Part 1: I do not know anything about this particular blood vessel but I know that blood vessels are the tubes that carry blood through the tissues and organs of the body

Part 2: The common iliac blood vessel is a set of 2 major blood vessels that carry blood to the lower part of the body including the pelvis, reproductive organs, and legs. It branches from the abdominal aorta in the right and left iliac arteries. These further branch off into an external and internal iliac artery on either sides of the body which supply blood to the legs, feet, bladder, rectum, hips, and reproductive organs including the groin and buttocks.

1. Already know: I know that the common carotid artery is in the neck, on either the left or right side.
The common carotid artery supplies blood to the head and neck. This artery acts as the primary source of blood transported to the brain and face. It is through this particular artery that oxygenated blood is sent back to organs and tissues in that region. The left common carotid begins at the aortic arch (the thorax) and the right common carotid begins at the brachiocephalic artery (the neck).  These arteries travel from the upper chest to the skull to branch into two more arteries: external and internal. They bifurcate in the neck, into the internal carotid artery which supplies the brain (ICA) and the external carotid artery which supplies the neck and face (ECA).

I already know that the subclavian arteries lie beneath the clavicle because "sub" means below/beneath, and "clavian" is referring to the clavicle. These arteries provide blood supply to the bilateral upper extremities (upper limbs, thorax, neck, and brain) with contributions to the head and neck. The subclavian artery can be divided into three segments that include the prescalene, retroscalene, and postscaler parts.

already know: arteries always carry blood away from the heart
external iliac artery:
Supplies blood to the legs and feet. Also provides blood for all muscles around the pelvic region. This artery acts as a short conduit for blood flow between the common iliac and common femoral arteries. Primary function of the veins near it are to drain deoxygenated blood and return it to the heart. In terms of location it is the larger branch of Common Iliac artery. These can both be found by the reproductive organs.

I was unfamiliar with this artery, and I did not know what it did until I conducted research.
This artery's primary function is to supply blood to the heart. The Coronary arteries are divided into left and right coronary arteries that each bring blood to their respective ventricle. This piece of the heart is very important because it delivers much needed nutrients and oxygen to the heart. Because of this, this web of arteries becomes very important in supporting the heart's functions and maintaining homeostasis. Due to its importance in all of the heart's functions, many common types of heart disease target this area specifically. When this area is blocked during Coronary Artery disease, the supplies mentioned before cannot make it to the heart and jeopardizes the person suffering from the disease.

The coronary artery is a blood vessel that supplies oxygen rich blood to the heart muscle. It can be found at the surface of the heart. It provides the heart muscle with oxygen which makes the artery essential for the heart to function properly. Moreover, the arteries wrap around the outside of the heart to carry away oxygen depleted blood A heart attack could be caused if a coronary artery becomes blocked. Additionally, you should maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent coronary artery disease. This disease could be caused by smoking, high blood pressure, or even obesity. Treatment for this disease requires surgery.

Inferior vena cava
#1. I have no prior knowledge about the inferior vena cava.
#2.The inferior vena cava is a large blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood to the right atrium of the heart. The inferior vena cava is extremely important to the heart. If it stops working blood will pool in the IVC. This leads to many issues including death. The IVC takes the blood from lower extremities. For example, the leg, ankle, and foot. It also takes blood from the abdomen and all of this blood is brought to the right atrium of the heart. A fun fact about the IVC is that it has the largest diameter of the venous system.

The Axillary Artery is a major blood vessel that runs through the armpit. It is the continuation of the Subclavian Artery and begins at the lateral border of the first rib. The Axillary Artery gives rise to several branches such as, Thoracoacromial Artery, Lateral Thoracic Artery and the Subscapular Artery. These branches supply blood to the chest, wall shoulder, and back. The Axillary Artery is used to divide the upper limb into three regions which are the axilla, the arm, and the forearm. The Axillary Artery is vulnerable to injury like dislocations of the shoulder and fractures of the clavicle. Damage to the Axillary Artery can result in serious complications. It is important to know a lot about this artery so you can be able to diagnose and treat an injury to the upper limb.

Part 1: Major blood vessels help circulate the blood around our body.
Part 2: The ascending aorta is the first part of the aorta. This pumps blood from the heart to the aorta arch down to the descending aorta. The ascending aorta carries the blood, that was oxygenated, from the left ventricle to the rest of the body. It oxygenates from our brains to our digestive tract. The aorta is basically a pipe that gets blood to the rest of the body. The ascending aorta sits on top of the left ventricle and goes up and around the heart. It is between 5 to 8 centimeters, and is 3 to 4 centimeters wide.

Blood vessels are structures all throughout are body that carry blood between tissues and organs. The superior vena cava is located on the right side of your heart. Its main responsibility is returning deoxygenated blood from the body back to the right atrium. After it has passed through the right atrium and right ventricle, it will go to the lungs to become oxygenated again. It is only responsible for the blood that is around the head, neck, chest and arms, and runs vertically down the side of the heart. It has a width of 2cm and length of 7cm.

Blood vessels are tubes that circulate blood to all parts of the body. Vessels also transport nutrients throughout the body and remove waste from all organs and tissues. The ulnar artery is a major blood vessel located in the arm. It is one of the two branches of the brachial artery. The blood vessel starts just below the elbow. The ulnar artery runs along the outside of the forearm or also known as ulna bone. This blood vessel is responsible for supplying rich blood through the forearm, wrist, and hands. The ulnar artery can be felt by placing two fingers on the wrist inferior to the pinky finger.

