Question

Clinical importance of anastomosis around elbow joint

Answer 1

Answer:

Microanatomy and possible clinical significance of anastomoses among hypothalamic arteries. Author information: ... Anastomoses were most frequent among the commissural arteries and in the distribution of the superior hypophyseal arteries and the tuberoinfundibular branches of the posterior communicating artery.

Explanation:

circulatory anastomosis is a connection (an anastomosis) between two blood vessels, such as between arteries (arterio-arterial anastomosis), between veins (veno-venous anastomosis) or between an artery and a vein (arterio-venous anastomosis). Anastomoses between arteries and between veins result in a multitude of arteries and veins, respectively, serving the same volume of tissue. Such anastomoses occur normally in the body in the circulatory system, serving as backup routes for blood to flow if one link is blocked or otherwise compromised, but may also occur pathologically.[1]
