Arteries as Pressure Reservoirs

Description
Anastomoses

An anastomoses is the union of the branches of 2 or more arteries supplying the same region of the body
This provides an alternate route for blood flow
Arteries that do not form an anastomosis are called “end arteries”
If an end artery is blocked, blood cannot get to that particular region of the body and necrosis can occur
