What else can I help you with?
What veins join to form the superior vena cava before emptying into the right atrium?
brachiocephalic veins
The brachiocephalic veins take blood to what vessel?
To transport de-oxygenated blood to the lungs.
What joins to form the inferior vena cava?
The common iliac veins
Where does the blood flows to after the cappilaries?
After passing through the capillaries, blood flows into venules, which then merge to form veins. Veins carry the blood back to the heart, where it can be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation and then circulated throughout the body again.
What are the veins that carry blood to the kidneys?
The renal vein (renal = Kidney in Latin).
What vessels course posterior to the inferior vena cava?
The right and left common Iliac Vein merge to form the inferior vena cava
What does the blood collect from the lungs then returns it to the heart?
The superior vena cava collects deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body, and the inferior vena cava collects fromt the lower half of the body.
Which are the two veins that form hepatic portal vein?
The two veins that form hepatic portal vein are the splenic vein and the superior mesenteric vein. These veins usually receive blood from the inferior mesenteric, gastric, and cystic veins.
What is the final step in the path of blood flow through the spleen?
Blood collects into small veins that in turn merge to form trabecular veins
Locate the veins that join to form the anterior vena cava?
internal thoracic R/L, subclavian R/L, brachiocephalic R/L, external jugular R/L, internal jugular R/L, axilary R/L
Join to form the inferior vena cava?
The distal end of the inferior vena cava is formed by the junction of the paired common iliac veins (Marieb, Elaine- A&P)
What returns form the veins to body tissues to the heart?
Deoxygenated blood returns from the body tissues to the heart through the veins. This blood is collected from smaller venules that merge into larger veins, ultimately draining into the superior and inferior vena cavae. These large veins empty the deoxygenated blood into the right atrium of the heart, where it is then directed to the right ventricle for pulmonary circulation to receive oxygen.
