General Description
1.Organ-Extrinsic Distribution Patterns of Artery
1) A main A-trunk lies in a certain part of body
2) Part: marking the start and the end of an artery
3) Branches (1st ,2nd, 3rd… in grade, from a large D
to a small D)
Parietal and visceral branches exist in the trunk.
4) Symmetrical or bilateral arrangements
5) Accompanied with V and N
The purpose is to better understand the name, main
branches and specific supply targets of an artery.

3. Patterns of Anastomoses of Arteries
Some parts of the body build up arterial anastomoses to ensure constant
blood supply to the specific areas or organs because these regions or organs
often change their shape or are pressed & their blood flow is affected.

4. Collateral Circulation

Collateral
branches
Composition of Pulmonary Circulation
1) Pulmonary trunk ,left and
right pulmonary arteries
contain venous blood.
2) Pulmonary veins
(4 in number)
contain arterial blood.
3) Arterial ligament
( ductus arteriosus)
(position ,clinic
significance,CHD)

Summary
● Left common carotid
originates
from aortic arch.
Right common carotid
arises from
brachiocephalic trunk.
● Brachiocephalic
trunk gives off
branches behind
the right
sternoclavicular joint.
● Common carotid
gives off its branches
opposite the upper
border of
thyroid cartilage.
