2015年12月23日 · The abdominal aorta, including its branches, is discussed from the level of the diaphragm to its termination into the common iliac arteries. The IVC, along with its tributaries, is discussed from its origin at the confluence of the common iliac …

2024年11月7日 · To find the abdominal aorta’s location, place your fingers just above the belly button, in the midline of your abdomen. You may feel a soft, rhythmic pulse, which is the blood flowing through the aorta, similar to a heartbeat but more prominent. The pulse is generally found about 2 inches (5 cm) above the belly button.

The inferior vena cava (IVC) can be seen entering the right atrium of the heart, which will help differentiate it from the aorta. The IVC can also be differentiated from the aorta by seeing diameter variability on patient inspiration or sniffing.

The various vascular procedures that are carried out on the major vessels in the retroperitoneal area of the abdominal cavity make familiarity with these structures essential. Likewise, surgery of the adrenal glands and the genitourinary system invariably involves one or more of the branches of the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava. + +

The abdominal aorta's venous counterpart, the inferior vena cava (IVC), travels parallel to it on its right side. Above the level of the umbilicus, the aorta is somewhat posterior to the IVC, sending the right renal artery travelling behind it. The IVC likewise sends its opposite side counterpart, the left renal vein, crossing in front of the ...

2023年11月3日 · The inferior vena cava (IVC) is the largest vein of the human body. It is located at the posterior abdominal wall on the right side of the aorta. The IVC’s function is to carry the venous blood from the lower limbs and abdominopelvic region to the heart .

2023年11月3日 · That being said, all arterial blood delivered to this region comes via branches of the abdominal aorta, and all venous blood eventually finds its way back to inferior vena cava (IVC). You can imagine the aorta and IVC as the two trees, with all the abdominopelvic vessels ramifying from them.

2016年1月8日 · The abdominal aorta begins at the diaphragmatic hiatus. 2 The vessel runs in front of the spine and to the left of the inferior vena cava (IVC) until it bifurcates into the common iliac arteries at about the L4 vertebra.

2007年6月1日 · The tributaries of the inferior vena cava differ from the branches of the aorta in two respects. First, those corresponding to the anterior visceral branches of the aorta form the portal vein, which passes into the liver at the porta hepatis. Venous blood then returns to the inferior vena cava via the right, middle, left and accessory hepatic ...

2023年4月9日 · The abdominal aorta is the primary vessel that delivers oxygenated blood to our lower extremities and abdominal organs. It begins just beneath the diaphragm and terminates at the bifurcation of the common iliac arteries. The IVC is the major vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from its tributaries within the abdomen, pelvis, and lower ...
