The Aorta
There is a diagonal artery that is a branch of the left coronary artery on the surface of the heart. It is a diagonal artery simply because it runs diagonally across the anterior (front) of the heart.
The largest artery (leading away from the heart) in the body runs along the femur bone, in your leg. Checking the femoral pulse in this artery can tell you if someone with a faint pulse is still with us.
The femoral artery runs from the heart to the feet!
The Aorta has a vein that runs from the heart to the right foot, hence the Dorsalis pedis.
The carotid artery runs from the heart to the brain - via the neck. It's the pulse you can feel if you place your finger at the side of your throat.
The pulmonary artery is the primary artery going to the heart; very basically- it transports the blood below the heart. The aorta runs above the heart and is actually the largest artery, but it handles less blood as it has a smaller area to cover.
The purpose of the femoral artery is to circulate blood around the thigh area as well as provide blood to the knees and feet. This process is critical as cells within the body require oxygen to survive and blood carries this oxygen to them.
The right coronary artery supplies blood to the right atrium and most of the right ventricle. It branches off from the aorta and runs along the surface of the heart, providing oxygenated blood to these areas.
the blood runs through your body and in to your heart
The left coronary artery, or the anterior interrventricular branch supplies oxygenated blood between both ventricles. It runs straight down the center of the heart.
The popliteal vein course runs alongside the popliteal artery but carries the blood from the knee joint and muscles in the thigh and calf back to the heart.
