specific arteries and veins (ex. left jugular vein), but you DO have to mention general vessel types (ex. large vein) in the order the clot will encounter these vessels, and whether these vessels are in the pulmonary or systemic circulation. Please list (in order) the specific heart chambers and valves it might travel through in the heart. Then identify whether the clot is now traveling through the pulmonary or systemic circulation, and list the vessels it travels through before it lodges producing an embolism in a vessel narrower than itself. When you reply to someone’s post, please describe the consequences of having an embolism in that location, and identify one of the possible locations of an embolism produced by the scenario the original poster described.

Place in order the structures through which blood would flow from the heart to the scalp on the right side of the head and back to the heart. - brachiocephalic vein - right atrium - superficial temporal vein - internal jugular vein - superficial temporal artery - left ventricle - aorta - common carotid artery - superior vena cava - brachiocephalic artery
