Write out the pathway for the following descriptions based on the blood vessels

Question

Write out the pathway for the following descriptions based on the blood vessels and nerves listed in your lab book. You may write these as a series of items connected by arrows. As blood circulates through the body, after it has been deoxygenated, it will take the most direct route possible back to the heart and lungs to be oxygenated. Once it has been oxygenated, it will then take the most direct route possible to its destination. A standard blood tracing through the body has the following format, starting as deoxygenated blood in one part of the body, traveling through the heart and lungs to be oxygenated, and then heading to another part of the body to bring it fresh oxygen. The italicized portions will change depending upon the start/end point of the drop of blood. The bold portions will remain the same for all blood tracings. Appropriate Veins ? Superior or Inferior Vena Cava ? Right Atrium-) Right Atrioventricular Valve-) Right Ventricle ? Pulmonary Semilunar Valve ? Pulmonary Trunk ? Pulmonary Arteries ? Lungs-) Pulmonary Veins Left Atrium ? Left Atrioventricular Valve-) Left Ventricle-) Aortic Semilunar Valve-) Ascending Aorta Aortic Arch/Descending Aorta/Thoracic Aorta/Abdominal Aorta >Appropriate Arteries Complete the following tracings using the information above as well as the blood vessels that you are required to know. 1) Trace a drop of blood from the back of the calf, through the heart, and to the thumb. 2) Trace a drop of blood from the left gonad, through the heart, and to the right kidney.

Explanation / Answer

1. posterior arch vein --> great saphenous vein --> femoral v. --> ext iliac vein -->common iliac vein --> inferior venacava --> right atrium --> tricuspid valve --> right ventricle --> pulmonary semilunar valve --> pulmonary trunk --> pulmonary a. --> lungs --> pulmonary v. --> left atrium --> mitral valve --> left ventricle --> aortic semilunar valve --> ascending aorta --> aortic arch --> subclavian a. --> axillary a.  --> brachial a.  --> radial a.  --> digital a.  --> arterioles  --> capillaries of thumb

2. gonadal vein --> inferior vanacava --> right atrium --> tricuspid valve --> right ventricle --> pulmonary semilunar valve --> pulmonary trunk --> pulmonary a. --> lungs --> pulmonary v. --> left atrium --> mitral valve --> left ventricle --> aortic semilunar valve --> ascending aorta --> aortic arch --> descending aorta -->right renal artery
