Circulatory anastomosis Totally Explained

Everything about Circulatory Anastomosis totally explained

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. There are many examples of these in the body. However clinically important examples include:

Circle of Willis (in the brain)
scapular anastomosis (for the subclavian vessels)
joint anastomoses - clinically very important. Almost all joints receive anastomotic blood supply from more than one source. Examples include knee (and geniculate arteries), shoulder (and circumflex humeral), hip (and circumflex iliac) and ankle. See also patellar network.
pelvic anastomoses
abdominal anastomoses
hand and foot anastomoses (which include the palmar and plantar arches)
Coronary: anterior and posterior interventricular arteries of the heart

Coronary

   Coronary anastomoses are a clinically vital subject: the coronary anastomosis is the blood supply to the heart. The coronary arteries are vulnerable to arteriosclerosis and other effects. Inadequate supply to the heart will lead to chest pains (angina) or a heart attack (myocardial infarction).
   Coronary anastomoses are anatomically present though functionally obsolete. There was some suggestion that they may be helpful if a problem develops slowly over time (this will need to be verified) but in the case of the pathogenesis of CHD they don't provide a sufficient blood flow to prevent infarction.
   There are anastomoses between the Circumflex and right coronary arteries and between the anterior and posterior inter-ventricular arteries. In the normal heart these anastomoses are non-functional.
