3. Each blood tracing should have the following:
o Blood tracing key: in order, a list of arteries blood flows through from the ascending aorta to get to the specified location and a list of veins that carry blood back to either the superior or inferior vena cava from the specified location
o Map: a drawing that has the blood vessels labeled and corresponds to the key
§ If the ascending aorta and aortic arch are B1 and B2 on the key, you will label those blood vessels on the map as B1 and B2.

4. Resources:
Download: The Lecture Textbook BV figures and tables (Tortora 16th
o will help you trace the arteries and veins. You will need the tables in this PowerPoint file to find the last arteries (going to the location) and the first veins (leaving the location) for some of your tracings
§ Example: if your tracing said to go to the jejunum (part of the small intestine), the figures in the lecture textbook will only take you as far as the superior mesenteric artery (supplies the small intestine and proximal colon). Use the tables to find the arteries that branch off the superior mesenteric artery to find the final specific BV (in this case the jejunal artery). The jejunal vein drains the jejunum into the superior mesenteric vein
