Systemic arteries

The video tutorial by Dr. Morton covers the anatomy and function of systemic arteries, explaining their role in transporting oxygenated blood from the heart to various tissues. It details the primary systemic arteries, including the aortic arch and its branches, and discusses the concept of pulse and blood pressure measurement. The tutorial also explores the aorta's structure and its major branches, such as the thoracic and abdominal aorta, and concludes with a summary of key pulses and systemic arteries.
