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.

What path does drop of the blood follow from entering the heart to leaving the heart through the aorta?
pumping
Trace the path of a red blood cell from the lungs to the aorta?
Trace a drop of blood from the left knee to the right arm
What path does a drop of blood follow from entering the heart to leaving the heart through the aorta?
From the vena cava, blood travels into the right atrium, then the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. The pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood back to the left atrium. The blood flows from the left atrium into the left ventricle which pumps the blood through the aorta and to the rest of the body.
What is the path one blood cell takes throughout circulatory system starting at right atrium and ending at capillaries?
The path a blood cell takes throughout the circulatory system starting at the right atrium and ending at the capillaries is called a ventricle.
The general pathway of blood flow is?
The general blood flow path is from the aorta to the heart. The blood will then leave the heart and flow throughout the rest of the body. This path of blood happens every time the heart beats.
Briefly describe the path that oxygen follows in your respiratory system and your circulatory system?
Nose, Pharynx, Larynx, trachea, bronchi, Lungs, Aveoli, Capillary walls, into blood, Left Atrium, Left Ventricle, Aorta, Body.
What is the path blood follows from the brain to the heart?
its mainly aorta and sub-divided artery is caroted artery
Are veins connected to the capillaries?
In order, your blood follows this general path as it is traveling from arteries to veins: 1. Conducting arteries (aorta) 2. Muscular arteries 3. Arterioles 4. Capillaries 5. Venules 6. Veins
What is the blood flow path from the mitral valve to the great toe?
From mitral valve the blood will go to left ventricle. From there, the blood will go to ascending aorta. Then arch of aorta. Then descending aorta. Then abdominal aorta. Then to common iliac artery. then to external iliac artery. Which continue as the femoral artery. Then popliteal artery. Then posterior tibial artery. Then medial and lateral planter arteries. Then the branches will go to your great toe.
Trace a drop of blood from the aortic arch to the brain?
The common path is aortic arch > brachiocephalic artery > internal carotid arteryThe internal carotid artery branches off to provide blood to different regions of the brain e.g. ophthalmic, anterior/middle/posterior cerebral
Describe the path blood follows through the systematic circulation loop?
In the systemic circulation, blood leave the left atrium, passes through the bicuspid valve, and enters the left ventricle. From there it is pumped to the aorta and to progressively smaller arteries. Materials diffuse at the capillaries, and blood returns to the heart via progressively larger veins to the vena cava. When the vena cava carries blood to the right atrium, the blood is entering the pulmonary circulation loop.
What is tortuous aorta?
Tortuous aorta is a pathological condition where the aorta has an irregular shape, usually contorted, and can affect blood flow coming out of the heart and to the body tissues.
