00:00 Another important feature of the vasculature are anastomoses. 00:06 Anastomoses are interconnections of blood vessels. 00:10 In the arteries, they are going to provide alternate pathways to ensure continuous flow, even when one of our arteries is blocked. 00:20 These are going to be common in our joints as well as in our abdominal organs, brain, and heart. 00:27 We, however, do not find arterial anastomoses in the retina, the kidneys, and the spleen. 00:35 We also have some anastomoses that are shared between arteries and veins. 00:40 These include the shunts in the capillaries. 00:43 For example, the metarteriole-thoroughfare channel between the arterial and the venule, and a capillary bed. 00:52 Finally, we have our venous anastomoses, which are found in our veins. 00:57 Venous anastomoses are so abundant even if you have an occluded vein, it's going to rarely block blood flow.
