Cardiovascular Anatomy- Circulation Prelab: Journey through the arteries Use the terms below to fill in the blanks: Abdominal aorta Aortic arch Aortic semilunar valve Brachiocephalic Celiac Common iliacs Coronary arteries External iliac Femoral Gastric Gonadal Hepatic Inferior mesenteric Internal iliac Left common carotid Left subclavian Mediastinum Renal Splenic Superior mesenteric Thoracic aorta (twice) You begin in the left ventricle of the heart. A ventricular contraction pushes you through the into the (2) artery, which curves across the superior surface of the On the way heart, connecting the ascending aorta with the inferiorly-directed (3) here, you passed two small openings to the (4) which serve the heart muscle. The first artery branching off the aortic arch, the (5) passageway for blood to arteries that serve the arms, neck, and head. As you continue your ascent, the (6) arch, both supplying arterial blood to vessels that serve the neck, head, shoulders, and arms.
