(cat dissection guide on page 777)
Arteries: aortic arch, brachiocephalic, left and right subclavian, left and
right common carotids, external and internal carotids, brachial, descending

external iliac, internal iliac, femoral.
Veins: inferior and superior vena cavae, brachiocephalic, external
jugular, internal jugular, subclavian, brachial, renal, common iliac,

In human models only:
Basilic vein, cephalic vein, median cubital vein, great
saphenous vein
ADD: pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins and axillary arteries and veins.
EXERCISE 35 THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Be able to describe the structure of the lymphatic system (capillaries, vessels, nodes, trunks, ducts) Know what part of the body drains into each of the two lymphatic ducts. What is the function of lymph nodes? Be able to identify on diagrams and human models the organs of the lymphatic system: tonsils, spleen, appendix. In diagram 35.1 identify the cervical, axillary and inguinal lymph nodes, thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct. Where do they enter the venous system?