What i already know is that the aorta artery is the main artery.
The aorta artery carries away the blood from your heart and spreads it through your entire body. The location of the aorta is at the left ventricle of the heart. The aorta travels down from the chest downward to the abdomen. The aorta then splits in two forming the iliac arteries. The bottom of the aorta can be found just above the pelvis. The aorta length is about a foot long. The length of the aorta makes this the largest artery in the body. The aorta also delivers nutrients and hormones.

I already know that the radial bone is the bone on the side of the thumb. The radial artery is one of the two continuations of the brachial artery (the other one being the ulnar artery). It is a blood vessel that supplies blood to the forearm and hand. The radial artery is a part of a network or blood vessels that circulate blood to the heart and rest of the body. It supplies the anterior compartment of the forearm. It originates as a bifurcation of the axillary artery in the cubital fossa. It serves as a major perforator of the forearm. The radial artery can supply oxygenated blood to the elbow joint, forearm muscles, index fingers and thumb, radial nerves, and wrist bones and joints. It runs on the inside of the forearm from the elbow to the thumb and lies under the surface of the skin.

The femoral artery is located in the thigh, this is in the name "femoral" which relates to the femur. The Femoral Artery is the main blood supply to the lower extremities like the foot and leg. The femoral artery is a deep artery, meaning it is below both tissue and muscle. The Femoral Artery is used alot when doctors need access to the heart after someone has a heart attack. Doctors go through this artery to place stents. The Femoral artery is approximately 4 cm in length, but this can vary by sex, ethnicity, and age. Overall the Femoral Artery is one of the most crucial arteries in our body.

The axillary artery is a large muscular vessel that travels through the axilla. It is responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood to the upper limb, as well as to parts of the musculocutaneous system of the scapula and the upper lateral thorax. The axillary artery is divided into three parts, suprapectoral, retropectoral, and infrapectoral. Suprapectoral is the lateral edge of the first rib to superior border of pectoralis major. Retropectoral is posterior to pectoralis minor. Infrapectoral is the inferior border of pectoralis minor to inferior border of teres major. The axillary artery is a continuation to the subclavian artery, has many branches and mnemonics. accompanied by the axillary vein, and is part of the axilla, upper limb, and lateral thoracic region. If the axillary artery is damaged, it is presented with neurovascular signs and symptoms such as coldness, pallor, pulseless extremity, and delayed. This happens when oxygen-rich blood is not carried to the upper limb. Therefore, the axillary artery is important because it carries all the blood to the upper limb.

I already know that the term "renal" refers to the kidney. The Renal artery is the main blood vessel that supplies blood to a kidney and its nearby adrenal gland and ureter. There are two renal arteries, one for each kidney. Nephrons, Glomerulli, Tubules, and the Renal vein are the branches of the renal artery. The renal artery carries oxygenated and unfiltered blood from the aorta to the kidney. Diabetes and high blood pressure can affect the function of the renal artery, causing Kidney failure. Ways to prevent the destruction of the renal artery is by eating healthier, exercise, and manage diabetes.

Already know:
-carries blood towards and away from the heart
-vein carry oxygenated blood towards the heart
-artteries carry blood away from the heart
Addominal aorta:
- enters the abdomin through the diaphram and continued to just below the umbilical cord area
- supplies oxygenated blood to most of the body
- mainly carries blood to stomach, liver, pancrease, spleen, small, and large intestines, and reproductive glands,

The artery originates in the groin and runs down each leg, stopping right around the knee so that the tissue gets enough blood to be provided with oxygen and nutrients. More specifically, it starts at the top of the thigh in an area called the femoral triangle. This triangle is super important because it is most prominent for hip flexion, abduction and internal rotation. The femoral artery is a major blood vessel and carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart. It is how the blood is circulated through the legs. If this artery gets blocked, it can lead to fatigue and painful cramping in the calf muscles when walking. Worse case scenario, the leg would have to be amputated because of the lack of blood supply. However, it is uncommon to rupture the femoral artery.

The abdominal aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body. It is located closer to the back/midsection. The abdominal aorta supplied blood to the stomach, liver, pancreas, spleen, and many other organs in the body. It transfers oxygen rich blood from our hearts to the rest of the body. The aorta begins at the left ventricle of the heart and creates an arch where it then continues downward to the rest of the body. It also connects many other arteries together. The aorta enters the abdomen through the diaphragm. Additionally, it's located in the abdominal cavity which is where it branches off into many other veins/arteries to form a network to transfer blood.

Major blood vessels are responsible for carrying blood all throughout the body. The blood that is being carried along the body helps the muscles function. The Brachial artery is located in the arm and is very long. It carries oxygenated blood to the arm and is located on both the right and left arms. The artery starts by the shoulder and ends at the elbow before other arteries branch off it. The artery branches out creating smaller arteries that travel further down the arm. The two major tubes that branch off of it are the Radial and Ulnar artery which lead to the hands. The Brachial artery is the main artery responsible for supplying blood to the muscles of the arm. This artery is also where people's blood pressure is checked.

I already knew that the inferior vena cava's role is to carry blood to the heart. The inferior vena cava lies along the right anterolateral aspect of the vertebral column. The inferior vena cava travels through the diaphragm and enters through the right atrium. It is responsible for the transportation of blood from the inferior portion of the body. These being the abdomen and legs. Unlike other vessels, the inferior vena cava does not contain valves. The blood flow to heart is driven by pressure created by normal respiration.
