How do you trace the blood from the femoral artery to the right big toe?
Blood flow in the leg begins at the femoral artery. From there, it runs to the popliteal artery, anterior tibial artery, dorsalis pedis artery, and finally, the dorsal metatarsal arteries.
What is the path of a drop of blood from the aorta to the capillaries in the big toe?
As oddly specific as this question is the flow would probably follow the path below: Aortic Arch==>Descending Aorta==>either the left or right Common Illiac Artery==>External Illiac Artery==>Femoral Artery==>from here there are two options to get to the Hallucis (big toe) The first is that the blood flows through the Anterior Tibial Artery then into the Medial Dorsal Artery or Lateral Dorsal Artery which merge to form the Arcuate Artery. From here will come smaller un-named arteries to supply the top of the big toe. The other option is that blood flows through the Posterios Tibial Artery then into the Medial Plantar Artery and Lateral Plantar Artery which merge to form the Plantar Arch. Again smller un-named arteries come from the arch to suplly the underside of the big toe this time.
How big is the biggest artery?
The biggest artery is the aorta. When it comes off of the heart it's diameter is between 18 and 22 mm.
Which bleeds more artery or vein?
Yes, because there is more pressure in the artery than in the vein so the artery has to be big enough to hold the pressure that's inside it.
Is the medulla lateral to the renal pelvis?
Yes. The renal medulla is lateral to the renal pelvis. You have the renal pelvis placed lateral to the medulla. The kidneys face to each other lateral to the vertebral column.. The right kidney is situated lower than the left kidney. This happens due to big size of the liver.
Is it bad to have big swollen artery in calf muscle?
ya it is go see a doctor
What is the major artery that carries blood away from the heart?
You have aorta or systemic aorta that arise from your heart. This very big artery arise from the left ventricle. You have a big pulmonary aorta, that arise from your right ventricle. The systemic aorta is the bigger than pulmonary aorta. Although both of them carry the same amount of blood.
What is the path of blood from the heart to the left big toe?
bicuspid valve-->left ventricle of heart-->aortic valve-->ascending aorta--> aortic arch-->thoracic aorta-->abdominal aorta-->right common iliac artery and /or left common iliac artery (abdominal aorta splits to form right and left common iliac arteries, adjust for which leg you follow) -->right external iliac artery -->right femoral artery -->right popliteal artery-->right anterior tibial artery-->right dorsal pedis artery-->right arcuate artery-->right dorsal metatarsal artery-->right dorsal digital artery-->arteriole-->capillary-->venule-->right dorsal digital vein-->right dorsal metatarsal vein-->right dorsal venous arch-->right great saphenous vein-->right femoral vein-->right external iliac vein-->right common iliac vein-->Inferior vena cava-->right atrium of the heart-->tricuspid valve system is highly interconnected and alternative routes can be followed within the arteries and veins of the lower limbs
Where is femoral located?
i am not sure if you mean femur, but if you do it is the big bone in the upper part of your leg. the femoral artery runs along it
Where is the basilar artery located?
An aneurysm is a weakening in the wall of a blood vessel. This causes the blood to pool and push against the weak spot as it flows through the vessel, developing the ballooning or blossoming effect on the side of the vessel. This is very dangerous, the larger and faster the ballooning, the more dangerous. The vessel becomes weaken and brittle at the stretched point, and you do not want it to rupture, especially if it is in a vital area. There are several ways to fix an aneurysm, depending on where is it and how big it has gotten. I know that the basilar artery is located at or near the base of the skull, But that still leaves alot details out. That's the best I can do with the info, you gave and requested. This is a very fearful thing, but most can be handled with quick action, and proper care.
