Colic arteries supply blood to colon.
Human colon has different portions (ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and sigmoid colon).
Right colic artery supplies blood to ascending colon.
Middle colic artery supplies blood to tranverse colon.
Left colic artery supplies blood to the descending colon.
Sigmoid arteries (two or three) supplies blood to sigmoid colon.
The right colic and middle colic arteries are branches of superior mesentric artery.
The left coliac artery and sigmoid arteries are branches of inferior esentric artery.
The left and right common carotid arteries branch off the arch of the aorta. They travel up through the neck and at the level of C4 divide into external and internal carotid arteries. The internal travels more deeply and ultimately the blood it carries supplies areas of the brain, the external is more superficial and is largely responsible for supplying areas of the neck and face.
Arteries carry blood from the heart. The main one is the Aorta which carries blood all over the body by branching into the carotid arteries (head), femoral arteries (legs), brachial arteries (arms) and so on. The other main artery is the pulmonary artery which takes blood to the lungs.
Barium is used to help doctors visualize your intestines. It is given as a barium enema x-ray, and is useful in identifying problem areas, but may miss 40% of polyps. An examination with a colonoscope identifies problems with greater accuracy.
anatomic end arteries are vessels whose terminal branches donot anastomose with branches of arteries supplying adjacent areas . Functional end arteries are vessels whose terminal branches do anastomose with those of adjacent arteries , but the caliber of anastomoses is insufficient to keep the tissue alive should one of the arteries become occluded .
Arteriorrhexis means rupture of an artery, but it is not commonly used.The term most often used is "ruptured" but these can also be called "dissected" arteries. Dissected usually means that there is leakage of blood inside the layers of arterial tissue. However, if the vessel continues to tear all the way open, it can still be called dissection, but that would most often be called a "ruptured dissection"."Aneurysms" are weakened areas in the walls of arteries that allow them to bulge out or "balloon", these also can rupture and are called a "ruptured aneurysm" or also a "dissected aneurysm" if that happens.Atreriorrhexis means rupture of an artery.Anteri/o mean arteryRrhexis means rupture
A distal pulse refers to a pulse that is located away from the center of the body or an injury site. It is often used to assess blood flow and circulation in extremities such as the fingers, toes, or ankles. Palpating distal pulses can help healthcare providers determine the effectiveness of blood supply to these areas.
The right coronary artery supplies blood to the right atrium and most of the right ventricle. It branches off from the aorta and runs along the surface of the heart, providing oxygenated blood to these areas.
Jugular Vein.The above is nearly correct but actually reversed in actual function. The aorta is the artery that supplies the entire body with blood, except for the lungs which are supplied by the pulmonary artery. The jugular vein returns blood from the face and neck areas.
The left and right common carotid arteries branch off the arch of the aorta. They travel up through the neck and at the level of C4 divide into external and internal carotid arteries. The internal travels more deeply and ultimately the blood it carries supplies areas of the brain, the external is more superficial and is largely responsible for supplying areas of the neck and face.
A pulse can be felt where an artery crosses a bone. The main areas where the strongest pulse may be felt are the carotid artery in the neck, the brachial artery in the crook of the arm and the radial artery in the inner wrist.
Peristalsis occurs in the esophagus, the stomach, and the intestines. It involves coordinated muscular contractions that push food and liquids through the digestive tract.
Aneurysms can occur in any artery of the body. The three most common and the main areas of concern for aneurysms to occur are the brain, abdominal aorta, and the femoral artery.
The popliteal artery branches off from the femoral artery. It is located in the knee and the back of the leg. Its courses near the adductor canal and the adductor hiatus, distinctive open areas inside the thigh
Because there is an artery close to the skin there.
The distal convoluted tubule and the collecting duct are the areas of the nephron that are sensitive to the hormone aldosterone. Aldosterone acts on these segments to regulate the reabsorption of sodium and water, helping to maintain electrolyte balance and blood pressure.
Certain parts of the body, such as the wrist and neck, have major arteries close to the surface, making it easier to feel the pulse. The radial artery in the wrist and carotid artery in the neck are commonly used to assess pulse rate and quality due to their accessibility. Areas with prominent bones and less soft tissue will also allow for a pulse to be more easily palpated.
