The drop of blood travels as follows: From the aortic arch to the left subclavian artery. Then through the left vertebral, passing though the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebrae (from C6-C1) At the C1 level the vertebral arteries travel across the posterior arch of the atlas before entering the foramen magnum into the skull. From here, it merges with with that vertebral artery on the right side to become the basilar artery. The blood then travels through a branch of the basilar known as the posterior cerebral artery. This artery's branches are divided into two sets, the ganglionic branches and, the cortical branches. The particular artery largely supplying the occipital lobe is known as the parietoöccipital or parieto-occipital artery, and is a cortical branch.

What are the structures that pass through diaphragm?

The three structures you are looking for are the Asophagus, the Descending Aorta and the Vena Cava. Do not fall for the trap placed be asking for three structures, which might lead you to include the trachea in place of the vena cava. The trachea bifrucates at the level of T4 where it enters the lungs, far above the thoracic diaphragm.


Describe the pathway of metabolic waste from the aorta to the outside of the body in the fetal pig?
