Arteries and Veins of the Neck

This model shows the major arteries and veins of the neck Try to identify the arteries. Please use my large typed numbers and not the models that came with the model. When done be sure to see the head model and the torso model for the arteries and veins of the neck and head. Lastly, I put on some lymphatic structures. These would be asked on the lymphatic system quiz.

Notes

  • It is jugular vein and carotid artery!
  • Veins are bilaterally symmetrical. They are on both sides.
  • There is only 1 brachiocephalic artery. This artery leaves the arch of the aorta and splits into the right common carotid and right subclavian artery.
  • The left common carotid artery leaves the aortic arch by itself.
  • The left subclavian artery leaves the aortic arch by itself.
  • I think the vertebral arteries and the internal carotid can be seen you have to look carefully.
  • The jugular and subclavian trunks are on both sides.
  • The bronchomediastinal trunk is the hand written 30. I don't think it is on the other side of this model
