ARM AND LEG ARTERIES: BRANCHES, PULSATION POINTS

Аннотация:

This article is about hand and foot arteries, pulsation points, enriched with general and necessary information. First of all, arteries are blood vessels that leave the heart and aorta and deliver oxygen-rich blood to all organs and tissues in the alveoli of the lungs. Arterial blood passes into venous vessels after a person's death. That is why Hippocrates said that the soul flows through the arteries. Usually, all the vessels leaving the heart (regardless of blood composition) are arteries, and the vessels coming to the heart are veins. A vein that leaves the heart and goes to the lungs (contains venous blood) is the pulmonary artery. The wall of arteries consists of three layers (inner - endothelium, middle - muscle, outer - membrane). Arteries with large diameters have a lot of elastic tissue in their walls. Arteries join together many times to form an arterial network and anastomoses. It acts as a substitute when an artery is injured.
