Veins of the Upper Limb Superficial Veins: Basilic, Cephalic, Median Cubital Deep Veins: Radial, Ulnar, Brachial

Did I Get This? •Most of the veins that drain the brain empty into the __________. A.Dural sinusB.Hepatic portal systemC.Coronary sinusD.Cranial anastomoses

Veins of the Abdominal Regions • Right and left common iliac veins unite to form Inferior vena cava • Inferior vena cava receives blood from Right and Left Renal veins • Inferior vena cava receives blood from Hepatic vein

Hepatic Portal Vein • The liver receives blood from the normal systemic circulation via the hepatic artery . It also receives blood from other organs, delivered via the hepatic portal system . All blood exits the liver via the hepatic vein , which delivers the blood to the inferior vena cava. Hepatic portal vein receives blood from: Superior mesenteric vein Inferior mesenteric vein Splenic vein Gastric vein

Did I Get This? • The superior vena cava is formed from the joining of __________. A. Left and right brachiocephalic veins and the azygos vein. B. The two jugular and two brachiocephalic veins C. The left and right brachiocephalic veins D. The left and right jugular veins

Major Veins of the Lower Limbs Superficial Veins: Great Saphenous vein Deep Veins: Posterior Tibial, Anterior Tibial, Popliteal, Femoral

Varicose Veins • Varicose veins are commonly found in the lower limbs. (credit: Thomas Kriese)

Did I Get This? • Which vein is the most frequently used for drawing blood? A. Metacarpal veins B. Median antebrachial vein C. Subclavian D. Median cubital vein

Fetal Circulation Fetal Shunts Umbilical Artery (Deoxygenated) Umbilical Vein (Oxygenated The foramen ovale located in the interatrial septum allows blood to flow from the right atrium to the left atrium. The ductus arteriosus c onnects the aorta to the pulmonary trunk. The ductus venosus links the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava passing through the liver.
