You have the axillary artery which supply the upper limb. It is continuation of subclavian artery and continue as a brachial artery.

A blood vessel must have broken during the night.
What happens in the right atrium?
The atria are the two upper chambers of the heart (the ventricles are the lower two) The atria are the 'filling' chambers, so blood entering the heart passes through the atria first, which then push it down into the ventricles. The two largest veins in the body (the superior and inferior venae cavae) empty deoxygenated blood returning from the body into the right atrium. The right atrium then contracts, pushing the blood into the right ventricle. The right ventricle then pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs where it is oxygenated. After leaving the lungs, the newly oxygenated blood is returned via the pulmonary veins into the left atrium. The left atrium then contracts and pushes the blood into the left ventricle, which pumps the oxygenated blood around the rest of the body.
Why are the walls of the lower chambers of the heart thicker and more muscular than the walls of the upper chambers?
Some terminology first: The upper chambers = atria (singular atrium) The lower chambers = ventricles The atria are responsible for receiving blood: the right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body and the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs. The atria only pump this blood into the ventricles and therefore do not need particularly thick muscular walls. The ventricles on the other hand are responsible for pumping the blood received from the atria to the body. The right ventricle pumps the deoxygenated blood it receives from the right atrium out of the heart and into the lungs. On the other hand, the left ventricle is responsible for pumping the oxygenated blood received by the left atrium to the rest of the body. It is because of the this that the walls on the side of left ventricle are the thickest. The left ventricle requires "more muscle" than the right ventricle as the distance it has to pump the blood is far greater. So, SHORT ANSWER: The walls of the lower chambers/ventricles are thicker and more muscular than the walls of the upper chambers/atria because they have to pump blood out of the heart and to the body as opposed to the atria which only receive blood from the body and then pump into the ventricles.
What happen to the blood in the right atrium?
a little oxygen and a lot of carbon dioxide
What system transports oxygenated blood to all parts of the body?
Oxygenated blood does not get into your body. Deoxygenated(no oxygen in the blood) blood is oxygenated when it travels to the lungs from the right side of the heart. In the lungs, carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen; we breathe out the CO2 while the )2 is carried in oxygenated blood that goes back to the left side of the heart which then pumps the oxygenated blood throughout the body. This process is continuous and overlapping; with every breath we exchange CO2 for O2 and the process continues.
What vessel carries blood to the arm and shoulders?
Well, oxygenated blood from the left ventricleleaves the hearth through the Aorta. It is their where the oxygenated blood in the Artery (only arteries carry oxygenated blood) takes it to the upper/fore limbs (the arms).I hope this helps you. im doing A level Biology. FascinatingJosh
What is the name of the major blood vessel that delivers deoxygenerated blood from the suerior half of the body into the right atrium of the heart?
The superior vena cava supplies the deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body into the right atrium
What is the name of the vessel which carries blood to the heart tissue?
There are three: The Superior Vena Cava carries de-oxygenated blood from the upper half of the body to the heart. The Inferior Vena Cava carries de-oxygenated blood from the lower half of the body to the heart. The Coronary Artery carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What are the arteries and veins in the heart?
Arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.Veins are the blood vessels that carry blood towards the heart.2 Pulmonary arteries that carry De oxygenated blood to the right and left lung.Aorta that carry oxygenated blood to the rest of the parts of the body other than the lungs.4 Pulmonary veins that bring oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs.Superior and inferior Vena cava that bring oxygenated blood to the heart from the upper and lower parts of the human body respectively.In addition the carotid artery which branches from the aorta supplies oxygenated blood to the heart wall.
Which vessel carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right side of the heart?
The Superior Vena Cava carries the collected de-oxygenated blood to where it joins the Inferior Vena Cava- which drains the lower part of the body - to form a short common vessel which enters the right atrium of the heart, passes through the Tricuspid Valve into the right ventricle, from where it is ejected through the Pulmonary Valve into the Pulmonary Artery.---> The PULMONARY ARTERY is the only artery in the body which carries de-oxygenated blood.
What artery supplies blood to the upper digestive organs?
celiac
What are the four divisions in the human heart?
the upper and lower part upper part- recives unoxygnated blood and release the oxygenated blood to the whole body system. lower part- or pumping station it recive the unoxygnated blood and the lower part will make it oxygenated blood.
What is the function of the axillary arteries?
The axillary artery moves oxygenated blood to the the upper limbs, axilla and thorax. :)
What is the regular wave like movement of the blood pumped by the heart through the blood vessel?
upper chambers of the heart
What is your left atria?
The left atrium is the upper chamber on the left side of the heart. It receives oxygenated blood from the lungs.
What is the name of the blood vessel Carry blood to the heart?
There are three blood vessels that carry blood to the heart in deoxygenated form. Superior vena cava that carries blood from upper parts of the body like brain etc. Then there is inferior vena cava that carries blood from lower body parts like legs etc. Last is pulmonary vein that brings oxygenated blood from lungs to the heart.
What is the upper part of the heart?
The heart is divided into four compartments. The two upper portions where blood enters the heart from the body and lungs are the atria. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium, and oxygenated blood from the lungs enter the left atrium.
