The major arteries and veins from the left ventricle to the foot and back to the right atrium?
Proximal to distal (arterial) - aorta, common iliac, external iliac, common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal, (trifurcation to) perneal, anterior and posterior tibial, deep plantar, dorsal digital. Distal to proximal (venous) - dorsal digital, great saphenous, external iliac, common iliac, inferior vena cava Proximal to distal (arterial) - aorta, common iliac, external iliac, common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal, (trifurcation to) perneal, anterior and posterior tibial, deep plantar, dorsal digital. Distal to proximal (venous) - dorsal digital, great saphenous, external iliac, common iliac, inferior vena cava
What does the femoral artery look like?
The femoral artery looks like a light-coloured tube about 1cm in diameter that passes down the inside of the thigh alongside the femoral vein and femoral nerve. It is not visible from the skin surface, but a pulse from it can be felt in the femoral triangle. It has branches in the circumflex arteries and the profunda femoris artery, and becomes the popliteal artery after passing through to the back of the leg through the adductor hiatus, a hole in the adductor magnus muscle near the distal end of the thigh.
Which lesion in a coronary artery do physicians normally consider higher risk proximal lesion or distal lesion?
Proximal lesion
What is the right PAV in the coronary arteries of the heart?
''Distal right coronary artery continuation segment (R PAV): The terminal portion of the right coronary artery in a right dominant circulation. This segment lies in or near the atrioventricular (AV) groove and gives rise to a variable number of right posterolateral segments. This segment is the terminal portion of the right coronary artery and begins at the bifurcation of the distal RCA and PDA and gives rise to the AV nodal artery as well.
Which artery supplies the distal areas of the large intestines?
Colic arteries supply blood to colon.Human colon has different portions (ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and sigmoid colon).Right colic artery supplies blood to ascending colon.Middle colic artery supplies blood to tranverse colon.Left colic artery supplies blood to the descending colon.Sigmoid arteries (two or three) supplies blood to sigmoid colon.The right colic and middle colic arteries are branches of superior mesentric artery.The left coliac artery and sigmoid arteries are branches of inferior esentric artery.

What does it mean if a doctor says he or she is about to dissect the distal end of the popliteal artery?
Cut the end of the artery going into the back of you knee at the far end of the artery.
Which lesion in a coronary artery do physicians normally consider higher risk proximal lesion or distal lesion?
Proximal lesion
Where do they cut your femoral artery for cardiac cath?
They do not cut your femoral artery for a cardiac catheterization. They use a needle to puncture it, pass an introducer and then guidewires, etc, into the arterial circulation. The point of entry is in the femoral artery, usually just distal to the inguinal ligament in your groin.
Is the tarsal region distal to popliteal region?
The proximal tarsal region is the ankle area closest to the leg and farthest from the foot. The talus is the most proximal of the tarsals.
What is the opposite of proximal?
The term most opposite of proximal is "distal."
Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
The hand is distal, because your hand is drawing away from your body. Proximal means closer to the body.Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
Is the shoulder proximal or distal to the wrist?
Proximal vs. distal, is in reference to the Point of attachment to the axial skeleton. So the shoulder is proximal to the wrist, or the wrist is distal to the shoulder. Distal= further away Proximal= closer
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the shoulder?
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.
Is the head distal or proximal to the shoulders?
Proximal
