supreme intercostal vein

Examples of supreme intercostal vein in the following topics:

• Veins of the Thorax

  • Bilaterally, it arises from the superior epigastric vein, accompanies the internal thoracic artery along its course, and terminates in the brachiocephalic vein.
  • The supreme intercostal vein is a paired vein that drains the first intercostal space on its corresponding side.
  • It usually drains into the brachiocephalic vein.
  • The renal veins from the kidney and hepatic veins of the liver drain directly into the inferior vena cava.
  • Additionally, the superior and inferior phrenic veins drain the diaphragm and usually open into the internal mammary vein and inferior vena cava, respectively.

• Development of the Heart

  • While the arterial system develops mainly from the aortic arches, the venous system arises from three bilateral veins during weeks four through eight of human development.
  • Approximately 30 posterolateral branches arise off the aorta and will form the intercostal arteries, upper and lower extremity arteries, lumbar arteries, and the lateral sacral arteries.
  • The human venous system develops mainly from the vitelline veins, the umbilical veins and the cardinal veins, all of which empty into the sinus venosus.

• Thoracic Aorta

  • The thoracic aorta's relation, from above downward, is as follows: anteriorly with the root of the left lung, the pericardium, the esophagus and the diaphragm; posteriorly with the vertebral column; on the right side with the hemiazygos veins and thoracic duct; and on the left side with the left pleura and lung.
  • The posterior intercostal arteries are branches that originate throughout the length of the posterior aspect of the thoracic aorta.

  • Supreme Court (1895–1909), and author of the Court's opinion in Lochner v.

• Development of the Cardiovascular System

  • Approximately 30 posterolateral branches arise off the aorta and will form the intercostal arteries, upper and lower extremity arteries, lumbar arteries, and the lateral sacral arteries.
  • The human venous system develops mainly from the vitelline,umbilical, and cardinal veins, all of which empty into the sinus venosus.

• "We the People"

  • In this same vein, courts will not answer hypothetical questions about a statute's constitutionality.
  • While each state was originally recognized as sovereign unto itself, the post-Civil War Supreme Court held that the United States consists of only one sovereign nation with respect to foreign affairs and international relations.
  • The Court has recognized the federal government's supreme power over those limited matters entrusted to it.
  • Sometimes, as a means to explain the US system of state sovereignty, the Supreme Court has even analogized the states as being foreign countries in relation to each other.

• "The People"

  • A state is said to be "sovereign" if any of its ruling inhabitants are the supreme authority over it, a concept distinct from mere land-title or ownership.
  • While each state was originally recognized as sovereign unto itself, the post-Civil War Supreme Court held that the United States of America consists of only one sovereign nation with respect to foreign affairs and international relations; the individual states may not conduct foreign relations.
