8.3 Peripheral circulation & where to find PULSES Flashcards
what is PERIPHERAL CIRCULATION
TRANSPORT of BLOOD and the EXCHANGE of substances between the BLOOD and TISSUES
consists of ARTERIES and VEINS NOT LOCATED in the THORAX or ABDOMEN
circulation must match the flow of blood to the demand
what is the AVERAGE HEART RATE in ADULTS at REST
60-80 BPM
a PULSE is CREATED BY..
PRESSURE WAVES produced from the EXPANSION AND RECOIL of an ARTERY AFTER each BEAT and EJECTION OF BLOOD from the left ventricle of heart into the aorta
what are the 4 PALPABLE PULSE POINTS in the HEAD & NECK:
- CAROTID - COMMON or EXTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY
felt in the anterior triangle of neck, strong pulse - FACIAL
as the facial artery crosses the INFERIOR border of the MANDIBLE - TEMPORAL - SUPERFICIAL TEMPORAL ARTERY
anterior to the ear and posterosuperior to the TMJ - TEMPORAL - ANTERIOR BRANCH of the SUPERFICIAL TEMPORAL ARTERY
posterior to the zygomatic process of frontal bone
which ARTERY PULSE can be palpated at the INFERIOR BORDER of the MANDIBLE
FACIAL
2 areas of TEMPORAL ARTERY that have a Palpable pulse
- SUPERIOR TEMPORAL ARTERY (anterior to ear)
- ANTERIOR BRANCH of SUPERFICIAL TEMPORAL ARTERY
PALPABLE PULSE points in the UPPER LIMB
- AXILLARY
in axilla (armpit) - BRACHIAL - in MIDARM
medial aspect of arm between biceps brachii and triceps brachii muscles - BRACHIAL - in CUBITAL FOSSA
Medial to the Tendon of Biceps Brachii muscle - RADIAL - in DISTAL FOREARM
lateral to tendon of flexor carpi radialis - RADIAL - in ANATOMICAL SNUFFBOX
as it crosses lateral side of wrist between tendons of extensor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus - ULNAR - in DISTAL FOREARM
under lateral margin of the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon, proximal to pisiform
BLOOD PRESSURE measured over which artery
BRACHIAL ARTERY in MIDARM
when taking blood pressure, where is the STETHOSCOPE POSITIONED to HEAR the PULSE (over which artery)
BRACHIAL ARTERY in CUBITAL FOSSA
which pulse is measured in the ARMPIT
AXILLARY
BRACHIAL PULSE in MIDARM is found between which muscles
between BICEPS BRACHII and TRICEPS BRACHII
BRACHIAL PULSE in CUBITAL FOSSA is palpated where in relation to the TENDON of the BICEPS BRACHII muscle
MEDIAL to tendon of biceps brachii
RADIAL PULSE in DISTAL FOREARM is palpated immediately …. to the TENDON of FLEXOR CARPI RADIALIS
LATERAL
ULNAR PULSE in DISTAL FOREARM is palpated immediately UNDER the … MARGIN of the FLEXOR CARPI ULNARIS, proximal to which bone
UNDER LATERAL MARGIN of FCU
and proximal to PISIFORM
RADIAL PULSE in ANATOMICAL SNUFFBOX is palpated as the radial artery crosses the …. side of the wrist,
between the TENDONS of..
LATERAL SIDE of WRIST
between tendons of EXTENSOR POLLICIS LONGUS, EXTENSOR POLLICIS BREVIS, ABDUCTOR POLLICIS LONGUS
palpable pulse points in the LOWER LIMB
- FEMORAL
in the femoral triangle, inferior to inguinal ligament. midway between ASIS and pubic symphysis - POPLITEAL
deep in the popliteal fossa, near the Midline - POSTERIOR TIBIAL
palpated posteroinferior to the medial malleolus - DORSAL PEDIS
felt on dorsum (upper surface) of foot between the tendons of extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus to second digit
which pulse is PALPATED on the POSTERIOR ASPECT of the KNEE
POPLITEAL
which pulse is palpated on the FOOT
DORSALIS PEDIS
on dorsum of foot
DORSALIS PEDIS is palpated BETWEEN the TENDONS of..
EXTENSOR HALLUCIS LONGUS and EXTENSOR DIGITORUM LONGUS to 2ND DIGIT
which pulse is palpated by the ANKLE, POSTEROINFERIOR to the MEDIAL MALLEOLUS
POSTERIOR TIBIAL
FEMORAL PULSE is palpated in the femoral triangle, INFERIOR to the… and MIDWAY BETWEEN …
INFERIOR to INGUINAL LIGAMENT
MIDWAY BETWEEN ASIS and PUBIC SYMPHYSIS
POSTERIOR TIBIAL is palpated POSTEROINFERIOR to which MALLEOLUS
MEDIAL MALLEOLUS
