Question

The primary goals of this activity are to help you understand the meaning of the terms and to help you learn how to explain the terms in your own words. Write two anatomically /physiologically correct sentences using each of the following sets of terms. (Remember that you will need to use knowledge obtained from previous units as well as what you are learning in Unit 23!) The first set of terms has been completed with two examples. a. artery, vein, capillary There are three types of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries transport blood away from the heart, veins transport blood to the heart, and capillaries are the sites of gas exchange. Arteries usually transport oxygen-rich blood and veins usually transport oxygen- poor blood. b. coronary artery, brachiocephalic artery, bronchial artery c. axillary artery, radial artery, digital artery d. spleen, gallbladder, esophagus e. popliteal artery, fibular artery, dorsalis pedis artery f. dural sinus, brachiocephalic vein, occipital vein g. gonadal vein, common iliac vein, hepatic vein h. external iliac vein, popliteal vein, anterior tibial vein i. valve, ascending aorta, inferior vena cava j. arachnoid villi, ependymal cell, lateral ventricle

Explanation / Answer

a.cornoary atery,bronchial artery and branchiocephalic arteries are systemic arteries.branchiocephaic artery is that which supplies blood to the head,right arm,the head and the neck.bronchial artery supplies lung with nutrition and oxygenated blood.cornoary artery is the artery which produces oxygen rich blood to the heart.

b..Axillary artery,digital artery and radial artery are the arteries of the upper limb and thorax.axillary artery is the largest blood vessel which supplies oxygenated blood to the lateral aspect of the thorax,armpit and upper limb.the palmar digital artery is the only type of artery that emerges from superfical palmar arch.radial artery is the major artery in the human forearm.

c. spleen,oesophsgus and gallbladder are the organs in the gastrointestinal system.Spleen is a abdominal organ used in the producion of blood cells and it is also a part of the immune system.oesophagus is a long muscular tube which connects mouth and stomach.the gallbladder is a small pouch like organ to store the bile produced by the liver.

i.valve,ascending aorta and inferior vena cava are parts of the circulatory system.inferior vena cava is the large vein which carries deoxygenated blood from the lower and middle part of the body to the rigt atrium of the heart.Heart valve allows the blood to flow in one direction through the heart.ascending aorta is the part of hae aorta which begins from the upperb pART OF THE BASE of the left ventricle.
