A

up the lateral aspect of the upper limb

superiorly, between the deltopectoral groove

32
Q

where does the cephalic vein drain into?

A

the axillary vein

33
Q

what does the axillary vein become and where?

A

the subclavian vein

at the lateral border of rib 1

34
Q

where does the basilic vein arise?

A

the dorsal venous network

35
Q

where does the basilic vein travel?

A

up the medial aspect of the limb

36
Q

where does the basilic vein drain into?

A

the brachial vein (deep)

pierces the deep fascia tp get to it

37
Q

where do the two superficial veins of the arm connect?

A

the median cubital vein

38
Q

what is the median cubital vein often used for?

A

venepuncture

39
Q

what are the two main superficial veins of the lower limbs?

A

great saphenous vein

small saphenous vein

40
Q

where does the great saphenous vein arise?

A

the medial aspect of the dorsal venous arch

41
Q

where does the great saphenous vein travel?

A

up the medial aspect of the limb

42
Q

where does the great saphenous vein drain into?

A

the femoral vein by piercing the fascia lata

43
Q

where does the great saphenous vein lie?

A

immediately anterior to the medial malleolus of the tibia

44
Q

what does the great saphenous vein run alongside?

A

the saphenous nerve

45
Q

what is the saphenous nerve a branch of?

A

the femoral nerve

46
Q

where and how does the size of the great saphenous vein increase?

A

increases as it moves more superiorly

due to small veins joining it

47
Q

where does the small saphenous vein arise?

A

from the lateral aspect of the dorsal venous arch

48
Q

where does the small saphenous vein run?

A

up the posterior midline of the leg

where does the small saphenous vein drain into?

A

the popliteal vein

50
Q

all deep veins are bilateral, except from which two?

A

superior vena cava

inferior vena cava

51
Q

how does blood flow from superficial to deep veins?

A

through perforating veins, that enter the deep vein at an oblique angle

52
Q

what prevents backflow of blood through perforating veins?

A

perforating veins are compressed by muscles

53
Q

what are veins that accompany arteries called?

A

vena comitantes
