How can you trace a drop of blood from the left anterior tibial vein to the right radial artery?

The left anterior tibial vein drains into the veins leading into the inferior vena cava, which empties in the right atrium. The right atrium pumps into the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps this deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary trunk which splits into two branches left and right which transport the doexygenated blood on to vasculature in the lungs. This circuit essentially turns around in the alveolar capillaries where gas exchange occurs, oxygenating this blood and turning it from blue to red. This blood drains into a return system, draining this oxygenated blood from capillary to venule to vein, gathering in the right and left pulmonary vein. (vein doesn't always mean blue blood. Vein means that it is returning to the heart and artery means leaving the heart. In the body system this means that arteries are red and veins are blue, but in the pulmonary circuit, it's the opposite with regard to color. Don't rely on blood color to remember this, rely on direction of transport to and from the heart). The blood enters the left atrium through the mitral valve and into the left ventricle which pumps through the aortic valve into the aorta which feeds the systemic circuit. Off of the aorta there are many branches leading to areas of the body such as the head, upper torso, legs, etc. One of these branches, the brachiocephalic trunk, will split into two branches. The one on the thumb side of the forearm is the right radial artery.

What is the major artery that supplies blood to the lower part of the leg the calf?
It is called the femoral artery that branches out into 2 tibial arteries and one peroneal artery.
What it the pathway of blood from heart to anterior cerebral artery?
L ventricleAscending aortaAortic ArchBrachiocephalic trunkR Common Carotid arteryR Internal Carotid arteryR anterior cerebral artery
What is the blood supply of arachnoid mater?
The middle meningeal artery supplies most of the blood for the dura mater, though the meningeal branches of the posterior and anterior ethmoidal artery also contribute.
What is the blood supply for internal capsule?
anterior part of anterior limb = supplied by anterior cerebral arteryposterior part of anterior limb + genu + posterior limb = supplied by middle cerebral arteryretrolentiform + sublentiform parts = supplied by anterior choroidal artery
Blood supply of motor speech area?
The branches of middle cerebral artery provide most of the arterial blood supply of the primary motor cortex; while branches of the anterior cerebral artery supplies its medial aspect.
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 pathway from the heart to the right foot?
Blood goes into the Aorta from the heart. Then enters into Common iliac arteries, external iliac arteries, femoral artery, popliteal artery, and then it goes into the anterior tibial and posterior tibial arteries which supply the foot.
Where can pulse not be felt?
Carotid Artery, Radial Artery, Brachial Artery, Femoral Artery, Popliteal Artery, Posterior Tibial Artery, Dorsalis Pedis Artery. These are the main ones that are checked.
Trace blood from aortic arch to left radial artery?
From the aortic arch, blood flows through the left subclavian artery, then into the axillary artery, followed by the brachial artery. From the brachial artery, blood then reaches the radial artery in the forearm, supplying the distal part of the arm and hand with oxygenated blood.
What is the blood vessel that supplies blood to the radius bone and radial nerve?
The radial artery
What blood vessel supply blood to the Radius bone and radial nerve?
Radial Artery
What type of blood vessel makes us feel the pulse?
Carotid Artery Radial Artery Brachial Artery Femoral Artery Popliteal Artery Posterior Tibial Artery Dorsalis Pedis Artery These are the main ones that are checked.
What blood vessel is used to check pulse rate?
The radial pulse is checked for vital signs.
What contributes to the formation of the popliteal vein?
The popliteal vein carries blood from the knee to the thigh and calf muscles and ultimately to the heart. The vein is formed from the merging of the two posterior tibial veins and ends as it merges in to the femoral vein.
What is the name of the artery that supplies blood to your leg?
The posterior tibial artery carries blood to the posterior of the leg. This artery also branches off into the fibular artery, which supplies blood to the lateral compartment of the leg.
When checking a blood pressure the name of artery that is palpated is?
radial is the artery that is palpated when checking a blood pressure
What artery is blood pressure normally taken from?
radial
