The left anterior tibial vein drains into the veins leading into the inferior vena cava, which empties in the right atrium. The right atrium pumps into the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps this deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary trunk which splits into two branches left and right which transport the doexygenated blood on to vasculature in the lungs. This circuit essentially turns around in the alveolar capillaries where gas exchange occurs, oxygenating this blood and turning it from blue to red. This blood drains into a return system, draining this oxygenated blood from capillary to venule to vein, gathering in the right and left pulmonary vein. (vein doesn't always mean blue blood. Vein means that it is returning to the heart and artery means leaving the heart. In the body system this means that arteries are red and veins are blue, but in the pulmonary circuit, it's the opposite with regard to color. Don't rely on blood color to remember this, rely on direction of transport to and from the heart). The blood enters the left atrium through the mitral valve and into the left ventricle which pumps through the aortic valve into the aorta which feeds the systemic circuit. Off of the aorta there are many branches leading to areas of the body such as the head, upper torso, legs, etc. One of these branches, the brachiocephalic trunk, will split into two branches. The one on the thumb side of the forearm is the right radial artery.

Where is Tibial artery located?

The tibial artery is located in the lower leg and is divided into two main branches: the anterior tibial artery and the posterior tibial artery. The anterior tibial artery runs along the front of the leg and supplies blood to the anterior compartment, while the posterior tibial artery runs along the back, supplying blood to the posterior compartment. Both branches originate from the popliteal artery, which is located behind the knee.


How do you trace the blood from the femoral artery to the right big toe?

Blood flow in the leg begins at the femoral artery. From there, it runs to the popliteal artery, anterior tibial artery, dorsalis pedis artery, and finally, the dorsal metatarsal arteries.


What is the pathway from the heart to the right foot?

Blood goes into the Aorta from the heart. Then enters into Common iliac arteries, external iliac arteries, femoral artery, popliteal artery, and then it goes into the anterior tibial and posterior tibial arteries which supply the foot.


Where can pulse not be felt?

Carotid Artery, Radial Artery, Brachial Artery, Femoral Artery, Popliteal Artery, Posterior Tibial Artery, Dorsalis Pedis Artery. These are the main ones that are checked.

What supplies blood to the gastrocnemius?

The gastrocnemius muscle receives its blood supply primarily from the popliteal artery, which branches into the posterior tibial and anterior tibial arteries. Specifically, the sural arteries, which arise from the popliteal artery, provide the main vascular supply to the gastrocnemius. Additionally, the muscle may receive some blood from the medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries.


Trace blood from aortic arch to left radial artery?

From the aortic arch, blood flows through the left subclavian artery, then into the axillary artery, followed by the brachial artery. From the brachial artery, blood then reaches the radial artery in the forearm, supplying the distal part of the arm and hand with oxygenated blood.


Where is the popilatery artery located?

The popliteal artery is located behind the knee, in the popliteal fossa, which is the shallow depression at the back of the knee joint. It is a continuation of the femoral artery and branches off into the anterior and posterior tibial arteries. This artery is crucial for supplying blood to the lower leg and foot.
