Lymphatic Vessels tures of the heart, explaining normal
Pulmonary Circulation blood flow through the chambers and
Systemic Circulation valves.
Aorta • Describe the anatomy of the pericardium.
Arterial Distribution to the Head • Distinguish between arteries, veins, and
capillaries, with reference to how their
Arterial Distribution to the Thoracic Limb anatomy reflects their various roles in
Arterial Distribution to the Pelvic Limb transporting blood.
Veins • Explain the nature and function of lym-
Cranial Vena Cava phatic vessels.
Caudal Vena Cava • Identify the main arteries of the systemic
Portal System circulatory system, indicating the por-
Fetal Circulation tions of the body they supply.
• Identify the main veins of the systemic
circulatory system.
• Describe the hepatic portal system.
• Compare and contrast the fetal circula-
tion from the pattern established after
birth. Point out where fetal structures
bypass the pulmonary and hepatic vas-
