Why use trendelenburg position for anaphylactic shock?
The Trendelenburg position is used for patients in shock to increase blood flow, by gravity, from the major vessels in the lower extremities to the brain to help increase the blood pressure enough to keep the patient stable until advanced medical care is available.

What vessels drains blood from the lower leg?
The great saphenous vein is the major superficial vein of the medial leg and thigh. It is the longest vein in the human body, extending from the top of the foot to the upper thigh and groin.
The three major parts of circulatory system?
The SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION transfers oxygenated blood from a central pump (the heart) to all of the body tissues (systemic arterial system) and returns deoxygenated blood with a high carbon dioxide content from the tissues to the central pump (systemic venous system). The PULMONARY CIRCULATION is where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between the blood and alveolar air occurs. The PORTAL CIRCULATION normally is only one capillary bed for each branch of a circuit, however, there are a few instances where there are two capillary beds, one after each other, in series. hope this helps^_^
Where does the red blood cell pick up oxygen?
The general rule is that arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry deoxygenated blood. The rule has one pair of exceptions, though, and that is the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein. The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood, and the pulmonary vein carries oxygen-enriched blood. Each of the four heart chambers (two atria and two ventricles) has a major blood vessel either leading into it or out of it. In other words, each chamber is either pumping blood out of the heart or drawing blood into it. In the case of the pulmonary artery, it is connected to the heart's right ventricle. When the right ventricle contracts it pumps blood out into the pulmonary artery, which leads to the lungs. The blood that is delivered to the right ventricle is oxygen poor blood that has returned from all parts of the body. Once it has arrived at the fine network of blood vessels in the lung tissue, blood gives off carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen. The network of vessels in the lungs leads to larger and larger vessels that eventually become the pulmonary vein (following the direction of blood flow toward the heart). The pulmonary vein leads to the heart's left atrium, a chamber that delivers oxygen rich blood to the left ventricle. When the left ventricle contracts, newly oxygenated blood is pumped through a large vessel called the aorta. The aorta branches out into a network of arteries and leads to smaller and smaller vessels that connect to all parts of the body. The oxygenated blood is delivered once again to supply the body with needed oxygen. Just as in lung tissue, the network of vessels (the finest being capillaries) leading from the heart is continuous with those leading back to the heart. Thus, the circulatory system in its entirety is a circuit. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) contain the complex, iron-based protein compound called hemoglobin. The erythrocytes, and the hemoglobin they contain, function to bind oxygen and carbon dioxide, releasing carbon dioxide into and picking up oxygen from the lungs.
