heart
When viewing the heart in anatomical position, this chamber is most anterior and lies just behind the sternum.
What is the right ventricle
This large artery runs down the center of the chest and abdomen, giving off branches to major organs before splitting into the common iliac arteries.
What is the descending aorta
This large vein returns deoxygenated blood from the body above the diaphragm to the right atrium.
What is the superior vena cava?
This large, flat bone forms the anterior portion of the pelvis and meets the ischium and pubis at the acetabulum.
What is the Illium?
This anterior thigh muscle is the only part of the quadriceps group that crosses both the hip and knee joints, allowing it to flex the hip and extend the knee.
What is rectus femoris?
This chamber is found on the posterior surface of the heart and receives oxygenated blood returning from the lungs.
What is the left atrium
Found in the neck, these paired arteries branch from the common carotids and supply blood to the brain through the carotid canal.
What are the internal carotid arteries?
This vein runs along the medial side of the arm, often used for venipuncture, and drains into the axillary vein.
What is the basilic vein?
This cup-shaped depression on the lateral pelvis forms the socket for the head of the femur.
What is the acetabulum?
This long, strap-like muscle runs diagonally across the thigh and helps flex, abduct, and laterally rotate the hip.
What is the sartorius?
This groove on the surface of the heart marks the separation between the atria and ventricles and contains the coronary arteries.
What is the or atrioventricular groove?
In the upper arm, this artery continues from the axillary artery and is commonly used to measure blood pressure.
What is the brachial artery?
These paired veins in the neck drain blood from the brain and superficial head structures and empty into the brachiocephalic veins.
What are the internal and external jugular veins?
Located on the anterior surface of the femur just below the neck, it is a small bump.
What is the lesser trochanter?
Located on the medial thigh, this muscle group adducts the hip and includes the adductor longus, adductor brevis, and adductor magnus.
What are the adductors?
This large vessel emerges from the right ventricle, carrying deoxygenated blood toward the lungs, and can be identified by its anterior and central location.
What is the pulmonary trunk
After passing behind the knee, the femoral artery becomes this vessel, which branches into the anterior and posterior tibial arteries of the leg.
What is the popliteal artery?
The vein most commonly used for drawing blood
What is the median cubital vein?
This large, rough projection on the proximal, lateral tibia is the attachment site for the patellar ligament.
What is the tibial tuberosity?
This lateral thigh muscle inserts into the iliotibial (IT) band and helps stabilize the hip and knee during walking.
What is the tensor fasciae latae?
Four openings that can be seen entering the left atrium — they carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs.
What are the pulmonary veins?
This short artery arises from the abdominal aorta just below the diaphragm and gives off three main branches — the left gastric, splenic, and common hepatic arteries.
What is the celiac trunk?
This superficial vein runs along the medial side of the leg and thigh, is the longest vein in the body, and is often harvested for coronary bypass surgery.
What is the great saphenous vein?
This posterior, bony ridge on the femur runs down the shaft and serves as an attachment for several thigh muscles, including the adductors.
What is the linea aspera?
Found on the posterior thigh, this muscle originates on the ischial tuberosity and inserts on the medial surface of the tibia; it flexes the knee and extends the hip.
What is semitendinosus?
