The Arteries Characteristics Symmetry In the trunk of the body consist parietal and visceral branches Shortest possible course a Run on flexor surfaces a Usually do not pass directly through muscles, avoiding compression Together with the veins and nerves in a sheath of fascia to form neurovascular bundle
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
