anastomosis

Examples of anastomosis in the following topics:

• Anastomoses

  • A circulatory anastomosis is a connection or looped interaction between two blood vessels.
  • An anastomosis refers to any join between two vessels.
  • Circulatory anastomoses are named based on the vessels they join: two arteries (arterio-arterial anastomosis), two veins (veno-venous anastomosis), or between an artery and a vein (arterio-venous anastomosis).
  • However, this can only occur if the atheroma progresses slowly, giving the anastomosis time to form.
  • The blood vessels of the rectum and anus, showing the distribution and anastomosis on the posterior surface near the termination of the gut.

• Nerve and Blood Supply

  • The blood supply of a synovial joint comes from the arteries sharing in anastomosis around the joint.

• Blood Flow in the Brain

  • Key of which is the circle of Willis, a circulatory anastomosis that supplies blood to the brain and surrounding structures whilst providing redundancy in case of any interruption.

• Sinusoid Development

  • The superior mesenteric vein opens into the middle or dorsal anastomosis.

• Cervical Plexus

  • There is anastomosis with the accessory nerve, hypoglossal nerve, and sympathetic trunk.

• Development of the Cardiovascular System

  • On the obliteration of the stapedial artery, this anastomosis enlarges and forms the internal maxillary artery; the branches of the stapedial artery are now branches of this vessel.

• Medical Imaging

  • There is one beacon on either lateral aspect of the vesicoureteral anastomosis and one in the retrovesical tissue approximately at the level where the seminal vesicles had been.
