Major Branches of the Iliac Arteries Diagram
The iliac arteries are key players in delivering oxygenated blood to the pelvis and lower limbs, ensuring mobility and organ function in the lower body. This flow chart outlines the distribution of the major branches of the common iliac arteries, with the left side mirroring the right, providing a symmetrical circulatory network.
Arteries of the Thoracic and Abdominal Regions Anatomical Diagram
The arteries of the thoracic and abdominal regions play a crucial role in delivering oxygenated blood to the chest, abdomen, and their associated organs, ensuring vital physiological processes. This diagram illustrates the thoracic aorta and its visceral and parietal branches, providing a detailed map of how blood is distributed to support digestion, respiration, and other functions.
Aorta and Branches Anatomical Diagram
The aorta, the body’s largest artery, serves as the primary conduit for distributing oxygenated blood from the heart to all tissues. This diagram details its distinct regions—ascending aorta, aortic arch, and descending aorta, including thoracic and abdominal segments—highlighting its critical role in systemic circulation.
Systemic Arteries Anatomical Diagram
The systemic arteries form a critical network that distributes oxygenated blood from the heart to every part of the body, sustaining life and function. This diagram highlights the major arteries, showcasing their pathways and roles in delivering nutrients and oxygen to tissues while removing waste products.
Pulmonary Circuit Anatomical Diagram
The pulmonary circuit is a vital component of the circulatory system, responsible for oxygenating blood as it travels through the lungs. This diagram illustrates the pathway from the right ventricle to the pulmonary trunk, pulmonary arteries, capillaries, and back via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium, highlighting the process of gas exchange that sustains life.
