Anatomy 2 Quarter Final Flashcards
Blood flow toward the heart
veins
What are the 3 sub-systems within venus circulation
portal system of the liver
venus sinuses (dural sinuses)
azygos system
that deal with venous return of blood from the digestive organs to the liver; only system that starts at capillaries and ends at capillaries
portal system of the liver
rely on the force of gravity by which to bring blood from your head.
venus sinuses (dural sinuses)
group of veins draining blood from thoracic cavity (dorsal body wall)
azygos system
what are the 4 classifications for veins?
- superficial- close to surface
- deep- furthest from surface
- deep veins which accompany arteries- opposed to those which exist signally
- Vena comitantes (comites)- paired veins surround and accompany arteries
What are the 4 superficial veins of the upper extremities
basilic vein
cephalic vein
axillary vein
median cubital vein
most medial superficial vein of upper extremities; terminates by joining with the vena comitantes
basilic vein
most lateral superficial vein of upper extremities
cephalic vein
located in middle of elbow, vein used to draw blood
median cubital vein
What are the 6 deep veins of the upper extremities
vena comitantes of brachial artery axillary vein right subclavian vein right brachiocephalic vein left brachiocephalic vein SVC or Superior Vena Cava
used as visual to located and raise artery (brachial)
vena comitantes of brachial artery
first single deep vein of each upper extremity with same name as artery it accompanies
axillary vein
accompanies right subclavian artery
right subclavian vein
union of right subclavian and right internal jugular; leads to the superior vena cava
right brachiocephalic vein
longer because it crosses over aortic arch; formed union of left internal jugular and left subclavian veins; leads to the superior vena cava
left brachiocephalic vein
2nd largest vein, formed by union of left and right brachiocephalic veins, drains any blood from head, neck, upper extremities and thoracic cavity
SVC or superior vena cava
what are the 2 superficial veins of the lower extremities
short (small) saphenous vein
great (long) saphenous vein
Most lateral superficial vein of lower extremities;
It begins on the lateral side of the dorsal venous network of the feet.
It terminates by emptying into the popliteal vein.
short (small) saphenous vein
used as graft for CABG; longest vein the human body runs entire medial aspect of lower extremities by emptying into femoral vein; NEVER use for drainage!
great (long) saphenous vein
What are the 5 deep veins of the lower extremities
femoral vein L/R External iliac vein L/R Internal iliac vein L/R common iliac vein IVC or Inferior vena cava
