Anatomy of Blood Vessels

This video tutorial provides a detailed walkthrough of the fetal pig dissection for Bio 139 at BCTC. It covers the identification and examination of major veins and arteries, including the jugular veins, brachiocephalic vein, renal veins, inferior vena cava, subclavian arteries, aorta, pulmonary trunk, abdominal aorta, femoral arteries, and umbilical arteries. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of anatomical positioning and the need to specify right or left for each vessel. The video also highlights the use of images to aid in understanding the dissection process.

What is the primary focus of the fetal pig dissection tutorial?

• Learning about the pig's digestive system

• Identifying the larger blood vessels

• Studying the pig's skeletal structure

• Understanding the pig's nervous system

Which vein is responsible for draining blood away from the brain?

• Inferior vena cava

• Superior vena cava

• Brachiocephalic vein

• External jugular vein

Where do the right and left internal jugular veins run in relation to the external jugular veins?

• Behind the external jugular veins

• Next to the external jugular veins

• Below the external jugular veins

• Above the external jugular veins

What is the function of the left renal vein?

• To filter blood in the kidney

• To supply blood to the kidney

• To drain blood from the kidney

• To connect the kidney to the heart

Which large blood vessel do the renal veins connect to?

• Pulmonary trunk

• Inferior vena cava

• Aorta

• Superior vena cava

What is the significance of the subclavian arteries?

• They supply blood to the brain

• They drain blood from the arms

• They run below the clavicle

• They connect to the pulmonary trunk

Which artery is known as the largest vessel in the body?

• Brachiocephalic artery

• Pulmonary trunk

• Femoral artery

• Aorta

What is the role of the abdominal aorta?

• To distribute blood to the lower body

• To drain blood from the lower body

• To supply blood to the upper body

• To connect the heart to the lungs

Where are the femoral arteries located in relation to the pig's body?

• In the upper leg

• In the neck

• In the abdomen

• In the chest

What is the significance of the umbilical arteries in the fetal pig?

• They connect to the pig's navel

• They supply blood to the brain

• They drain blood from the heart

• They are part of the digestive system
