How do I trace blood from the ascending aorta to the lower right first molar?

The first thing is to determine what artery provides blood to the lower right first molar. The lower teeth sit in the mandible and are supplied by branches of the The major artery in the mandible supplying the teeth is the inferior alveolar artery, which sends branches to supply the roots of each tooth (including the first molar) in the lower jaw. Next is to find the origin of the inferior alveolar artery and work backwards until we get to the ascending aorta. The inferior alveolar artery is a branch of the internal maxillary artery, which itself is a branch of the external carotid artery. The external carotid artery is a branch of the common carotid artery. So far everything has been symmetrical, so it hasn't mattered whether we specified that the artery was on the right or the left side. But the common carotid arteries behave a little differently. The right common carotid is a branch of the innominate artery, which branches from the aortic arch. The left common carotid artery branches directly from the aortic arch. Since we're concerned with the lower right first molar, we'll work backwards from the right common carotid, innominate artery, and aortic arch. The last bit is just to know that the aortic arch is an extension of the ascending aorta. With that, we're done. Now we just sew the whole thing together, artery by artery, in the reverse order: Ascending aorta -> aortic arch -> innominate artery -> right common carotid artery -> right external carotid artery -> right internal maxillary artery -> right inferior alveolar artery -> branch to lower right first molar.


What organ is distal to the stomach?

The stomach ends at the pyloric sphincter. On the other side of the sphincter is the small intestine. It has three parts and they are, in order, duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. Then there is another sphincter called the ileocecal sphincter. This then leads into the first part of the colon called the cecum. It is sometimes referred to as a blind pouch because the entrance into the cecum is from behind. Underneath the cecum is the vermiform appendix, which is most often just called the appendix. Then the next part is the ascending colon which makes a turn to the left at the hepatic flexure and turns into the transverse colon. At the upper left side of the abdomen, the colon makes another change of direction downward at the splenic flexure and is now called the descending colon. The next turn it makes goes deeper into the abdomen and is called the sigmoid flexure which marks the beginning of the sigmoid colon. It then makes a downward turn and becomes the rectum which leads to the anal canal and finally the anus. The anus has two sphincters, the internal anal sphincter which is involuntary, and the external anal sphincter which is under voluntary control.

What is the difference between colon and large intestines?

Colon is divided into several distinct regions, ascending colon, right colic flexure, transverse colon, left colic flexure, descending colon, sigmoid colon. The Colon is part of the large intestine.Large intestine is connected to small intestine through ileocecal valve and is about 5 feet long. It ends at the anus, encircles small intestine on 3 sides and has subdivisions called the cecum, vermiform, appendix, colon, rectum, anal canal.There is no difference between the colon and large intestine. Colon is just another word for large intestine.Actually: The colon is the largest part of the large intestine, there is a descending, transverse, and ascending colon, right and left colic flexure, as well as the sigmoid colon, these are all parts of the colon.However the colon is not the only part of the large intestine, there are also the cecum, vermiform appendix, rectum, and anal canal.Therefore the colon carries it towards the rectum, but the rectum is not part of the colon.


What organs are in the 4 quadrants in the abdomen?

There are four quadrants in the abdomen (quad meaning four) they are:* Right upper quadrant * Left upper quadrant * Right lower quadrant * Left lower quadrant The areas of the abdomen can also be described in more detail by dividing it into nine regions:* The umbilical region this is the middle region which surrounds the umbilicus. The umbilical region contains the transverse colon of the large intestine * The epigastric region this is the region just above (superior to) the umbilical region and contains the stomach * The hypogastric (or pubic) region is just under (inferior to) the umbilical region and contains the urinary bladder and the appendix * The right iliac (or inguinal) region is located to the right of the hypogastric region and contains the caecum. * The left iliac (inguinal) region is located to the left of the hypogastric region and contains the initial part of the sigmoid colon * The right lumbar region is to the right of the umbilical region (and above the right iliac region) and contains the ascending colon of the large intestine * The left lumbar region is to the left of the umbilical region (and above the left iliac region) and contains the descending colon of the large intestine * The right hypochondriac region is to the right of the epigastric region (and above the right lumbar region) and contains the liver and the gallbladder * The left hypochondriac region is to the left of the epigastric region (and above the left lumbar region) and contains part of the stomach and part of the descending colon.


Where is the large intestine found in the human body?

In the abdominal cavity. The first part is called the cecum and it is in the Lower Right Quadrant, just inside your hip bone, the next part is the ascending colon and it goes up at an angle up to about your 10th rib, then the transverse colon goes across the front of your abdomen under the ribs and above the naval (belly button) to your left side about the 10th rib, and then it goes down to just inside your other hip bone and becomes the descending colon. The next part is called the sigmoid colon and it makes an S-shape that goes deeper into your abdomen and then becomes the rectum. The last part is an opening called the anus.


Part of the large intestine that stores solid waste?

The rectum.After food is transported out of the stomach it first enters the small intestines and then the large intestines. The large intestines, or colon, consists of the cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon (shaped like a sideways 'S') which ends with the rectum. Unless the rectum becomes overburdened, it will store the waste until it is voluntarily excreted via the anus.
