arise from the subclavian arteries in the base of the neck near the tips of the lungs
vertebral arteries

thyrocervical arteries
-
third vessels to branch from the subclavians, carry blood to muscles in the neck, back, and thoracic wall
costocervical arteries
-
courses upward on the side of the head, giving off branches to structures in the neck, face, jaw, scalp and base of skull
external carotid artery
-
follows deep course upward along the pharynx to the bas of the skull, major blood supply to the brain
internal carotid artery
-
supplies branches to the neck, contines into the arm
axillary artery
-
courses along the humerus to the elbow
brachial artery
-
leads downward on the ulnar side of the forearm to the wrist
ulnar artery
-
continuation of the brachial artery, extends along the radial side of the forarm to the wrist
radial artery
-
vessel originates in the base of the neck and passes downward on the pleura and behind the cartilages of the upper six ribs
internal thoracic artery
-
these vessels provide blood to the pelvic organs, gluteal region, and lower limbs
common iliac arteries
-
gives off many branches to various pelvic musbles and visceral structures as well as to the gluteal muscles and the external genitalia
internal iliac artery
-
provides blood supply to the lower limbs
external iliac artery
-
passes fairly close to the anterior surface of the upper thigh, gives off many branches to muscles and superficial tissues
femoral artery
-
supply blood to the knee joint and to certain muscles in the thigh and calf
popliteal artery
-
passes downward between the tibia and the fibula, giving off branches to the skin and muscles in the anterior and lateral regions of the leg
anterior tibial artery
-
descends beneath the calf muscles, giving off branches to the skin, muscles, and other tissues of the leg along the way
posterior tibial artery
-
drains blood from the face, scalp, and superficial regions of the neck
external jugular veins
-
arise from many veins, and venous sinuses of the brain and from deep veins in various parts of the face and neck
internal jugular veins
-
unions of the internal jugular and subclavian veins
brachiocephalic veins
-
deep venous drainage of the upper limbs begin in the digital veins that drain into pairs of radial veins and ulnar veins which merge to form a pair of ______
brachial veins
-
passes along the back of the foearm on the ulnar side for a distance....vein
basilic vein
-
courses upward on the lateral side of the upper limb from the hand to the shoulder....vein
cephalic vein
-
originates in the dorsal abdonminal wall and ascends through the mediastenum on the right side of the vertebral column to join the superior vena cava...vein
azygos vein
-
the blood of the hepatic portal system travels through a series of merging vessels into
hepatic veins
-
deep veins of the leg, anterior and posterior tibial veins, at the level of the knee, these vessels form a single trunk the

-
begins in the lateral protion of the foot and passes upward behind the lateral malleolus...vein
small saphenous vein
-
longest vein in the body, originates on the medial side of the foot
great saphenous vein
-
carry blood away from organs of the reprodictive, urinary and digestive systems
internal iliac vein
-
originate deep within the pelvis and ascend to the pelvis brim, there they unite with the right and left external iliac veins to form the
common iliac veins
