Term
subclavian vein
Definition
?
Term
Azygos vein
Definition
- Usually last branch entering the cranial vena cava
Term
Aorta
Definition
- Emerges from left ventricle medial to pulmonary trunk
- ascending, descending, arch
Term
Right coronary artery
Definition
- supply myocardium
- leaves right sinus of the aorta, encircles right side of the heart in coronary groove
Term
Left coronary artery
Definition
- leaves left sinus ad terminates in the circumflex branch which supplies the subsinusoal intervetnricular branch and it terminates in the paraconal interventricular branch
Term
Brachiocephalic trunk
Definition
- gives rise to the left common carotid artery, terminats at right common carotid artery and right subclavian artery
- 1st branch of aortic arch, passes obliquely to the right ventral trachea
Term
Right subclavian artery
Definition
- originates from the brachiocephalic trunk
- gives rise to the right vertebral artery, right costocervical trunk, and the right superficial cervical artery
Term
Left subclavian artery
Definition
- originates from the aortic arch beyond the level of the brachiocephalic trunk, passes obliquely to the left ventral to the esophagus
- gives rise to the left vertebral artery, left costocervical truink, and left superficial cervical artery
Term
Vertebral artery
Definition
- supplies cervical muscles and spinal cord and its coverings
- Crosses medially across the surface of the first rib and disappears between longus colli and scalenus mm.
- Passes through transverse foarmin of first six cervical vertebrae
Term
Costocervical trunk
Definition
- supplies first, second, and third intercostal spaces, muscles at the base of the neck and dorsal to the first few thoracic vertebrae
- distal to vertebral artery, crosses lateral side of vertebral artery and extends dorsally to vertebral end of first rib
Term
Superficial cervical artery
Definition
- supplies the base of the neck and scapular region
- arises from subclavian artery opposite to internal thoracic artery, medial to first rib
- Emerges from the thoracic inlet
Term
Internal thoracic arteries
Definition
- supplies general area including the phrenic nerve, thymus, mediastinal pleurae and intercostal spaces
- Leaves subclavian artery, courses ventrocaudally to transversus thoracis m.
- Anastomes of dorsal and ventral arteries

Term
- Esophageal arteries
Definition
- supply the esophagus
- branch of bronchoesophageal artery
