclavian Artery
-landmark central structure of axilla
-origin is at the lateral margin of the first rib
-After passing the lower margin of teres
major it becomes the brachial artery

Axillary divided into 3 parts:

First Part (1branch)
Supreme Thoracic Artery
(Superior thoracic Artery)
Second Part(2 branches)
Thoraco-Acromial Artery- supply
deltoid region
Lateral Thoracic Artery- running
along lateral border of pectoralis
Third Part(3 branches)
Subscapular Artery
Anterior Circumflex Humeral Artery
Posterior Circumflex humeral Artery

BRACHIAL ARTERY
-continuation of the axillary artery beyond
the lower margin of teres major muscle
- used when taking Blood Pressure
-continues down the ventral surface of the
arm until it reaches the cubital fossa at
the elbow

artery)
