In contrast, the term Artery refers to a system of numerous vessels that perform a similar function on a broader scale, distributing blood throughout the body. 6 Every Artery in the body, regardless of its size or location, is tasked with conveying oxygenated blood away from the heart. The...
body of L4 67% of the time, with variations extending from L3 to L5 in the remainder of cases (more often higher than lower). No variation in an individual’s age or sex has been found with respect to the location of theaortic bifurcation; however, the frequency of transitional lumbar ...
There are two types, classified according to anatomical location: Type A involves the ascending aorta; Type B originates in the descending aorta. Acute aortic dissection is often fatal within one month of onset. Surgical treatment may be delayed in aneurysms involving the descending aorta until ...

Additional arch variants include the cervical arch, in which the aortic arch is derived from the third rather than the fourth branchial arch (Fig. 9-8). These arches are recognizable by their unusually high location in the chest, frequently appearing to occupy the apex of the hemithorax. Addi...
The development of collateral arterial circulation to supply the underarterialized lower body also occurs. Because coarctation of the aorta may be characterized by systemic hypertension in the upper body and lower body cyanosis (depending on the location of the coarctation), patients with such a ...
