The Arteries Characteristics ◼ Symmetry ◼ In the trunk of the body consist parietal and visceral branches ◼ Shortest possible course ❑ Run on flexor surfaces ❑ Usually do not pass directly through muscles, avoiding compression ◼ Together with the veins and nerves in a sheath of fascia to form neurovascular bundle
Pulmonary trunk Arises from right ventricle Runs up back and to the left Bifurcates inferior to aortic arch into right and left pulmonary arteries, one for each lung
Pulmonary trunk ◼ Arises from right ventricle ◼ Runs up, back ,and to the left ◼ Bifurcates inferior to aortic arch into right and left pulmonary arteries, one for each lung
Arterial ligament Remnant of ductus arteriosus A fibrous band that connects bifurcation of pulmonary trunk with inferior border of aortic arch
