The cardiovascular system

Femoral artery

The femoral artery (s. Femoralis) is an extension of the external iliac artery, passes under the inguinal ligament (through the vascular lacuna) lateral to the eponymous vein, following the iliac comb downwards, being covered (in the femoral triangle) with fascia and skin only.

Arteries of the lower limb

The femoral artery (a. Femoralis) is the extension of the external iliac artery, passes under the inguinal ligament (through the vascular lacuna) lateral to the vein of the same name, follows the iliac comb downward, being covered (in the femoral triangle) with fascia and skin only.

General, internal and external iliac arteries

The common iliac artery (a. Iliaca communis) is paired, formed when the abdominal part of the aorta is divided (bifurcated); Its length is 5-7 cm, its diameter is 11.0-12.5 mm. The arteries diverge in the sides, go down and out at an angle that women have more than men.

Abdominal part of the aorta

From the abdominal part of the aorta, the parietal branches extend - to the walls of the trunk and the inner branches, which supply blood to the internal organs located in the abdominal cavity and partly into the pelvic cavity.

The thoracic part of the aorta

From the thoracic part of the aorta there are two kinds of branches - parietal (parietal) and visceral (internal) branches.

Radial artery

The radial artery (a. Radialis) begins 1-3 cm distal to the cleft of the humerus and continues the direction of the brachial artery. Initially, the radial artery lies between the round pronator and the humerus muscle, and in the lower third of the forearm is covered only by fascia and skin, so it is easy to probe its pulsation.

Ulnar artery

The ulnar artery (a. Ulnaris) is, as it were, an extension of the brachial artery, from which it extends in the ulnar fossa at the level of the coronoid process of the ulna. Then on the way to the brush the artery goes under the round pronator, giving to it the muscle branches.

Brachial artery

The brachial artery (a. Brachialis) is a continuation of the axillary artery. It starts at the level of the lower edge of the large pectoral muscle and lies here in front of the beak-brachial muscle.

Axillary artery

Axillary artery (a.axillaris) is a continuation of the subclavian artery (from level I of the rib). It is located in the depth of the axillary fossa and is surrounded by trunks of the brachial plexus.

Arteries of the upper limb

The axillary artery is directed to the upper limb, its extension is the brachial artery and branches that branch from them.
