Arterial anastomosis

Greetings and greetings. Today we will talk about one of the important vascular connections of our body - the anastomosis of the arterial joint. Let's start learning about this important anatomical structure.

Anastomosis (topographic) - an anastomosis of openings that has a common passage in a person. A characteristic feature of anastomosis is that one of the holes should be larger than the other. It is also important that the anastomosis is not narrow.

Arteries (from Ancient Greek αρτηρια, “vein”, “vessel”, possibly, related to Ancient Greek-Old Ind. ardhi-, related to Ancient Greek *ardhi- “hole”, further Possibly d.-v.-n. hird (English heart, “heart”) or other upper-German ard (-uh) - “breathe”, English hail (also “hello”)

More precisely, an anastomy. Anastomus (from Greek “meeting”, Latin anastomosis, from Latin ana - again, stoma transitional part). But in this case, anastomos would mean a vascular connection that uses smaller holes of the same diameter. Don’t be, as is often the case with typos, completely inaccurate. Well, okay. Go! So, an anastomosis is a vascular formation that requires a wide open channel for blood transmission. One of the main ways of its formation is the appearance of small vessels connecting two large arteries or a large vessel with a very small artery. Anastomoses play an important role in the arterial system because they help regulate blood flow between arteries of different sizes and functions.

The most common examples of anastomoses in the human circulatory system are intersystemic and intrasystemic anastomoses. Intersystemic anastomoses form between two large arterial systems and help ensure an even and stable flow of blood to the brain and body. Intrasystemic anastomoses can form multiple systems connected together within a single system, allowing blood flow to flow smoothly through the system. Blood vessels such as capillaries and arterioles also form anastomotic connections, helping to maintain stable blood transmission throughout the circulatory system.
