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.
What branches into medial ulnar and lateral radial arteries?
The brachial artery branches into the ulnar and radial arteries. The brachial artery is the main artery of the arm.
What artery supplies blood to the head of the femur?
Medial Femoral Circumflex... Without this artery blood supply to the head of the femur is cut off and the head of the femur will die
Description of arteries?
Arteries carry blood from the heart. The main one is the Aorta which carries blood all over the body by branching into the carotid arteries (head), femoral arteries (legs), brachial arteries (arms) and so on. The other main artery is the pulmonary artery which takes blood to the lungs.
What is the artery above the medial malleolus?
Posterior tibial artery.
What are the three compartments of the knee?
1. Medial Compartment 2. Lateral Compartment 3. Patello-Femoral Compartment
Three veins that contribute to the anastomosis of the hip joint?
There are 2 anastomosis of the hip joint, a cruciate and trochanteric. I'm not sure about the veins which contribute to the hip joint but i can tell you the arteries and maybe that will help you trace down the venous drainage. Cruciate: inferior gluteal a. lateral circumflex femoral a. medial circumflex femoral a. the first perforating a. of profunda femoris Trochanteric: medial circumflex femoral a. lateral circumflex femoral a. superior gluteal a. inferior gluteal a. a. = artery by the way Hope this helps :D

What ligament is on the knee area posterior side of femur on tibia?
Four ligaments are present in the knee joint, the medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, and posterior cruciate ligament. The medial collateral ligament is located at the inside of the knee joint. It extends from the medial femoral epicondyle to the tibia. The lateral collateral ligament is located at the outside of the knee joint. It extends from the lateral femoral epicondyle to the head of the fibula. The anterior cruciate ligament extends posterolaterally from the tibia and inserts on the lateral femoral condyle. The posterior cruciate ligament extends anteromedially from the tibia posterior to the medial femoral condyle.

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 is medial femoral condyle and can it be treated?
The medial femoral condyle is a normal part of the human body.
Are the thoracic vertebrae medial or lateral to the scapula?
You can describe them as medial to the scapula.
What is difference between mid point of inguinal ligament and mid inguinal point?
The midpoint of the inguinal ligament and the mid-inguinal point are two different anatomical landmarks in the inguinal region. In order to understand the difference, some simple anatomical knowledge must be clarified.The inguinal ligament stretches from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the pubic tubercle. The pubic symphysis lies just medial to the pubic tubercle and is the fibrous joint between the two halves of the pelvis.Running under the inguinal ligament from medial to lateral are: femoral canal (a potential space that contains mainly lymphatics), femoral vein, femoral artery and femoral nerve.The midpoint of the inguinal ligament is half way between the ASIS and the pubic tubercle and is the location of the femoral nerve. This landmark is used in femoral nerve blocks.The mid-inguinal point is half way between the ASIS and the pubic symphysis and is the location of the femoral artery. This landmark is used in palpation of the femoral pulse.In relation to each other, the mid-inguinal point is more medial than the midpoint of the inguinal ligament.
What veins is usually used to take a pulse?
The Radial artery is used when taking a persons pulse.
